I have 10180 posts on here alone, how many hours does that count for
I'm pretty experienced electrically, but there are some vehicle specific stuff I don't have the experience, or specifically, the equipment for, but it doesn't matter where the electricity or electronics are, they all run off the same basis.
But I will admit what I don't know and I show where I get my info from. The internet is a great place to start, but you gotta move on to real world knowledge and experience to fill in the gaps, put things in perspective, and off the paper and into real things. I've made contacts, and learned what kind of people I look for when I need info or stuff done; I go by what they have to say, their enthousiasm in what I want done, and just my gut feeling. My mechanic is literally a genious; first Canadian to win the a top North American mechanic award. Even with everything he knows, he likes the stuff I come to him with cause it's either stuff he rarely does, or sometimes, even new stuff to him. He's taken me under his wing and taught me a alot, directly and indirectly. He's more than a mechanic, but turned into a great friend. Here in Quebec I've got a cousin that worked as a mechanic for a professional DMCC driver (he's taking 2012 off to enjoy it rather than work), who has a tv show and a drift school. He's even done some neat things like do some work on the HTT Plethore, I kid you not, I'm not making this stuff up. I wish I could remember all the cool stuff he's worked on and learnt from. I can't remember who he learnt some welding and body work techniques from, but it was a known guy too, dammit! He's really modest about it it seems cause I'm just finding out about it now. If there's someone I know that'll be a better driver than me, it'll be him; look forward to going up against him this year
He's even got me thinking about harmonics and might me converting me anti-UDP, heh. I look forward to the s--- we'll get done to my cars, which the only thing holding me back is money; the Rx-8 can potentially be awesome and we've even done some ideas brewing for the Xterra too! Regardless, if I don't know it, I got people who do
If I don't know something, I'll just plainly say it, don't see the point in pretending it making stuff up. If it's hear say or experience, I'll say it as such. I don't try to fool anyone, and I take pride in being honest.
