Automotive Projects

As someone with a lifelong fascination for automotive technology, I have gained an extensive amount of knowledge and hands-on experience through various projects I’ve completed in my spare time. I take great pride in following the manufacturer’s factory service manuals to ensure that each project is executed properly and to the highest standard.

One of the most challenging projects I have undertaken is complete vehicle teardowns. This involves the careful disassembly of the entire vehicle, down to the last bolt, and reassembling it according to the manufacturer’s specifications. This has given me a comprehensive understanding of the vehicle’s design and function, from the engine and transmission to the suspension and brakes.

I have also tackled more specific projects, such as transmission and engine teardowns and swaps. This involves dismantling and rebuilding the components of the engine or transmission, replacing any worn or damaged parts, and then installing the reconditioned component back into the vehicle. This requires a high level of precision and attention to detail, as even the slightest mistake can result in major damage to the engine or transmission.

Another area of interest for me is wheel and transaxle upgrades. Upgrading the wheels can improve the vehicle’s overall performance, handling, and appearance. Meanwhile, upgrading the transaxle, which includes the differential, axles, and transmission, can significantly enhance the vehicle’s drivetrain and power delivery.

Finally, I have also delved into electronic performance upgrades or changes. This can involve reprogramming the vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU) to increase horsepower and torque, adjusting the timing or fuel delivery to optimize performance, or installing aftermarket components such as a cold air intake or performance exhaust system. These upgrades require a deep understanding of the vehicle’s electronic systems and an ability to troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

Overall, my automotive projects have given me a great deal of satisfaction and knowledge about the inner workings of cars. I am always eager to tackle new projects and continue to expand my understanding of automotive technology.
