Blog 5 project reflection and working EQ



1. So far I have been very interested in finding out exactly how a vehicle works. It has also been a great experience to actually work on one too. I could easily see this as a hobby of mine and would love to work on a car on my own some day, a challenging one, a classic car.

2. One source would be "How a turbo charged engine works" this article explained in great detail how a regular car's engines works compared to a "turbo charged". It also explained how the exhaust can slow down a cars engine, which I did not know. The piston actually has to have enough force to drive the exhaust out the tai pipe.

3. What has worked for me so far is the ability to comprehend the mechanics of a vehicle. Its not difficult to make sense on what is happening under the hood as you drive.

4. What has not worked is my plan of getting my own, broke down, car that I was supposed to rebuild with minor help with my mentor. Modifying and restoring a car takes time, and money, two things I just don't have enough of.

5.
"What are the best ways to modify your vehicle, inside & out ?"

  • For my mentor ship I am still planning to learn as much as can to fully understand the mechanics behind a vehicle. I think the hands on work is much more entertaining and easier to understand when looking at a part that your working on. This month me and my mentor are planning to strip the old paint of his car and apply a new coat, which should be exciting!
