As stated many times my mentor and I have had problems with the engine. Every time we turn it on a new problem is reviled. This time a piston was burnt out. Instead of combusting the fuel, like it should, it would leak threw its sides. We have a total of three engines so it was just a matter of swapping the faulty piston and switching it with its replacement. I don't really mined having to take apart the engine multiple times, only because there is always something new to work with.

1. What is the best way to refurbish a vehicle in order to get its optimal performance?

2. Having the right canvas, vehicle, is critical before any refurbishing should take place.

detail 1- Some luxury vehicles like BMW and Lexus are not worth touching because they are to expensive or are already equipped with modification.

Detail 2- Cars like Hondas Toyotas and Subaru's are "project friendly" these cars are easy and cheap to refurbish compared to other vehicles.

detail 3-  Most importantly the vehicle must be able to have it performance "upgradeable" as for luxury vehicles it is best that they stay the way they are and only certified mechanics can work on them to avoid damage.

Choosing the right car in order to increase performance is critical because some cars would be impossible due to the fact that certified mechanics can only work on them; and some cars are to expensive to even start and try to increase there performance because of the price of the regular parts.
