Turbo-charged

whats more odd is the T1 motor sports you have listed in your signature......i think we are all familar with T1 race development.....but not T1 motorsports.....do they have a website? lol

T1 Motorsports is the sister company of T1 race development.

The King said it best "Turn left, go fast". Trial and error for me but it seems 95% of the folks out there wait for a Tony1, Felix Medina, or a Cortney Green to have sucess with any certain product before they decide on using it on their own. Alot of smaller named guys deserve alot more respect and credit then given.

ricer.

anyway to answer the question, from my dad. and from someone who is a honda fanatic. and from reading, and from taking things apart and putting it back together or at least trying to. and from breaking down alot.

I learned my skills from being in drag racing from the time I was born. My dad drove Top gas and top fuel and most things in between. My brother drove a super stocker and built a alcohol funny car.

I crewed on several different teams growing up : Pro Mod (nitrous), Funny car, Comp car (7 sec Z34 ).

I also had several great teachers that took time to share things with me.

If you are looking to gain knowledge in any racing industry find a team that will let you help and start from there. Do a good job and don't goof off and other doors will open up for you.

KILLAB17VTEC

i learned my skills on DIY.just start parting things out and putting it back together.still going.

Turbocivic94

I gained my knowledge from Puerto Ricans...

MantiSWhite

I hear about these peeps (felix and tony) through my friend ryan. And from what I heard Tony is a bad a* tuner.

Racing i learned early on from my father. Have been going to tracks since i was 2. We have always had super comp/ comp cars.

Learned the basics of working on them from him as well.

Then built a show car for a few years while my bro built a sick all motor hatch. Learned a lot by his trial and errors over a 2 year time span.

Then it came time to build my own and my bro helped me a lot and then it was just me getting in there and doing it.

Honda tech definitely helped with being able to research
