Automotive repair and modification
Over the course of my position at Kartmania, I have developed a desire to repair and modify my own vehicle as a means of learning and understanding the mechanics of automotive engineering. What started off as basic services and maintenance quickly developed into heavy modification that included internal engine modification and transmission replacement. I use this hobby not only for entertainment but to develop understanding of the complex design and mechanisms of a car.
