learning to fix engines by yourself

is it reccommended. i know having classes is probably better but may also cost a lot(since most ppl do it for careers), and might be inconvenient.

books (chilton guides), internet (message boards, forums, websites) Personally I have a subscription to alldatadiy.com for my car. I also just searched for the "fan club" website for my car. currently it's a 3000gt so 3si.com, but the engine just blew and I don't wanna fork over the cash for a new engine so I am in the market for a new car, hopefully one better suited for drifting.

point being, classes aren't the only ways to learn things

make good friends with someone that can walk you through this kind of stuff

how long does it typically take(estimate). i guess i'll probably meet someone if i get into the drift world, and i wouldn't mind paying a lil for someone to show.

not long at all if you're a nice guy and don't mind buying lunch

also if you want to learn some engine stuff, i know that this site has swap DVD's that might help get you familiar with engine stuff, even if you're not swapping that particular motor
