Hi I'm Feingreth

[feingreth]

I'm Sebastian (aka Feingreth) from Romania. I study electronics but my real passion is cars (I don't know why I chose electronics over mechanics but I can't go back now), I am 20 years old and have a Clio 1.2 8v which I just got from my parents for free and its mine (soo happy). I'd like to learn more about the mechanics of a car, I read many articles on this site and I must say that I am very pleased with what I've learned, but I want more... if you have any suggestions about any books that might help me please tell!! P.S. English is NOT a problem, I hope anyway

Hi Feingreth, welcome to the site and I'm glad you are learning a lot already. Your electronics skills will still be important as cars become more and more computer driven. There are some good books on race car setup but these tend to be too extreme for the road. I've never really found a book that covers car modifications which is why I started this site.

[feingreth]

Thanks for the welcome and I'll keep on learning and searching for more info maybe I'll find a good book here in my country, btw great idea starting the site it is awesome, I wanted to start a site myself some time ago.... but I didn't have any good info to put on it and abandoned it after a while...

Regards
Sebastian
PS Keep the articles coming

Welcome to the site mate

[feingreth]

Thank you everyone.... and thank you nitroangel... finally a girl who knows her stuff . In my country the only thing that girls know about car is that they run on petrol or gas and... well... thats about it, for a moment there I thought that it was a lost cause... thank you for proving me wrong...

Lol (laugh out loud) anytime funny thing is that my golf modifications were easy but then I got a bee in my bonet about being the first to modify a peugeot in SA and now I am up a creek without a paddel!!!!!

but aggghhh it is fun anyway just trying to figure out how to get a supercharger or a turbo in it but the compression too high in the motor but an electric supercharger might actually be the answer


is there a post your baby (and by that I mean car) on the forum?????

if you look at the near the top there should be a pics button select that and you can upload you pics of the car as dont hink theres a post for pics of your cars closest i can hink of is "what do we all look like" in the general chat (where only about 5 of us took part)

electric super chargers are a big no no with a lot of us here

have you thought about changin gthe engine to a turboed version like the T-16 engine

[nitroangel]

okay I am all ears; I mean eyes....... why the negativity with electric superchargers I would love your opinion.

the Turbo will mean that I have to replace everything polima bits (intakes) besides I am all for more power but damn boy a 1.6 with T16 yor
