Smart men learn from their own mistakes, wise men learn from the mistakes of others.
Im not too bad at fixing/modifying stuff, but tuning is just a different world to me

i can do all but the tuning. but for me its more of a "do i want to go to work fix jet engines then come home and fix my engines" luckily i dont have much longer as an engine mechanic. which means i wont mind working on my stuff.

i would say im alright/good,
i know more than your average person, and ido pretty much everything on my own.
I do consult the peopl on this site from time to time, if there is something im confused on, but other than that ive got the car reasonably well figured out. Im still learing about the tuning parts of things, but ive got the mechanical/electronic stuff down.
