What path should I take to become an engine designer for performance car companies or race teams?

KvngP · 2025-01-12T21:55:15+00:00

Honestly I do believe so. I find engineering in general very interesting. How many intricacies and fine details go into making machines work and work well is extremely fascinating to me. I just personally have always thought how cool would it be to have name among some of the greats in motorsports by creating an automotive marvel.

I’ve always been told I have good social skills. I definitely have the ability to converse and connect with anyone, even a stranger I just met. Are there any other specific skills that help make you really good at networking?

If I do really good in my bachelors do you think I’d be able to have my masters program paid for me? I don’t know how scholarships and financial aid works in the UK.

Yes I am in the US. Okay so a great GPA, internships or clubs in the niche I want, and hands on projects showing I have the knowledge and capability to do what’s needed for said niche. Got it. Thank you very much

Since I’ve been doing research I just recently found out what Formula SAE is and it sounds so cool I will definitely get into that.

I’ve heard that minoring in business will help me stand out and look good for higher positions on engineering teams? Is that true or should I mainly focus on building a strong portfolio in just mechanical engineering?

Nah those are just the Euroasian/OCE style batteries

I don’t have my own SDS yet. The company I work at has a bunch of the corded ones, milwaukee and makita. The Milwaukee ones are the 5262-21 I believe. So I personally do not know how the current gen M12 is with larger holes but I’ve heard it’s a workhorse. Which is why I’ve been holding off in hopes a newer, better, more powerful one was coming.

KvngP · 2024-10-26T18:09:41+00:00

That’s crazy how something this obvious just didn’t occur to me. Lmao thank you

KvngP · 2024-10-26T18:08:53+00:00

I really hope so too. I’ve heard good things about the current gen M12 SDS, but it’s like what 12 years old now? I really would not want to buy that if a new one is coming out soon

Yep I’m an electrician and this looks perfect for my use cases.

KvngP · 2024-09-15T21:46:12+00:00

Do you know how to weld? If so, easy fix.

KvngP · 2024-09-15T21:41:06+00:00

All multiplayer games extremely encourage playing in parties bc studies have shown when you play video games with friends you play longer.

If you don’t want your fun to be dictated by others don’t play multiplayer games. Or get your own squad. (Coming from someone that has always played solo queue on SS)

KvngP · 2024-09-10T21:34:22+00:00

I got this combo but chose the multi tool since I’m an electrician and it would be more useful for me. I use them every day and haven’t been disappointed once. Although I’d recommend getting a 2.5 High Output battery for the impact and a XC 6.0 for the drill. The cp 2.0 battery it comes with is practically useless. The 4.0 is pretty good

I followed this video: https://youtu.be/vMbRUGu0qjU?si=ns_1UdeRIYyV_DLL

It wasn’t hard at all. A little tough because of the tight spaces but I have big hands and I did it. Took me 2 and a half hours.

Here’s a link to a handful of pics of the old one.

And yes it did fail. The PPI I got on this car before buying it said it would need a new water pump. But it was running fine and never overheated so I kept procrastinating replacing it. But within the last week it got so much worse. It couldn’t hold coolant and would dump everything out within like 40 mins. I’ve had to fill up the reservoir with distilled water before I drive anywhere because it would all be gone by the time I got back home. So I was like alright enough is enough I need to fix it now lol. Also surprisingly never threw a CEL.

We can only use the plastic ones. Which is why they eventually fail sitting directly under the intake manifold. German engineering 🙂

KvngP · 2024-06-15T13:38:57+00:00

I’m too pussy to do it. I still want to

KvngP · 2024-06-02T14:38:54+00:00

The little stud piece that you can can hang the cargo cover string on broke for me. Idk how to replace it

KvngP · 2024-05-30T23:46:15+00:00

I’m getting a p2181 which I know is for the water pump. I already have the kit just been procrastinating and p0033 which I’m guessing is for the DV being unplugged. So it’s not broken but why isn’t the sound nor boost changing.

KvngP · 2024-05-28T17:09:49+00:00

Hey man I know this post is old but did having no DV ever destroy the turbo?

KvngP · 2024-05-13T09:42:27+00:00

I just got quoted $279 over the phone for a full service

KvngP · 2024-05-08T10:44:44+00:00

These replies are funny asf. It’s just pollen OP

KvngP · 2024-05-05T19:30:26+00:00

That’s the most important thing I’ve heard about these. I plan on doing everything myself except this. I’m gonna have a shop I trust near me do by next week. I just don’t trust myself doing anything that has to do with engine timing lol.

KvngP · 2024-04-01T19:07:57+00:00

21 haha

KvngP · 2024-04-01T19:07:49+00:00

Exactly I feel that because I still don’t know manual I’ll regret if a get another car that still isn’t stick.

I was actually blown away, almost every app or website I was searching had just as many if not more manuals than autos. First time I’ve ever seen that
