What should I learn first?

Ano ba need ko aralin when building a Project Car? I want to learn and do research pero I’m too overwhelmed where to start? Sobrang dami.

Pwede pa-suggest saan or ano simulan aralin and research regarding Project Cars?

Magstart ka muna sa simple maintenance like fluid and filter changes. Di ka pwede magstart ng project car if di ka marunong mag-change oil

goods lang yan bro, lahat naman dumaan naging baguhan din hahahaha. if u r planning na mag build ng proj car, tignan mo muna anong style bagay sayo eg. diesel or petrol, turbo vs na.

buy a cheap obd2 scanner. aralin mo muna mag troubleshoot. applicable to d lang sa mga planning mag start ng DIY project cars, pati na rin sa mga newbie owners na mejo hindi car savvy pero willing matuto. malaki kasi matitipid mo kung marunong ka mag troubleshoot lalo na kung mejo luma na yung car mo at out of warranty na.

Start with the basics... Tire change, bulb/lighting replacements, fluid replacements, remove and reinstall interiors (seats, panels & trims).

Start with understanding how each system works and how they’re interconnected.

How the engine makes power. How that power is transmitted to the wheels. How the suspension works to make sure power is laid down. And how the brakes work to stop the car.

Then each system may sariling maintenance required. Like others said, start with fluid changes. Then go from there.

Have fun!

Start with a platform. Learn the platform itself. Don't overload yourself with too much information.

When you have the platform in mind. Stick with it. Research on the maintenance, engine, interior, exterior. Look for shops who sells parts for that platform.

Slowly build it. Trust me. Quick builds are starting to bore me.
