I'd really like to learn more about my Z, the inner workings, how to do certain things etc- but I don't want to experiment on my car for fear of messing something up. I'm a pretty technical guy, but looking at engine schematics just doesn't seem to help me. How can I learn more about my Z and continue to educate myself so that one day I can rebuild my own engine or install my own exhaust without having to seek out someone well qualified each time? Any good schools? Books? Training videos? Thanks!

**I must say this forum is definitely a great resource- but for someone who learns by doing?

Reading is a good way.

The Manual although it's a little obscure in areas:

Agreed, find all the tech articles you get and read them, even if it's for the same thing. Most things aren't that difficult, just requires common sense.

If you see me on AIM feel free to hit me up and pick my brain. I'd be more than happy to teach what I can.
