I'm also amazed on how much knowledge is out there regarding cars.

For example, playing Gran Turismo, I buy the highest level of suspension, all these performance parts, but I have no idea on how to set up a car. I just lower it and stiffen the suspension, but I have no idea on what I'm actually doing. How do you set up a car? Is it depending on its center of gravity? Power? Weight? How do tire alignment and suspension settings work with each other?

There's also things like gear ratios, final drive, etc.



I always tell others that owning a car is more than just doing an oil change and make sure it doesn't run out of gas. I personally like to understand a system that Im working on, or own, same reason of why I decided to build my PC so that I could understand what was going on, now I can easily diagnose issues and make recommendations on parts.



Someone show me the way.

You can start here. It's such a broad subject that it is hard to tackle in one go. It starts with learning what it is you are trying to fix.
