    ah cool. I grew up in Marietta. Have you checked the prices of UTI? i was looking at going there but tuition was like 20k+ or some crazy shit. And they seemed really strict on stuff. What are you going to go for?

    Yeah you are right about tuition but it is something i have always wanted so i am going to try my hardest to get it. I am going to work for BMW or Toyota. I like BMW cuse of the money aspect and then toyota because i love toyota cuse i own one and will try and never own a different tye of car.

    Ah ok....i didnt know if you were looking into the racing aspect. Cause Lanier tech has a good program for that. Save yourself alot of $$$. Also i have heard that Gwinette Tech has a very good mechanic program.

    Yeah i am going to start looking locally because I do not think I will have the money to go to UTI even with some type of loan. The bad thing is I have to find a place that accepts people with a GED.

    um havent looked into them, so not sure if they are ase certified but i bet they are. If not, you can just take the ase test on your own.

    Yeah but the swap is almost 100% custom. The wireing, mounts, I dont even know what and how the tranny setup is like., axels. There is a lot of work to make it fit. Also I am not sure if it will be worth it. A 3s only make what 240-260hp at the crank?

    You could just take a couple years off and work full time to save up...or just start going to a local school and get hope...and you wont have to pay for tuition or anything. Def. dont give up on your dream, just try to find ways to make it there.
