| 00:00 | - Before we continue, it's important to understand that altering the components or the structure of your vehicle could be potentially dangerous if not done correctly. |
| 00:09 | This doesn't just come down to your own design work but also the quality of the fabrication or manufacturing process used to create the part as well as the materials used. |
| 00:21 | While we'll be discussing some of the basics of engineering design, this isn't a mechanical engineering course so if you have any doubt about the suitability of a part you intend to design, particularly anything involving the steering, suspension or braking components of your vehicle, we'd recommend you seek the guidance of a suitably qualified engineer. |
| 00:43 | It's also important to understand that not every modification will result in the improvement you may be expecting. |
| 00:51 | For this reason it's critical to have a full understanding of the likely implications that your changes could have and be mindful that you're testing them in the right environment. |
| 01:02 | Some modifications may also be illegal for road use in some parts of the world or for race use in specific classes. |
| 01:10 | Nobody wants to waste their time and money producing a vehicle that can't legally be used for its intended purpose. |
| 01:17 | So it's your responsibility to check with your local road authority or motorsport governing body to ensure that your modifications fit within the technical regulation guidelines. |
| 01:28 | This often means working with a qualified engineer throughout the process to ensure that things are being done correctly. |
| 01:36 | It may be all well and good being a skilled CAD user but if you're not confident in your ability to design safe and effective components than it may be best to leave these jobs to a professional. |
