00:00 | - Hi my name is Zac Perston and I'm a technical educator here at HPA. |
00:04 | I've been involved in the automotive performance world for many years, at both the hobbyist level, working on my own personal projects, and at the professional level, working on top tier single seat race cars. |
00:15 | I've completed full electrical fit outs on numerous vehicles, using components and materials selected to adhere to strict budgets, along with builds where budget wasn't even a slight consideration. |
00:25 | My experience in this industry has taught me what works, what doesn't, what is reliable, and what is likely to fail when subjected to the harsh automotive environment. |
00:36 | In 2015 I completed an honours degree in electrical engineering at the University of Canterbury. |
00:41 | A major part of my final year was being a member of the team that competed at the Australasian Formula SAE competition. |
00:47 | This was a fantastic experience, full of challenges and learning experiences. |
00:52 | Having a strong automotive background before heading to university, allowed me to see how the theoretical knowledge on offer crosses over to the real world. |
01:01 | And it cemented that there are fundamental techniques and concepts that apply to either a grassroots strictly budgeted build or a full on twisted and sealed motorsport spec build. |
01:11 | The aim of this course is to pass these techniques and concepts along to you. |
01:15 | Priming you to tackle your own wiring projects with the confidence of a successful outcome. |
