Junior year of highschool I took Automotive technology 1 and passed with 90% semester 1 and a 102% semester 2. In my senior year I continued on the automotive pathway and took Automotive 2 and currently(November 2024) have a 102%. At the end of my junior year I started building an Lq4 from the bare block up. As of November I have the engine fully running on an engine stand where I had to tune and configure the PCM to run independently from the vehicle.
