| 00:00 | Before we dive into this course, it's important to understand that altering the components or structure of your vehicle could potentially be dangerous if not done correctly. |
| 00:10 | This doesn't just come down to the quality of your work, but also the parts and materials used. |
| 00:16 | So, if you have any doubt about the integrity or the suitability of wheels that you intend to use, we'd recommend you seek the guidance of a wheel specialist. |
| 00:26 | It's also important to understand that not every modification will result in the improvement you may be expecting. |
| 00:32 | For this reason it's critical to have a complete understanding of the system as a whole and the likely implications that your changes could have. |
| 00:40 | Being mindful that you're testing them in the right environment and won't damage any other components. |
| 00:46 | Some modifications may also be illegal for road use in some parts of the world or for race use in specific classes. |
| 00:54 | Nobody wants to waste the time and money producing a vehicle that can't legally be used for its intended purpose. |
| 01:01 | 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. |
| 01:11 | Specifically relevant to this course, there are wheels and tyre sizes that can't be used in particular race series. |
| 01:18 | So, again be sure to check before spending the money on these parts. |
| 01:23 | In some cases this means working with a qualified engineer throughout the process to ensure that things are being done correctly. |
| 01:31 | It may be all well and good understanding the theory but often the practical reality tells a different story. |
| 01:38 | So, if you're ever unsure, then please consider asking a professional to check all of your plans at the very least before diving in. |
