That's what it says in my signature
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I knew I'd seen a more comprehensive version somewhere... Google (and my own eyes, obviously) failed me!
…that's why Allegro will look as good 5 years from now as it does today.
If I was allowed a sigpic, this would be it

I am planning on getting the car running first, However! as I have said elsewhere,
question and plan first, and the longer you have to plan it and to obtain the right
parts the better before you actually do/attempt it.

Yeah, that makes sense. After all, if you weren't planning everything out first, you might get the engine to the point where it was almost ready to be connected up to its fuel and electricity supplies, only to find that - for example - an expensive, bespoke radiator wasn't going to fit with other parts that you need to squeeze in there too. And that would be a bit of a nuisance I should think. :|
