Default new here

hey, im extremely new to cars. I just got interested after my best friend introduced me to it all. I suddenly got all interested in how cars work, the engine, the Modifications, everything. But she doesn't kno the mechanics of the car really. Could anybody tell me where to start learning EVERYTHING about cars and Modifications?

Hi and welcome. Look at sites like howstuffworks.com to find out the basic mechanics and how an engine works. I would do this first because you need to understand how and why an engine works and does what it doe before you can think of tuning it. For the Modifications, the best place to look is probably good tuning magazine. I think Haynse do a good manual for tuning and Modifications, that is probably worth a look.

Welcome and well said Billyo. I don't think there is such a thing as a finished modded car!

I'd probably drive to work d1 style if money were no object and there was no such thing as a road traffic act and other motorists!
