Beginner Questions

Okay so i'm new to cars almost entirely and i currently drive a 1993 Honda Civic Coup and was told to learn about cars just learn about mine first and then expand from there! So i searched for some Civic forum and came upon here! So really i have no idea where to start or how to and i was hoping some people could point me in the right direction or help me out! I'd be a great help! Any sites that will teach me the basics and such? Any tips or info you can give me? Any help will be great. Thanks much!

Re: Beginner Questions

Yeah i know it's very broad but that's why i came here! I was hoping i could get pointed in the right direction as of what to learn about and such. But there are guides or pamphlets in those auto stores? Those would be good? What else? Thanks for the help.

Re: Beginner Questions

I would use the search button if i knew what to look for or learn but i don't! I wish i did but that's why i'm kind of asking what to learn first or what basics are good to know. Thanks for the input.

Re: Beginner Questions

Sigh .. go learn about the engine. You probably, most likely, have a D series, okay? Okkaayy

Seriously though...you think the people here will spoon feed you the info ?
There's something called GOOGLE.
It's not on the web to just look pretty

Re: Beginner Questions

the 4 black round thingies are tires, they will make all the solid contact to the outer world.
the thingies they are wrapping around are called wheels.
Start from there.

Or find friends that know cars and listen them talking to others about cars.

You can as well simply go to the frikking magazine stand and get some common magazines that have articles that are informativce about cars.

I am not gonna spoon-feed a guy, no way!
