So as the topic states, I'm completely new to fixing up cars and such. I know a bit about cars, hondas especially, and get the jist of how they work and what you can do to make them better I just don't know where or exactly what parts to get to do that. I'm going to college this fall and am looking at buying a 2004 Civic EX. I would like to do some work on it to make it a better (faster, better handling, etc) car, and honestly I have no idea where to start. Can anyone give me some tips on some tune ups and parts or where to get them or guides on how to perform a tune up for someone on a pretty tight budget, or just work that can be done on it with minimal part replacement? I know it's kinda broad, but I figured I got to start somewhere and this forum is awesome.

 

the best advice i can give is search and check the FAQ. do your homework before buying parts and it will save you major headaches later on

 

Start with the FAQ's, and then ask questions.
