tuning them is a broad word that i wouldnt use. i would however say that hondas are a great platform to learn on if you have an interest in cars. they are like lego's and are fairly simple to diagnose and repair. parts can be found fairly cheaply (though if too cheap, often "hot") and there is plenty of aftermarket support for almost every part you could ever want to replace.

low price tag, interchangeability of parts and huge aftermarket support. You've also got the added bonus of an OBD1 honda ECU being essentially a stand alone ECU, its very easy to chip and tune, and comparatively cheap.
