Default Help me learn?

I literally know almost nothing about cars. Could someone tell me basic stuff I should know about cars? A specific car I want is a 2006 RSX but I don't know like what kind of engine is good for it or anything I should work on if I bought one.

Is it a manual or automatic? What are you looking to do to it? Do you want to get performance mods or cosmetic mods for looks?

I would start off slowly and not go too crazy all at once. Get some good coilovers to start, that's going to make it more fun to drive right out of the box. After that look into performance headers, exhaust etc, it depends how serious you are about performance though. If you bolt on bunch of performance parts you should also get the car tuned to really take advantage of your new parts.

If you're not going to track the car then honestly you don't need to go that crazy on performance mods. I would definitely start with some coilovers to drop it a bit and improve handling and after that look into cosmetic mods to make it look how you want. Look around the forums at cars that you like and see what you want to do to yours. Good luck and always remember to have fun thats what its all about.

Thank you so much!!! one more thing, I don't know to much about turbos but I know they make it a lot faster from what I heard. Could you explain how that would work on a RSX?

If youre thinking about putting a turbo on the car make sure you take it to someone who knows what theyre doing. If not done right you can ruin your engine easy. There are threads on here that go into detail about turbos and that kind of thing. https://honda-tech.com/forced-induct...wered-1749857/

Hey so I actually decided I wanted to look into G7 Accords instead. My buddy said they're faster and personally I think they look better and are cheaper. I see a lot of accords with twin turbos but I don't know what those are. Also what is dc5 and K2?

I'm sorry, but this kind of information is EXTREMELY easy to find if you make even the slightest bit of effort to do some research.

If this is an attempt at trolling... well, that's ill-advised.
