Default New to Car Mods...

I currently own a 2003 Civic LX 5 speed Sedan. I have recently become interested in the modification/racing world, but dont know a whole lot about anything. I was wondering if anyone could give me some good websites for reading material on performance modifications for my vechicle and engine. Also I cant seem to find a website that sells parts that looks reputible, if anyone can post websites they have used/like for their mods I would appriciate that also. Sorry if this post is really ignorant and childish seeming, I tried reading some of the other topics for information but didnt really get what i was looking for, and I dont know the tech terms for the engine i have or anything so I was lost in the engine swap sticky information too. Thanks in advance

If you have any quetsions feel free to PM me. I'll be more than willing to walk you through whatever questions you have. As your post stands there's really no way I can help you as your question is WAY too broad.

Im not looking for the fastest car, really im just looking to get my feet wet and a better grasp of the world of modification. This is why I am asking for informational websites and websites that would sell quality parts for my vehicle. Thanks

http://www.howstuffworks.com for good basic info
http://autozine.kyul.net/techn...ssion for more info...both just kinda introduce you to engines/cars in general. If your lookin into specifically honda's kojima's Honda/Acura performance book is a good basic intro into mods.
hope that helps
