Re: Trying to learn about cars....... (icelarry27)

this is a good place as well. just hang out and read a lot of the technical posts, and you'll pick up a bunch of stuff.

ask questions. anyone who flames you for asking a legitamate question is just an *******.

The main thing that will speed up the learning process by 10x is to actually get under the car and start wrenching. Take things apart, watch other people. Once you get a hands on experience of seeing how the things work/installed, you will understand what you read on honda-tech.

Some of the things I read on this site dont help me. Even if they are really good explanations. Im just a hands on kinda guy.

Amen to that, working on them is the best way to go, but reading also helps.

Their right read first then apply the knowledge. Experience is King.. Any questions you have just ask and you will most likely recieve a vast amount of knowledge on H-T..and your questions are going to be anwered 98% of the time.

Re: Trying to learn about cars....... (Nissmaxx)

After you get some good general knolege, get the Helminc manual for your car, it's a good place for info on were thing are under the hood. Also for hondas and how they really work you can't beat the Tech2Tech Book.
