Total Car Newbie

Hey guys,

Here's the deal, I'm 17, first car, don't know much about them in general, but i'd love to learn how they work more, how to upgrade and modify engine and electronic and brakes and suspension and exterior. This is in an effort to eventually modify my 323 astina '02.

If anyone could help me out, or point me in the direction of the way to go and how to find out about this sorta stuff, that'd be great.

Thanks, Matt.
