well what do u wanna knw?

the internet is your playgound --- look up stuff in "google"

Do u have a car? -cause if u do, everycar has some forum on the net -- which have LOADS of info.!!!!

For example i recently found - http://www.superhonda.com or asia.vtec.net

but just look on the net and u will find anything!! -- if u doubt somrthing - then some of the experst on this forum can help u.

Its a bit broad to ask - teach me! - what do u want to knw about???
intakes, headers, exhausts, AFC's, bodykits, turbos, NOS, superchargers, bodykits, electrics etc etc etc etc etc -- the list can go on forever - especially since every car is 'different' to an extent ...

i have learnt alot from some of the people on this site - they can explain things better than any website can - cause they have a true understanding and love for cars - dont abuse it - but use it to learn :) (but try to learn somethings urself first....)

do u knw what headers, Air intakes and exhausts are? (since they are nearly always the first performance mods done) - this is a good place to start ... look up some threads on this site and on others - if u still dont understand post it up here and we will do our best to explain it to you
(i knw im repeating myself - but thats just to get more $$ :wink: )

Is that "Z" your car?

As accord said, learn about car parts is broad? Count how many parts your car has.. Going from ECU's to brake pistons to lightbulbs.

Did you ever realize a normal human being has 217 bones in his body :P

The same way u never know how many parts of your car has like Mikeh stated.. accord - nismo and jarrah did their part by telling you to read about engines which would help you in understanding how the pistons work till the way your car moves and all the other aspects invovled it..

I like pistons and its chamber caz i once blew it up :) woah Engine seizing is nice LOL tch tch ( Dad screwed my arse )

Then once you read it all, your next step is to actually drive something open the hood and check for the parts you would really feel like you are a part of it by figuring out what is what and how it works.. Im saying this because an injector or a carburator (however u spell the god damn thing) is different not only from each other but also from turbo to a super charger.. next stop is prolly NOS..

If you want info on some part that you wanna know more on.. there are guys who can help you out...!

Or indeed, if you have any question.. We're always here to serve you :)

When I started learning about cars, I asked many people many questions.. but afterwards it feels good knowing what you have under the hood. When you have a certain problem, you know what it might be and how to fix it.. And when somebody opens his hood, you know what everything actually does..

So in my hunt to post somewhere i ended up here..

U still lookin for info Zohair...

Therez something that i wanna tell u... U r aware of this though... Human brain is amazing.... even now sceince cant fully explain how memory is stored, where memory is stored and how it is being retrieved.. MY point iz....

For example me... Mech engg and Comp Grad... I am good at both... now i am stuck... I am unable to eat wit both hands... Its too much... hope u got the idea...

Knowledge is power...

In the end as well.. the more you know about something, the more you have the feeling you don't know it at all.
