thats basically the best way to start. find some good sites, like 240sxforums.com and read their stickies. that will give you enough information to come up with the right questions.
Just like in all things, you will have those people that actually help and those poeple that make fun of everything to make themselves feel better. you'll get used to being told to shut up and search. just ignore it and find the people that actually help.
you can message me anything, i'm more than happy to help.
have fun
