cars for dummies

just kidding. Just go to a bookstore of your choice. But honestly, there is more information on the internet then in any book in that store. Also, I would really look into what car you want to build first. A Civic isn't a great choice in my opinion because there is so many crap parts out there. Maybe look at all the online communities and see what you're really getting into.

With an EG, you're getting into being made fun of for the amount of time that you own the car.
