Beginning of my journey

I've just got a 2nd hand car (97 protege 323, and everything is basic inside, so i suppose it's the DX model?).

My friend told me to come here and learn things and get help. Techincally speaking I've started reading up on cars not long ago and only know the surface materials.

Anyway, I need some help as to where to start off learning things about my car and what part- changes can be done to my vehicle.

What would your suggestions be to start off first on the car? what should i focus and read up/work on first?


PS.------
*Just an impossible though.
If by chance anyone of you guys live in Toronto (I live in scarborough) and willing to teach and share things, hopefully I can come look around~~ that'll be cool

1st off go to autozone and buy a real jack , one of the 2 ton ones , then use that to jack the car up . lossend the bolts on the wheel and pull the wheel off and put the other on

Oh yeah,
A good place for parts (though expensive) is www.corksport.com . CS is in Portland Oregon and thats where I get most of my parts from. Click on 'CLICK HERE FOR PICS' in my signature to see a fine example of a 97 Protege...

Yeh Bruce, I know some of the procedures (by reading), I'm just really lacking the practical hands-on experience...

Thanks Dawg. Hope to see you around in the forums
