- Fri Jun 03, 2011 12:59 pm #257950 Hi everyone,
I'm fourteen and I'm going back to the states for the summer.
In the past few weeks I have fallen in love with the idea/concept of tuning up hondas. and the EG was a clear favorite. But there's a problem, I live in singapore, I'm a US and Canadian citizen and i have a home in the states but singapore isn't really the best place to have this interest. I return to the states on sunday/tomorrow singapore time, to Bellingham, Washington were I'm afraid there is almost no JDM scene.

What do you recommend that I do to learn as much as possible about JDM/Mechanics/Tuning?
I've been thinking about buying maybe a broken d15 or something just to mess around with.

thanks.

I have a feeling I will be using that "let me google that for you" thing quite a bit

- Fri Jun 03, 2011 2:16 pm #257956 I'd read up on a lot of forums and people's builds to see what they put into their cars. Find some local cruise ins or car shows in your town and check out some well built civics in person

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

- Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:07 pm #257958 the best way to learn anything is: get your hands dirty



you can read all you want, but until you are forced to learn something physically.. it just isn't the same.

if you want an eg civic. i suggest start saving now and find a solid base. after you've got that, do you! and don't let others make decisions for you.

welcome buddy! (and i'd edit that intro with something more personal)

- Tue Jun 21, 2011 1:17 am #260156 Same, but I just cant wait until i actually get a car.

- Tue Jun 21, 2011 3:31 am #260175 once you actually get the car everything will finally make sense. you will be able to see, feel, touch, and do all of the things that you have been reading up on. it totally changes the whole game. and once you do get those Honda keys, the bug will bite you 10x harder than now!!
