I have a 93 5.0 Mustang GT convertible, which is my dream car. I want to make a number of mods to it, as it is a stock car now, but I know next to nothing about cars. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I can learn quickly so I don't get 'had' when I get work done on it? Any books, mags, online info?

Thanks!

The best way to learn is to take automotive night classes at the local community college.

easy bolt ons..... alum driveshaft (four bolts). intake tube & filter. (maybe an hour). drag radials.(depending on how much driving you do on the street) and chip. if your not sure about something come here! im here everyday learning new stuff. as far asmagazines go, their are a couple you could pick up at you local grocery store.

You can also pick up a service manual specific to your car and do some maintenance work. That is how I started, I quickly became very interested. Later on I begged my parents to pay for me to take classes at night to learn more which was extremely invaluable.

Of course I know a lot of guys that self taught themselves everything and they're probably better mechanics than most people who work on cars for a living.

pick up a haynes manual and read it front to back even the spark plug chart on the back inside cover then pick up a summit catalog and read that front to back then come on here and read all the posts you can till you cant read anymore oh yeah make sure you catch hourse power tv muscle car trucks and extreame 4x4 on spike tv sat and sun mornings then you might be able to hold conversation with someone who knows what there talking about
