How did everyone learn how to work on cars?

by breaking stuff.

seriously, a civic/integra is literally the '57 chevy of our generation, with the b series being our small block. im not trying to knock ford or chevy, as i have owned an SVO mustang and five liter mustang, as well as a turbo 3.8 and an LT1. its just a sign of the times. in the early 90’s when the import scene blew up, the B series was king, and that still holds true in certain circles.

buy yourself a short ram intake on ebay for $50. install it all by yourself, and that feeling of accomplishment, mixed with the sound and butt dyno, will give you the the itch to do something else. if not, well you only spent $50, and you now have an air filter which you never have to replace, and your car runs better and gets better mpg
