Finally got my car...

After 2 years of stress and trying to convince my dad to pay for some % of the car, as of April 4th/2002 I was the owner of a 1997 Honda Prelude (Auto). Pics will be uploaded when time permits (finals creeping up).

Now, I am a complete newbie when it comes to cars. I was wondering if you guys could give me any resources on the web or guide me to books and such so I could start learning about cars (how they work, etc..). I really want to start modding the heck out of it but my newbieness will probably get me jipped somewhere :( So I gotta start learning somewhere!

As for modding, which parts would you guys mod first performance-wise? Intake, Exhaust, etc? Also how much boost in HP would you approx get from modding certain parts of your car?

I again apologize for my newbieness but please try to answer
