Re: learning
Chiltons or Haynes should do the trick, but they don't tell you anything about tuning.

Re: learning
Every body had to start some where, read, learn, think, watch other people work on car. practice work on your car, try and error

Re: learning
There is TONS of information on the internet. If you are not sure about something more than likely you will be able to look it up on one of the many eclipse websites. You can learn alot from reading, but you also have to do some physical work. You will be surprised at how fast you will pick up stuff.

Re: learning
Well there needs to be some limitations with that theory. Trial and error is good on basics things like, putting on an intake, changing breaks, stuff like that. I wouldn't recomend trying to rebuild your motor or something.

Re: learning
Exhaust isin't really that hard. but the bolts may be rusted really bad, so it might be easier to just cut it off. well you might have to use the stock flange if its cat-back. Try it and see. Whats the worst that could happen? You have to drive it to a muffler shop with no exhaust.
