Hi im new here and just moved here to cali from vancouver. I am getting 08 eclipse gs (6 spd stick) in about 1 month and i was wondering, since this is my first time working on a car, well not really. I've only worked with the exterior stuff and not the parts under the hood. The things is, i dont really know much about the mechanical stuff under the hood. Do you know where i can learn some of this stuff?

If i was to work on this would it be a good idea to start on the engine first before i work on the body?
