Smile Help understanding Wrx engines

Hi all, might be a bit of a wierd question or request or what ever but here's my dilemma, i want to be able to do things to my car myself and play around with it without the worry of what the heck am I doing! So m question is, is anyone out there who is possibly in the process of fixing a Wrx up or rebuilding an engine or sonething who has the time and patience to maybe have me tag along and watch what your doing and possibly teach me things as your going along eg. That's the intake and this is what that does to affect this to do that to that part over there..
I'd just like to make myself a bit more knowledgable when it comes to cars haha thanks all!

Your best bet is probably to look out for people who are doing different jobs and asking for people to come give a hand. We did the headers and exhaust on my car on Sat arvo/evening and you would've been welcome to have a look at what we were doing and figured out what the different parts were.

Suck up to people who are posting build threads

Also add the following websites to your list:

Subaru Impreza WRX STI Forums: IWSTI.com
North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club

Both have fantastic DIY threads you can learn from 'obviously going to be hard to go give them a hand '.
