Hello!
I'm not very new to the car scene and know how some stuff works under the hood and how to replace things but I want to know more on how to fix/replace things other than tune ups, brake changes, etc.
I currently own a 1997 Honda Accord LX with a 2.2L VTEC Engine (also in my signature).
So I guess I am still a young grasshopper wanting to learn more. Haha.

Welcome......
Looks like you have a good base (brakes, tune up)..... just know, we all started there at one point in our lives. Suggest getting a good manual for your car, this will help with most things....then we all learn "tricks" or other ways of getting things done after getting into it...
Then if you know someone willing to help you or let you help them as things are needed that is another good way of learning.....

Apologies for the late reply.
Thanks for the warm welcome and I'm from Sacramento California.
I will also be purchasing an repair manual for my car though, you guys recommend any particular publisher? Like Hayes, Chilton, etc?

Helm makes the best shop manuals.

Sometimes available on-line, check the "common diy" thread in the "general tech" section. Those downloads seem to be from UK, based on right-hand drive & smaller engines.
It's VTEC, not V-Tech. That's your first lesson about Hondas. Now YOU can laugh at the people who call it vtech (vtech makes telephones).
