I'm always looking to learn new things and expand my knowledge to do more bigger and better things. I was wondering what do you guys recommend I do or buy to get started on working on my own car? I plan on working on my Z myself or able to do my self at least. I'm coming up on my 3,000 mile mark and going to perform my first oil change. I'm always a custom to taking it to the dealer and paying them, but thats going to change now. I only intend on taking my baby over there for major maintenances.

I have a roomy who is very mechanically inclined so im sure ill have his help and guidance in all the things I do. The DIY's that are on the forum dont seem to hard at all so when I get my Intake and exhaust, I plan on attempting to install it my self.

What do you guys think? Is there anyone in the same boat as me? Who has come from not even doing your own oil changes to being able to swap out parts and work on your own car?
