Want to learn everything about a car in one shot (well, not really, but mostly!)?

Build one from scratch, or look at how it's built from scratch. I've started on my Locost (a scratch built lotus 7 replica), it's a long term project, but you can learn A LOT from the forums/book/ combination of both without actually building one. It'll show you how your car works on the most basic level. Once this understanding is in place you can fearlessly say, "yes, I want to make a mid-engined dual wishbone suspension honda civic" And mean it even.

A lot of the guy on their only have a BASIC buzz box welder (i.e. cheap) and some harbor freight cutting/grinding tools and have made it happen. But even if you don't want to build a car from scratch, the ideas developed here can aid any "homebrew" car modder (i.e. broke).
