I'm interested in tuning cars and stuff. I've been psyched about cars since i was little but now that i'm older and see that there are a lot more parts i've found that i don't know jack. So if you know a website or forum or information about aftermarket car parts i'd be glad to hear thanks

There are all kinds of websites for the backyard mechanic. Most are make-specific such as Ford, Mopar, Mazda, etc.
Buy a Chilton's or Haynes manual for your car. Or go to the library and check one out. They are fascinating books and will show you how to work on just about everything on your vehicle.
If you chose to buy one, ebay has got some steals on them. Or got to your local auto parts store --they are about $20.00

Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual. It'll tell you what to do and when to do it. You don't say if you're the original owner of the car or not. If you are, you know what services have been done. If not, take it to the local dealer and let them recommend what services need to be done. Talk to them. Find out what's due and how much it will cost. Service writers (or service advisors) are a great resource for keeping your car in tip-top shape.

Find a website online that caters to your type of car. Pretty much every car ever made will have a following that has set up a forum online. I use www.solsociety.com for my delSol and www.e46fanatics.com for my e46 BMW. Just search the make and model of your car with "forum" in the title and you will find plenty. The people on these sites are car nerds and no matter what you want to do there will be someone who has done it already and can give you valuable insight.

Forget it, cars are now computerised and you need special (and expensive) equipment to work on them
