If you had to teach a monkey how to be a mechanic...

R.e the torque wrench comment - I wouldn't bother when you're first starting out. If you're doing anything that requires you to take the head off or to put in new manifold studs / bolts etc then yes buy one but for changing discs / pads etc I really wouldn't bother.
 
Get a ratchet spanner with 10mm-18mm fittings, that will remove practically every nut on the Prelude. With that you will be able to change the air filter*, oil filter, engine oil, coolant*, most stuff really.

*don't require any tools

I thought that way until one day I sheared a couple of m6 bolts in an intake manifold. Those things snap ridiculously easy.
