Helms manual.

[Arachnid]

This is by far one of the best shop manuals out there that you can get. Most if not all your newbie tech answers can be found in this here book. So take your time Mr. DIY, get the book and read a little bit. You'll find things you've never known that your car even had.

Some things covered are: engine, torque specs, lubrication, cooling, heating, anything and everything you can think of besides painting!!! So get this damn book to make your life easier and quit asking those newbie questions that's already been answered a dozen times before.

I couldn't agree more! It's the best $60 you can spend on your car.

I like mine free, from the dealer.

Helps to know a Honda Tech that drives/races a VW.

Except for when the binding comes loose, and you no longer have pages anymore

Helms on CD=The Win!

I am looking on the Helms website to order this book, but I want to make sure I get the right volume. Is everyone using the "service manual"? There is also a "service manual supplement" which has the same description. Which do I need to get? I'm looking for mostly drivetrain help.

or when your bitch-ass dog chews a couple pages out of it - hope I don't need that info!!

i really like both the helms and the haynes manuals. both have extensive information, and are well-written. either of these are a must for anybody whose a DIY, or even just wants to know a little more about their car.

[save a civic]

helms also has an "electrial service manual" for civics that is super sweet to have for those of you who (and me) who suck at wiring. it was $30 if i rememer right and it is year specific! worth it!

best 60 bucks spent.....love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vtecnitrocrx]

where did you get one for sixty?

[92SIvic]

i have both the Halms and the Honda manual. and i personally like the honda manual over the helms... just my oppinion tho..

[eg6hatch315]

Is the helms that much better then the Haynes? The Haynes I have isnt that bad, should I buy the Helm?

[fireant]

Let's put it this way. The guys at Haynes more than likely used Helms as thier primary reference.

Helms is the Honda Factory Service Manual that is used at the dealership.

So its THAT in depth, hrmmm I might have to pick up one of em. Quite pricey tho :neutral:

[fireant]

All I can say is dont buy one yet...unless you cannot wait till the end of February. I'm working on an online version of the manual that will be unlike any other available.

[Noeladams]

I have the chilton manual for my car ( never use it )

I normally use the Mitchell On Demand Software. I always thought chilton manuals were the stuff until recently. lol.

[Rayden]

My Helms arrived last week. WOW. . .A must have for a newb like me. Nicely put together. Flipped to the auto-tranny section and instantly got confused for a second :tool: I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have one. Also, much different to have it there--ALREADY on paper w/no need to print it out. I would gather that was a chunk of the price although the info is priceless.

[fireant]

Be sure to keep an eye on Ebay for used Helms manuals.

[makku]

i'm tempted to use the printers at work to print out my EG and EK helms manuals on pdf. :)

[fireant]

Not yet. :P

[makku]
