which manual for the integra should i get? like the helms? or what?

 

I went with Haynes...it's pretty all inclusive, and has some helpful pics too

 

FACTORY ALL THE WAY. With my previous car ('91 Talon TSi AWD) I found as much as a 15 ft/lb difference in torque spec range between the factory manuals and haynes/chilton guides. The Haynes and chilton guides may be helpful in some procedures, but the factory manuals get my vote hands down

 

huh?? what do you mean factory mauals? 15 lb tq diff?? wha??? i don't get it.

 

yes I agree...factory service manual...you have to order it...car/year specific. Mine was cheap ~$80.

 

oh ic. where do i order i from?? is there anywhere i can get it for cheaper thant the dealership??

 

well its a factory service manual. So I would start looking @ the dealership. But I don't think they sell it. They have a order form and you buying directly from Acura.

 

Helms manual... http://www.helminc.com it was about $68 shipped for my 95

 

Chilton =

Its comprehensive and inexpensive, and applies to all models for both coupe and sedan.

 

I bought the factory ECM and Service Manual for my Integra thru a friend that worked @ a dealership. It ended up costing me about $140 for the pair.

But damn do they rule!

 

only problem with a factory service manual is that it was intended to be written for a trained honda/acura technician while a haynes or chilton is for a weekend mechanic WITH illustrations and photos.

 

I agree...but sometimes I think of myself as smarter then the average bear....and I have 3 master techs for friends...hehe
