Just curious to know.

Civic Duty
The Ultimate Guide to the World's Most Popular Sport Compact Car - the Honda Civic


-The Honda Civic—it's been called the '55 Chevy of the 90s and recognized as the leader of the import sport compact car phenomena that is sweeping the country. If you dream of owning a tricked out Honda or already have a Honda Civic, CR-X, or del Sol and want to make it fly or just look like it can, this book is for you!

-Civic Duty covers Honda Civic modification from the mechanical to the artistic with chapters on:

-Suspension modifications for street, strip, or track—springs, shocks, bushings, anti-roll bars, strut tower bars, wheels and tires.
-Bolt-on performance—air induction systems, cam timing and overdrive pulleys, headers, exhaust systems, ignition, and ECU technology.
-Hard core engine modification—complete engine swap information that tells you which are the best and easiest swaps and which are the ones to avoid, pistons, head work, cams, engine building tricks, supercharging vs. turbocharging, and nitrous.
-Getting the power to the pavement—clutches and flywheels, differential, and shifters.
-Braking—pads, rotors, and discs all around.
-Exterior interior styling – exterior styling components (including rear deck wings) -and a chapter on exterior graphics.
-Interior design—seats, door panels, gauges, and cages.
-Performance driving—road racing and autocross, drag racing, and driving schools.
-Finding and starting a Honda club.

Most any book available in book stores isnt going to be worth while. Theyre extremely basic and anyone with a brain capable of grasping gernal concepts would get bored with them quickly. Theyre a 1-time-read.
Information contained in THAT book are things you can find here in less time, better detail, and in personal accounts.

My buddy got me one from a book store in japan town in the bay area. Theyre cool and all, but its all writen in kanji (me no read ). Also, it only features the products in the japanese market. Thats good if your some kind of JDM freak & can read kanji, but if not, its good for pictures...

side note: A lot of japanese people cant even read kanji...which is why it almost always has the kana above it, in smaller font

You can find those books at Super Autobacs, I flipped through a couple one time. It's weird reading from right to left.
