Go with a Helms manual, they are by far the best.

93 DX should have rear drum brakes which can be a tad tricky if you are new to things. But best bet is to get a Helms.

if you look around you can find places to download the manual.

Dont waste your money on HAYNE's. Helms is far more useful, it written by the factory for the love of all things holy get the Helms.
The link is http://www.helminc.com/

Helms &gt; Haynes &gt; chiltons
at least that's how it is for me.
******* chiltons covers like 30 different cars. The haynes focuses just on b or d series civics and sols from a much smaller year range. Hell the chiltons had carbuerated CRXs with drum brakes and ****. Not like it's all that hard to sift through it, i just feel better about the haynes.

I keep a helms at home and a chiltons/haynes in the car.


BTW Haynes and Chiltons books are published by the same company.

Good point, i noticed some of the pics in my chiltons book said "haynes" underneath. I just like the detail to specific vehicles/engines better with the haynes *shrug*
