Anyone have a link to a helms pdf for a 96-00 Civic?
I know there was a thread about it a while ago but I can't seem to find it.

i just download it on PFD, then print the pages you will need anytime you are going to do a job. 80 mb was worth it on 56K, better than actually spending $$ on somthing you can get for FREE!

I oughta look into the Helms. I have a Haynes and it helps a little, but I have a feeling helms would be even better.

I have both. Haynes has a good troubleshooting section in the front, but Helms is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better with the diagrams, and torque specs attached to every nut and bolt. Haynes makes you flip back to the beginning of the section. Plus the pics in Haynes are pretty shitty. Helms shows you how to take apart and assemble. Haynes gives you black and white pics, and uses a vocabulary that, unless you already know what you're doing, can be pretty hard to figure out. Besides that, I'm not really a fan of Haynes' black and white pics. Get a Helms immeadiately!!
