Default ebay + helms manuals for civics + CRAP!

I can't find one single Helms manual on ebay. They are all on cd. Probably some kid that just copied his collection or something. If i wanted one I would just ask for one from here. Anyone know where to find one? Amazon.com isn't helping much either.

yeah it looked at that. I don't want to spend $63 for a new one. I'm looking for a cheap used one.

Kragen or AutoZone don't sell Helms - so don't go there.

lol no. The ones at Autozone are HAYNES. They suck. they tell you the basics, but the Helms are definatly worth the $$. Every damn penny. Spend the damn $63 and order one.

You know those manuals are hosted on the net? I know of such places if you guys need them. But they cannot be posted for everyone to see as per the HT TOS.

I said the hell with it and just went to the library. I Checked out the Chiltons manual. it was the best they had. It looks as used as a $2 hooker too, lol.

If inaccurate info is your thing, then stick with it. I caught a glimpse of a Chiltons 94-00 Integra manual just recently.

Just for starters, in the wiring diagrams, they have 94-96 grouped together. On top of that, they show this same group as having the O2 heater being supplied +12v with the ECU controlling the ground side which isn't the case.

94-95 actually had the ECU switch +12v to the O2 heater and not ground. So, if something so blatant as that is wrong, I can't imagine what else they may have overlooked - like torque specs maybe.

You've already been offered some 'help' in getting the real-deal info...
