I'm almost done with class, so I have more time to spend on getting to know my car. do you guys know a good book on learning what's a car is made of, especially the japanese cars? A friend of mine told me that i can get like a mechanic manual for type R from the dealer, but it's very costly, coz it's like the secret of the dealer mechanics or something.
there's a book from autozone on repairing integra, but that's not really what i'm looking for. I want something that explains what each part in the car does etc.

thanks

Here's a start...
http://www.howstuffworks.com

You could also purchase a "dealer mechanic's secret book" from http://www.helminc.com

 

I don't think there is a good replacement for the Helms "Shop" Manual.....

 

Helm's all the way!
It's the Dealers choice!

 

If you want to know extreme detail, then get a Helms manual. It is the "Bible" for our cars.

If you want general knowledge of car function then http://www.howstuffworks.com is the greatest website out there for all general science knowledge.

I think in your previous post, other HT members sent good links for the Type R.

Or just take a run down to your local Barnes and Noble or Border Books and scan the automotive books.

 

excellent website!!

Thanks a lot

 

I have heard from another member that the dealer manual is better than the Helm's manual?!
I would like to get the best one, anyone else have an opinion on this?

Thanks!

 

The dealers manual is a Helms Manual. Thank SackDZ foir clearing that up for me

The only thing that makes a helm manual better is tabs for the stuff you do alot...it's worth every penny of the ~60 bucks it costs, the most important tool in the garage

 

site is freaking awesome! thank you....
