Default What's the BEST shop manual for the beginner ?

Yo peeps
what would be the best do-it yourself manual for a 97 Accord ?

I bought a Haynes.. but it seems to lack detail and step by step procedures not to mention good pics...

I'm partial to Honda factory manuals.

Is the Helms manual the same as the factory service manual?

Well,,

I still have the factory service man for 97 Accords that Helsm sells. It is still in the shrink wrap from Helms.

You can buy my copy for $50 + shipping to wherever u r or you can go to Helms. Manchester motorsports also sells them and I believe that they charge less than Helms. Helsm is $62. Shipping is $6. You shell out $68.

You can also try Chiltons but imo they are not even as complete as Haynes. Besides,, they take lot of thier illustrations from Helms.


Helms has very complete schematics but not very instructive text. Haynes is better and having both the Haynes and the Helms has helped me out a lot.

BTY,,, what are you trying to do to your Accord??
