Does anybody have one for a 4th gen prelude on pdf? it would be useful. ive hit up all the automotive stores and barnes and noble and no luck

 

OR you could just buy a helms manual (which is the shop manual)

haynes / chilton is utter crap compared to a helms manual.

if you really want to do it right, don't gripe about the price of a helms. its invaluable

 

well i have a Prelude service manual, is the helms more detailed??? and how much is it? is it only for preludes? like a haynes or just in general

 

I second that. I think I paid $50 or $60 for mine but the detail is awesome. You won't be sorry

I have that on pdf

 

Haynes/Chilton is the same company and those manuals are garbage. Buy a Helms shop manual for your year Prelude.

If you have that on pdf then why are you looking for the haynes/chiltons?

 

The helms is better than both by far and you shouldn't have to pay for it....

ok.......

just thank the wonderful internet for providing you very useful information for free.

i have the pdf too but it sucks so much more than actually flipping thru the actual book

 

I didn't even know Haynes/Chilton made one for the 4thGen/5thGen Prelude... Never seen one before..

Yeah, the Helms is the same as the Honda Shop/Tech Manual, thanks to Hawke for clarifying to me.

^^Correct... Unless you want it on Paper, you shouldn't have to pay for it.
Then, I'd buy it from helms rather than printing the PDF document..

 

Haynes are not that bad because they have good pics, if you have to got one of those I would say haynes.

 

Why is the one on ebay crap? whats so bad about it?

Because working from a book is much easier than looking things up from the PDF's on a computer.

Helms is best
Haynes is decent
Chilton is worthless
I've had all three

 

lol cmon its the 21st century who needs a book use ur laptop

i don't think you want an oily laptop like i had when i used it....

while the sides and some pages have oily fingerprints all over them, its so much easier to work with a book and not a laptop

 

I just print out what I need and bring it out

 

yeah it sucks finding pages on the pdf format, but i have both. i have the helms and the haynes....i never use the haynes. helms ftw

 

i meant i have the honda prelude shop manual, should is till look into getting a helms? if you guys want the shop manual on pdf just pm me

 

those are junk, had both before i bought a helms

I don't think you understand. The shop manual = the helms manual. It is produced by Honda, not some other third party like the Chiltons/Haynes

 

so is the ebay link on the post up top for the prelude manual made from helms.... its a black book that says Prelude down the side and honda first edition or something like that

 

That link is the actual shop manual from Honda. Its not a helms.

 

just got my helms this morning.
helms ftmfw!

just out of curiosity, how big is the helms on pdf? in terms of KB/MB?

 

37.8mb
