Whether you're replacing a broken or missing part, or if you simply need to know what's what, knowing the <FONT COLOR="red">Honda/Acura Part Number and Description</FONT> will help you get what you need... Even if knowledge is all you seek.

Keep in mind that this is "<FONT COLOR="red">Honda-Tech.com</FONT>", not "Honda-Approximation.com", and not "Honda-I-Meant-To-Say-That-Instead-Of-Some-Ambiguous-Statement.com" (those might already be taken)... Effective communication requires a common semantic base, and when we're talkin' car parts, where else should the roots be other than in the manufacturer's system?

The best thing to do is look online for parts listings for your vehicle (or a vehicle that interests you). There are several Honda Dealers that offer online catalog browsing, but I'm going to use "SLHondaParts.com" to post starter links for your model. I am doing so because I've found their website to be the easiest to use and load, and they don't require registration. <FONT COLOR="red">Again, there may be better places to actually purchase any parts you might need, even at the 'yard</FONT>. But, for the sole purpose of looking up part #s...

You can use the Pull-Down Menus to navigate to the System & Section for your car parts. At times, a part might be listed within a system that doesn't make sense to you, or is found in a section named "inappropriately". No worries. That's why Al Gore discovered Brains: so that we can all use one to try to find answers to questions we might have.

The benefits of doing your own Part Number hunting are tremendous. You'll be able to download diagrams of nearly every OEM system available (I reccommend going to HondaPartsDeals.com for Diagrams). You'll get more familiar with how your car was put together. You'll be able to see how much your Dealer/Mechanic is ripping you off for parts. Your fap rate will be mildly reduced. 10 essential Vitamins and Minerals.

But most importantly, you'll won't have to rely on the iffy advice and uncertainties that are inherent in internet message boards (yes, occasionally here @ HT), or the product descriptions of eBay sellers who just want search hits. You can rely on the iffy data contained in the OEM System instead!!!

And, <FONT COLOR="blue">if you're doing a swap of ANY type</FONT>, you can just navigate to the parts list/diagram for the Donor Vehicle, and use it to REALLY find out "which parts are different" (which is different than asking "which parts can I swap")!!!

I HOPE THIS HELPS...
