I think most differences are very minor. They have been out of stock for 89 Manuals for as long as I have looked. They have 91s in stock. Should I get that?

i suppose its for a 4th gen hatch. If so i would say go for it. after the 4th gens do go from 1989 to 1991. So they are all the same besides things like auto tranny & manual tranny etc...

I e-mailed Helms like 2 months ago looking for them to send me one and they said they would tell me. I guess just e-mailing them a lot will make them make a new batch.

i say we try and get a list of people who would buy them, then email helms and let them know we have X amount of buyers interested. maybe that will motivate them some?

so who else would by an 88-89 helms manual?

I need an 88.
Would the 88 helms be identical to the 89 even if there are differences in the two cars.

wiz,

ehh, after what tortex said, i think you might be out of luck.

one thing i do know is that 88 and 89 have wiring more similiar than to a 90 or 91...

CrxSi707,

i'm not sure we would get a discount if we ordered enough. hell, its hard getting just a few people who want the manual.

as for helms' website, its http://www.helminc.com.

I am interested in the Electrical Manual for an 88 CRX. I thought Helms still makes them....

And yes 88s are different, slightly.
