hello. i apologize if this is the wrong forum.. mods, feel free to move this if it doesn't belong here

i was just wondering if there are books out there that would tell me how to do tune-ups and such at home? i'm trying to save as much money as i can and only go to a shop if absolutely neccessary. any good books or websites or stuff like that u guys can recommend?

 

chilton's go to kragen/pep boys

 

fawk chiltons buy the helms manual from the internet. trust me even though i have no manual get the helms.

 

got a link to the helms manual?

 

http://www.helminc.com its expensive but its the best manual u can get. you can also check team-integra.net they got some good article for the newbs.

 

that helm thing looks pretty cool but is there a ONE book that can tell me most of what i need to know? or am i asking for too much?

 

bump

 

get the chilton for the basics

 

Get the Helms, it will teach you alot about your car, before i had a Helms I barely knew how to bleed brakes, now I can pretty much do everything on a Honda / Acura..

 

thanks for the advice guys. bump for one last time

 

ok.. bump ONE more time lol

 

Chalk up another one for the Helms.

 

the helms is really good. but it is written for a honda tech, so it assumes you have some basic knowedge. you might want to buy a haynes or chilton manual as well to fill in some of the gaps if you are a total newbie.

but if you plan on doing anything more than just the most basic maintenence, buy the Helms.
