Hi, I am wondering how people find out technical specifications for foreign country civics or Hondas of any sort for that matter.

I've seen some old time gurus post up some very specific technical details for several different country's civics, mainly the 5th gen ones as that's the one I'm always reading up on.

I have not been able to find a user friendly source of this kind of information.

What is or was the trick to become such an expert on an era car?
