Hey.

Do any of you 5th & 6th gen owners know if there is a helms manual for the 98 EX online somwhere? I just got my D16Y8, and I'm starting to rebuild it and get it all cleaned up and prepped, but a helms manual would definitely come in handy...

why not just post this in the 4th gen forum, i think youd get better response there. why not just buy a helms manual, its alot easier cause you can have it out there while you are working on your car instead of always coming into the house to look up torque numbers

i would just buy 1..
you'll thank urself in the long run!!

And anyways, after he finds what he needs, he can print it out and take it out while he's working on his car.

i know u don't:)
i'm talkin ci5

Yes, I know I can just buy one, but if I can find one online for free then why bother? I can just print it out at work...

The reason I didn't post this in the 4th gen forum is because the D16Y8 is NOT a 4th gen engine, so if anyone knows of an online helms, I figured this forum would be the best place to start (cuz you know that if I posted this in the 4g forum, they'd be like "why didn't you post this in the 92+ forum?!"). :rolleyes:

Haynes and Chilton are mad lame...

It's nice to have the actual bound book, and its not over $100, its only $60 or $70.

$70 is a lot of money for a fucking book that can be had for free. Dont try to tell me if there were two gas stations right next to each other, and one was cheaper, that you wouldnt go to the cheaper one. Pleeeeeeaassse :rolleyes: :finger:

If you can afford to buy an engine, and you plan on doing any work on it, you must have one! I've never seen a Helm's manual online, probably because they are over 1000 pages.

$60 > not knowing how to do any work on your engine

actually, there IS a 88-91 CRX haynes manual you can access or download for FREE online.

mike, i haven't seen the y8 one. but if you do happen to find it, please let me know. i would love to have it :D

i found a mint condition haynes for $5 at a yard sale. he should have paid me $5! there is some good info but, there more "check your manual" remarks. if i had the damn manual...then why would i be reading your book?

:thinkerg: maybe i should make a book...call it Ami's...and charge $20 a book! it will be cheaper and packed full of great "check your manuls" for less! :evillaugh

Hell I wouldn't. I got my gas at gettys and it felt like absolute shit. And then I tried getting it at shell and fell in love with it. Same octane but 4 cent different and hey I'll pay that extra 4 cents for that better gas and whatever cleaner they add in there.

what is the difference. just buy something so you'll have some kind of reference when you're out there doing your thang. i have a haynes and it works fine. please let me know if there is a big difference...then i'll go buy one!

the difference is that this post is 2.5 YEARS old and no one really gives a shit anymore. Plus you can find .pdf files of pretty much every Helms manual online now, for free.

plus the guy has already done the swap (i think)

holy fuck, look who it is. You didn't happen to get an email about this post did you lol.

I was looking at the site and was wondering how you know which manual to get. What's the difference between a shop and service manual? Is the shop manual more involved with more detail? I see the shop manual for 96-99 is sold out so I would guess that is more likely the one to get.

Krs

holy fuck, look who it is. You didn't happen to get an email about this post did you lol.

yea i just happened to get one :iceslolan
