I was thinking of purchasing a Helms repair manual that everyone talks about. I currently have a Chilton which I do not really like because it covers the Integra, Legend and Vigor. It almost seems to vauge and I don't like the way you have to look at the many different illustrations to get to the specific one. There are no trouble shooting areas either. Is the Helms really better? Are they year and model specific? Any help would be nice. Also, is that what the dealer uses?

Helm is what the dealers use. It is the real deal. It is published by Honda Motor Co. and printed by Helm.

The manuals are year and model specific, so you have to buy the right one. IN other words, if you have a Coupe, it will cover all L and LS Coupes for that specific year. If you have a Sedan, it will cover all L, LS and if 94 or 95 year Helm is purchased, the GS as well.

When you go to the helm site, DO NOT click on the Acura link on the right side of the page. That is for dealers. Instead, click on the repair information link on the left side of the page.

Thanks for the info. I searched the forum fot Helms and it seems as if it is the gospel according to other members. Guess I will invest in one.
