Is there A Chiltons Manual for our car?

Tried searching the bookstore, but I can't find it anywhere, not sure if they make it.

No, the only manual for the TLs is the Helms manual, which is the Acura Service manual for our cars.

Is there anywhere cheaper to get the Helms Manual besides their site?

Its $69.00 (about $80.00 with shipping) from www.helminc.com

Anyone know any cheaper places?

Try Ebay. Sometimes people sell them.

nah man dont say its the ONLY one unless you are 100% sure:



picked it up @ Kragen's for about $19

used it for my springs install... has diagrams w/ torque specs and stuff. im glad i got it!

and yeah, it says its for up to 00 but im sure the specs would be the same for 01-03 too (except maybe for some minor parts in the 02-03 due to new frontend)

if anyone wants pics of pages inside, just holla.

Theres no way it can cover TL-S' though as the motor had not come out until 02, so it leaves out a major number of TLs on the forum, and possible vital information you may need, especially if he has a TL-S.

yeah for the motor it would be totally different. but what i meant by similar/same are the torque specs and construction of basically everything else.

pages are spread all over the book since its divded into different parts of the car (engine, suspension, electrical, etc) and it tells/shows you diagrams & specs for each car.

Seeing as how I traded in my 03' TL for an 05', I could entertain selling my Helms manual if somebody wanted it. I could probably just mail it via COD (pretty simple), so I'd gladly part with it for $40. (I'll take care of the shipping, which is $12 via USPS Priority Mail)

If I'm not supposed to "hock my warez" here, than I apologize to the mods. (I figured it was related to the thread, and my helms manual (99-03') is collecting dust on my shelf )
