... the Helm manual. Bar none. The wealth of knowledge in that manual is absofvckinglutely staggering! Y'all with Helm manuals, you know what I mean!

And those without Helm manuals, you just do not know what you're missing...

Every ACL.com-er should own one!

someone should scan it and put the whole thing up on the web,

if i was the type to spend more than 10 dollars on any book, and had the helm thing, i would scan it for you all..no matter how much work was involved.

Not to mention it’s over 2,200 pages in content.
I’ve been bored before, but I’ve never been THAT bored.

And YES, two thumbs UP for the HELM manual.

The Helm manual is an absolute must for those who want to do more than minor modifications to their car. Some of the things that I find very helpful from the manuals are:

1.Step by step instructions on how to assemble and disassemble parts.
2.A description of every single electrical wire in the car.

What is missing that I thought should have been included are:

1.OEM part numbers

We need to talk to Wayne from PAA, and bribe him to get us a copy of the Electronic Parts Catalog (not sure of the legalities behind that though. But if any of you are friends with an Honda/Acura parts dept person, I'm sure you could get your hands on it.)

The Toyota one I have is just plain awesome. No need to try to describe the part I'm looking for to some schmoe behind the parts counter. I just look up the parts I need beforehand in the EPC and then hand him the part #s I'm looking for. Only thing I'm missing is a price list, but I can just look up prices at a few online sites...
