Great Resource

You can't go wrong getting this manual as a reference whether you intend to do work on your car yourself or just want to know where and what stuff is. I have performed many maintenance tasks on my '89 Civic Wagon 4WD with assistance from this manual such as: drive axle replacement, valve timing adjustment, front and rear brake overhaul, master cylinder replacement, muffler replacement and the list goes on. There are many supplemental topics covered as well regarding general auto maintenance. The weaknesses I found were it covers stuff no one in their right mind will do such as overhaul CV joints. Everyone just buys axles and does a core exchange leaving that to the pros. I needed more photos and better description of the axle removal as well - I searched on the internet and found an excellent photo guide someone did for that. I also supplemented this with the official Honda manual which was supplied with the car but that guide is obtuse and does not have photos, only drawings where the Haynes is down and dirty with real life tear down photos. I highly recommend this if you are actually doing work - even if not, you can use it to learn more about the repair jobs that might be needed so when you speak to mechanics you are better informed about what they will do - or what they say they are going to do.

really helpful

this is a very helpful book. lives up to its promise of taking apart the honda civic completely. gives you the confidence and assurance of dealing with the problems of your high mileage honda civic. the book is very well organied too and supported by a very helpful collection of photographs.

Definitive repair guide for Honda Civic

This book is well-structured by system (e.g., fuel and exhaust, engine electrical) and features thousands of actual black and white photos from the cars as well as thousands of diagrams. I found the book invaluable when I owned a 1991 Honda Civic CRX; a must-have for Civic owners.
