Need a good repair manual

I need to find a good repair manual for my del Sol. Any suggestions? I have found a couple, but I am not sure which is the best. Thanks for the help.

Is that all that is out there? I went to Amazon.com to get some reviews on both and everyone said that Chilton is crap but it is better than Hayes. Have you used either? I would like to hear from someone who has either to know how good they are. That way I can figure out if the people who left bad reviews just don't know jack about cars or if the manuals are just crap. Thanks, man.

Forget about Chilton and Haynes. Get a helms manual, I think everything for the del sol is covered in the 92-95 Civic helms manual. You should be able to order one from the honda dealer. It rocks.

Yes, the helms manuals are like bibles for Hondas. I would ask your nearest honda dealer about them. They are the dealer service manuals. They'll run you about 50$ but worth every penny if you are a do it yourselfer.

Wow, that's a lot more than I was planning to spend. But, as long as it is worth it. Thanks man, I will be calling my Honda dealer tomorrow. Thanks a lot.
