Take your first pay check, buy the previously suggested Helm's manual for $60, and then contact our new tool sponsor about getting a torque wrench, basic socket set (metric), and box wrenches. Preludeonline members get 20% off. Best money you wil ever spend on your car.

It never fails that people are BLOWN AWAY when their Helms manual arrives at their door. If you want to do more invasive work than oil changes and changing fuses, I'd say it's pretty much a necessity.

i have a full set of craftsman sockets, wrenches, screw drivers, torque wrench, etc......what other tools do i need? I AM getting a helms, i have a chilton's right now - parents got it instead of a helms because it was cheaper - and i have come to the conclusion that it is almost useless. After the helms, then what?

I run about the same as most USDM H22 powered Preludes out here. JDM H22s on the other hand...

Then they obviously are lacking on the driving skills or need a tune-up. Lets not start this arguement. Everyone pretty much knows the times for the stock cars and the S is NOT .3-.4 behind the VTEC.
