Yeah, looseleaf is better for working on the car so I'm going to go to Kinkos and have the book rebound in a coil form.. the way it is now it's split down the middle and a page or two are falling out. Having it in a coil book form should keep the pages from falling out like they would in a 3 hole binder.
Jewbacca- Yep, get the service manual (the electrical manual is nice too but for major repair the service manual is fine, and has decent enough wiring diagrams.., I'm still gonna get the wiring book as well to complete my set )
Just make sure you get one from the dealer locally.. I got mine at Honda West on Sarcee for around $85 Canadian, way cheaper than in the States thru
www.helminc.com . I'm not certain on the price for the 96 manual however, call em!
