You mean like repair manuals? Helms Inc makes nice one, kinda pricy though. It doesnt really explain how things work, since it assumes you know how the car works already. It does provide troubleshooting and specs however. A good compliment to the Helms manuals would be a Chilton or Haynes publication if you could find one. I did a google and wasnt able to find one that covered our generation...

Check out Civic Duty at Amazon.com. It's a book on modifying Hondas. The guy that wrote it founded several magazines that are popular today. The book covers up to 6th gen but the general ideas are awesome and can be applied to 7th gen.

Yes Civic Duty is a very informative book about almost every upgradeable part of the car. Although the 7th gen is not mentioned like it was said earlier, many of the ideas can be carried over to the 7th gen if not any car.

Another good book is How to Build Honda Horsepower. This book covers hondas and acuras and has ALOT of dyno charts, so you can see which part is the best for which car. They also mention a supercharged del sol running 26 psi i believe.
