Not for the JDM crowd,

This review is from: Civic Duty: The Ultimate Guide to the World's Most Popular Sport Compact Car the Honda Civic (Honda) (Paperback)
Quite an interesting read, and alot of bolt on performance reviews, which is very useful, but subtlety is not the order of the day. You will find alot of information about hydraulic suspension, custom graphics, and Fast & Furious style bodykits. As said before, definitely not for the JDM crowd.

Great for beginners,
By J. Ustica - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Civic Duty: The Ultimate Guide to the World's Most Popular Sport Compact Car the Honda Civic (Honda) (Paperback)
This book is excellent if you are just starting out with a Civic/CRX. The author suggests the smart ways to go about upgrading your car, not just sinking money into parts you won't need later. He covers every major topic, from bolt-on performance to interior and exterior styling, and is thankfully not biased either way.The author does make a few comments which are 100% false, for instance, about limited slip differentials which he says "are not available as an aftermarket performance product, therefore your only option is to locate a factory unit..." WRONG, Quaife has been making LSD's for Civics for years. This is just one example of the author making off the wall statements even novices know are false. He is also extremely biased towards the B18 series of engines, giving the workhorse B16A (which is much more suited to Civic/CRX's) a passing mention. Even the H22 prelude motor, which is totally unsuitable for Civics unless you want a drag-only car, gets more mention than the B16A. For beginners, this book is great. It's a good introduction to the Honda world, and presents logical, money saving methods and advice for modifying your Honda. Don't take everything written as 100% gospel though. 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful:

Pretty good actually,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Civic Duty: The Ultimate Guide to the World's Most Popular Sport Compact Car the Honda Civic (Honda) (Paperback)
This book would help you to get to know your honda civic engine even more. Good book for beginners. It would tell you which mods are worth buying or not and what kind of power to expect. It tells you what kind of HP gains you can expect from your engine when modified from "don't even bother" to "mild" to the "best". The only thing I think it didn't cover is the auto tranny which some has... it mostly concentrated on the D16Z6 SOHC and B16A DOHC Si engines and manual tranny. All in all get this book if you wanna learn more about civics and it would help you get on the right track.

Front to Back,
By Jax - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Civic Duty: The Ultimate Guide to the World's Most Popular Sport Compact Car the Honda Civic (Honda) (Paperback)
This Book is Great. Even though it is focused on the Civic, CRX, and del Sol; this book is great for any Import Fan. It covers all aspects of the car from wheels & tires to customized interiors. I bought the book and read it from cover to cover in two days. This book also explains a lot of the Bolt-on parts that are available for many cars. And how they work and how to tell if they will really do what they say they will. I recomend this book for any one who is into the import scene. From strip to street this book covers it all.
