Tweaked Hondas
In just the last few years, several books dedicated to Honda performance have hit the market , the latest of which is "Civic Duty: The Ultimate Guide to the World"s Most Popular Sport Compact Car -- the Honda Civic." Written by Alan Paradise and released through Bentley Publishers (www.bentleypublishers.com) this 167-page book covers most aspects of Civic performance: suspension, brakes, bolt-on mods, forced-induction power, transaxles, suspension, internal engine work, driving basics and so on.

As one might expect, this book concentrates more on the late-model, 1988-up Civic, CRX and del Sol, although some of the basics should transfer to other Honda models and even other brands of cars. "Civic Duty: The Ultimate Guide to the World"s Most Popular Sport Compact Car -- the Honda Civic" carries a cover price of $24.95, and is available through normal chains or directly from Bentley Publishers (phone 800-423-4595, www.bentleypublishers.com).
