Matt,
Try to buy a copy of the book mentioned below on ebay or do a google
search for the URL of the largest bookstore in your city.

Title: "Honda and Acura Performance Handbook"
author: Mike Anas
My copy was published by Motorbooks International
www.motorbooks.com
catalog: 1-800-826-6600
My copy was published in 1999
If it is "out of print"--ebay would be your best source.
also try:
importautosalvage.com (for parts)
You can buy used parts at most car junk yards--many of the them are on a
database which means they can buy parts for you from other junk yards.
