I need some Factory Service Manuals.
From Helm's sight, I need the 2005 Accord, the V6 Supplement, and also one for my new Pilot.
Any place cheaper? Some of the parts places are more than direct from Helms.

If you can afford three '05 models, you can cough up a couple hundred for the FSM's. 
I got my 98-02 Accord one for $70.
I guess you can check on ebay and see if you get lucky.

I really wouldn't worry about it now...there's nothing in those service manuals that will help you (aside from general information) until your first major maintenance. I assume you can do your own oil changes and the such. You should have gotten a service schedule from your dealer that details what maintenance is due at each interval.
But no, get Helms or nothing.

They do come in handy. I rarely take my cars to the dealer unless it's warranty work. If nothing else, it's just darn good readn! On Helm's site they have a CD-ROM version listed, but not available yet. I'd rather have that. Print what you are working on, get it al greasy, then toss it in the can.
