It depends on the brand and model. In the US, Haynes writes the manuals for Acuras, so they are highly detailed. But for other brands like Holden, they are "reverse engineered" from a donor car.

BTW, have you seen this? http://hondatech.info/downloads/Auto/Manuals/Integra/

The amount of detail you need will depend on what you want to do really.

You can get the haynes books from repcos and some supercheap autos. With any luck if you go there there will be an open one for you to look at. Most of them come sealed.
