Default DIY Guides

Hi everyone. I was wondering if there might be some website or book that has a collection of instructions for working on a C5Z. Specific things like how to remove panels and the like.

I'm fairly good at working with my hands but I haven't had a car worth working on until I got the Z. I would want to know what tools I would need and just a step by step for certain jobs like pulling the shift fork or changing springs. I'm not afraid to work on my car as long as I have some sort of reference to look at.

Thanks for the help guys!
