I like that book. It's been out for awhile. I think I got about 10 years ago. Pretty informative.

An internet search showed this book not available at Barnes and Noble and only one for sale at Amazon for the LOW price of $75. Speednations site did not have any for sale and they have a very good selection of RX-7 books. I would buy that book and hang onto it.

Yea its not really hi-tec. Its good for a n00b though. Ive had mine for 10 yrs or so too. The RB catalog gives more performance tips. But its neat cause its 1st gen only.

Cool! I think I'll go down to my public library and have them do an interlibrary loan request. They'll usually find some library across the country that has it and is willing to loan it. They used to charge a buck, but it has recently gone up to three dollars. Still, I've gotten to read some real hard to find books that way, without having to spend a fortune.

I assume that your talking about the rx8 book? if so here is something for all you guys out there, the isbn number for that book, well hopefuly this is the number a guy emailed me. He has one.
its 4-947659-02-5 P5000E I don't think the P5000E part is in it but he added it for some reason. Lates

Look on ebay if you want one. Mr. Ball (the author) was selling signed copies for something like $20.
