I have one of those already, I wouldn't exactly call it a performance book, More like a PIA but thanks for the reply. If there isn't one someone should definitely make one.

NO DON'T BUY IT!



The RX-7 Performance Handbook is a worthless use of a tree. You'll find better information in the FAQ area then you will in that book.



Haven't read the Road and Track book, I cannot comment on that one.

im going to say the complete oposite of the above about the performance handbook its worth the money true that alot of that information can be found else where but its all in that book and you wont need to search around for it



its also a good read it is on all rx7s though not just the FC

it also has some info on the cosmo and the other RX's



my 2 cents

Put down the crackpipe man. The author has a third grade vocabulary and is the master of the obvious.



If you really want a copy, I'll sell you mine for $10. PM me.
