Every RX-7 fan should read this one

By "scottro93" - February 19, 2001

I have just finished this book, plus the three extra omitted chapters, and I felt compelled to write this review. As a weekend mechanic, I appreciate how well- written the book is. So far I have learned so much more useful information in the past few days than I have in the past 7-8 months since I bought my 1993 RX-7. I particularly like the straight forward approach that you don;t always get with the various magazines. I already started doing a few things to the car that I didn't know needed to be upgraded so that I may avoid potential problems (the 3rd generation RX-7 is a great car, but it can be unreliable). I would recommend this book to all rx-7 owners

Excellent for beginners Despite Over enthusiasm

By Farid Kareem - December 21, 2001

This book is written in plain english and easily understood. I bought it because I wanted some rumours about RX7 cleared. All the topics are relevent and handy, making this book a keepsake. Simetimes the articles sound too enthusiastic, making you wondr if the reviews were objective, It's hard to get an objective review from a fanatic racer (as Ancas is). The only bad point is that the picture quality is poor and is in black and white.Nevertheless, I am glad I bought it. Anyone interested in purchasing the RX7 or just purchased one should GET this book!FARID

Both informative and fun to read

By Bob A - December 17, 2000

This book was such a refreshing change over the typical dry and boring auto performance book. This guy has a sense of humor, and besides being informative, the book is fun to read. I have an 89 Turbo II, and was impressed that someone finally addressed issues about MY car (seems like most of the magazines concentrate on the 93-95 RX-7). I learned a lot, and highly recommend this book. I visited the author's home page and bought this book as well as a model of my car! (been looking for one of those for years). Thanks, Mike
