I am looking at racing an RX-7 again. The first time was in '93. At that time I bought a book titled "How to Modify Your Mazda Rx-7" by Dave Emanuel. I went to look for it the other day and remembered throwing it away about 3-4 years ago figuring I would never race a RX-7. When I looked for one on-line I was delighted to find out they are out of print and used ones run between $200 and $300. Never throw away a book!

http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/smile.gif Every once in a while you'll find one for a more realistic price.

Haven't had my hands on one, but I'd imagine that 99% of the info in it is available on the web.

Welcome back!

i looked at the thread, because i thought it was a suggestion or a vote on what to rename IT racing. even though i only have a C car, i often feel like the topic... there goes $200 for brakes... there goes $200 for a tire... there goes $200 for a strut... there goes $200 for a new ignition box... there goes... awww you get it.

There goes $200 for a strut??? Oooo...I wish I had your car!

World Challenge guys have dampers in the $1000 range....per corner.

I've seen ITA cars with dampers in that range too.

I bought my copy used for $85 through an online bookstore. It now sports Jim Downing's autograph making it worth at least $90. http://ITForum.ImprovedTouring.com/smile.gif
