Review

Review from Classics Monthly, March 2009
UK magazine
Now in an updated and enlarged third version, this book, as with the others in the SpeedPro Series, is the closest you can get to having an expert standing beside you in the garage. Chapters take you through engine, brake, and suspension modifications, so by the end you'll have an in-depth understanding of how to upgrade the entire car. Sensibly written in plain English with clear full-color images of everything you need to see. The book also contains unique information on the Triumph 1500 and 1275 inline engines, and a useful chapter on body modifications and the aftermarket panels available. If you're in need of such advice, you'll never regret getting a copy of this book.

Product Description

This completely revised, updated and enlarged book is the complete guide to building a fast MG Midget or Austin-Healey Sprite for road or track. Daniel has been continuously developing his own 'Spridget' for years and he really does know what works and what doesn't when it comes to building a fast Midget or Sprite. Best of all, this book covers every aspect of the car from the tyre contact patch up to the rollover bar and from radiator back to exhaust tailpipe. With 400 mainly colour photos and exclusive tuning advice this is a must for any Sprite or Midget owner.

If you are a talented and experienced race car builder this book may not be of much use to you. For the rest of us however it is informative, well written and a good read. It shows how a Midget /Sprite can be improved and does not just concentrate on the engine alone but takes you through the whole car, if you have the budget that is.

I expected something more like Vizzard's tuning book but this didn't live up to the dream. Although Vizzard's engine book is hard to navigate it contains lots of experimental data, parts information and diagrams from which you can determine what does and doesn't work. Not so the 'High Performance Manual' it feels like a real beginners book and contains a lot of references to manufacturers in the text making it read like a marketing exercise. The book is easy to navigate but lacks substance and depth. Looks nice on the shelf with its glossy cover.
