5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent and professional, 1 Mar 2004

By	Antonis Michailidis "Pint of Brew" (Midlands UK) - See all my reviews

I've bought a fair share of books in the last few years on car/engine tuning, and this one is by far the most comprehensive and complete one. This book is written for the amateur driver, not the racing professional, who aims to improve and boost his car's performance by making modifications from as simple as changing to aluminium alloy wheels, to as complex as moulding the engine's air-intake manifold, changing cam-shafts and adapting the car's lateral-acceleration gauge to control the car's electronics. It's written in easy-to-follow language, full of diagrams and pictures, and well worth it's money. The only negative point being that it occasionaly uses odd units, and most of the cars demonstrated are american production models(as it's an american book). Those minor factors aside, this is the book i'll be coming back to each time I want to modify something on my cars.
Right, now let's get back to grinding-down that flywheel and variying the valve-timing...
