HPBooks. any1 else reads this book to reference? tis is an old book but very useful when deciding to mod and what parts to choose... not just throwin money on the best brand. i love it, anyone knows a better update? maybe by someone else?

Are you talking about, "How to Make Your Car Handle" by Fred Puhn? I really like "Race Car Vehicle Dynamics" by Bill and Doug Milliken (world renowned experts in vehicle dynamics) and most books by Carrol Smith.

i have tune to win by carrol smith. good book...but quite old. however, the basics...are still true and fundamentally correct.

I used them all as references when I was working on Forza Motorsport, but damnit, i don't own ANY of them yet.

I had both of these come highly reccomended; I need to make the investment here, too.

Tune/Race/Prepare to Win (I think that's the 3) were pretty impressive books when i read them, i could really stand to sit down with them again though.

i found 1-2 from different books with info that contradicts each other...feels funny like as if the other fell asleep and wrote some info backwards. lost the other book(it has a red prelude in front) but i think fred puhn is correct.
the minor topic being wheel spacing pg.124
positive offset is towards out from the center line right???

 

[freedomgli]

Depends on what is moving towards out.

yes... like that! i thought i measured correctly. +10 offset. negative would be too much on a miata without fender mods. i rolled mine with a bat!
