Anybody got any good books automotive books? Suggestions? I've already got Maximimum Boost on order, and was looking at something that deals with suspension/wheel/brakes, and some good technical engineering books. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

oh man, there was one that i found at books a million a while back, i think it was called "how to make your car handle" or something like that. despite the title, it was pretty informative when i thumbed through it. but alot of that stuff can be found in the suspension section here.

^^^ That is an awesome book. It's by Fred Puhn and is published by HPBooks. SOOOO much information crammed in those 200-or-so pages. Although it was written back in 1981, it still contains many ideas that are worthwhile to any enthusiast. I definetly recommend it.

I got the Auto Math Handbook by John Lawler. It was also published by HPBooks. It contains a lot of helpful formulas. Definately something to look into.
