quick thing - I want to gain as much knowledge about all car-related aspects as I could. I know of a few books, i.e. if I want to know about turboing a car, I read maximum boost. What are other books like this?

 

Helm's service manuals.

 

yea, corky bell has some books on turbos and supercharging a car. it has good info

 

w3rd to *****!

www.helmsinc.com i think.

But i don't want it to be car specific. General books for many different types of cars.

Oh, thats helpful. I know the Honda/Acura Performance Guide pt 1 and 2 is really good, but what else... come on, how did you all learn so much about cars, besides ht.c

 

seriously bro, this is how.

 

I learned everything from people I know and Honda-Tech.com

 

u have the internet, information is endless.

 

well my friends threw my 25th Birthday party in a bar...and when it got real late i was waking out to my car then suddenly i looked up in the sky I saw this light come straight at me then I passed out when i woke up I had a 17mm in my right and a 12mm in my left hand.

Weired still workin on the car.

 

LowRider Magazine

 

same

 

Here... let me rephrase it... Lets say if I go on a trip to the Dakotas or something where there is no internet and i want to bring ten car books. what would they be?

 

I can't even think of ten books. If you want to learn just stick around honda-tech and read more and post less. If you have a question or something you want to know more than likely it can be found searching. Then expand your horizons. I'm not turbo or hybrid but I read in both those forums because i know i will be pretty soon. Just read, read, and read. As far as books, basically what you listed, honda tuners guide or whatever it is called and if you want to learn turbos, maximum boost by corky bell.

 

Books:

Fred Puhn- How to make your car handle

herb adams- chassis engineering

paul v. valkenburgh- race car engineering & mechanics

milliken & milliken- race car vehicle dynamics (get this book FIRST. it is THE book to own.)

 

Thank you. That was exactly what I wanted. bb5h22a - you rock.
