I’ve always found the lack of good reading material on these cars frustrating….. just the odd magazine article and book here and there.
I therefore decided to put one together myself and here it is… the 1st edition!

It’s a collection of magazine articles, road tests, buyers guides, sales brochures, technical guides, engine, handling and bodywork mods going back over the last 31 years.

I haven’t done it for profit, just for myself and other 1st gen enthusiasts to enjoy and you can download it for free here!

This 1st edition is 344 pages of RX7 heaven! It’s a work in progress, is still expanding but hey, it’s a start! If anyone has got any articles, brochures, road tests etc etc that aren't in the E-book so far, please send me some scans if you can and I'll add them into the book. th:

Hope you enjoy it.

It's now been 4 years since this first edition of the E-book was published and an update is well over due.
For the next month or so I'll be collecting additional content before adding it to the e-book. If anyone has got any road tests, sales brochures or other 1st gen articles they would like to have included, could they please scan them and send them to:

cybertech at sky dot com

and I'll add them in. I'll need the scans in either jpg or pdf format.

cheers,
Ian

I've got loads but I dunno how to do like PDFs and stuff :oops: I think I can just about manage to find a scanner; does it automatically convert them to the format you want?

I'm not great on puters, in case it wasn't obvious :oops:

yes, it should scan them to either a picture file (jpg) or a pdf.... either is fine... I can then convert to pdf this end.

Just noticed this ebook... Hoping for a quiet night at work to read it :)

I posted a few bits up in another thread... Is that of any use? No idea how I would scan it without a scanner though
