Mazda Miata Performance Handbook on 2040-parts.com

Up for auction is this very nice used copy of "Mazda Miata Performance Handbook" by Norman H. Garrett III.  The author is a former  Mazda/Miata project engineer. This manual is published by MBI Publishing Company,  in 1998.  There are 16 chapters in this book--(1) The Miata Development Story, (2)Driving A Miata (fast),(3)Modification Issues,   (4) Wheels And Tires, (5) Suspension And Parts, (6)Brakes,(7) Engine Overview, (8) Ignition, (9) Induction System Improvement, (10) Exhaust System. (11)Internal Engine Modifications. (12) Drivetrain, (13)Forced Induction, (14) Racing A Miata, (15) Appearance Items, and (16) Mentionable Miatas. There is also an introduction, as well as a Sources section and Index.  There is a total of 160 pages, with a wealth of information to go along with the many photographs.  It seems to target the earlier years of this car's production.   If you have one of these cars and are looking to make some performance improvements to it, or are planning to road race a  Miata, then this is the book you need.  I think this manual has been reissued a time or two, with a different front and back cover, but the one I am putting up for auction here today is in very  good condition.

I took the liberty to see if any others are listed on E-bay, and I did find a new one listed for $139.00. Additionally I also found that there is a used one as well, for $39.95.  It is my wish to see this manual go to an enthusiast who is looking to do some neat things with his Miata--whether it be for competition or just  making a Miata more fun to drive on a daily basis.   With that in mind, I am starting the bidding on this manual at $12.95  plus $3.25 for shipping via USPS Media Mail. As this is a used book, I am listing it as such, and do not imply any warranty or return policy--I am figuring that the winning bidder will make the purchase knowing what he is wanting and getting, and will no doubt be pleased when this item arrives.  However, please contact me if there are any issues. Winning bidder is asked to remit PayPal payment within 72 hours of auction's close, and I will ship out within 3 business days of receiving cleared payment.  Please no international buyers---US bidders only. If there are any questions, please contact me before bidding, and I will answer just as soon as I can.  Thanks, and have a great day!!!
