This review is from: Improving the Performance and Handling of Your Sporty Car: A Guide and Source Book (Hardcover)

For people who are just getting involved with automobile performance, this is where to begin. It is purely an introduction to the pursuit, but it covers all areas in a sensible order: suspension, wheels & tires, brakes, drivetrain, engine, interior & body. It encourages forming a plan with a realistic budget, which I didn't really have until I finished reading this book. The appendices also serve as a useful directory of resources for finding parts suppliers, schools, & clubs. You'll need much more information before you can actually put a project or even a plan together, but this will help you set balanced, reasonable goals.
