4.0 out of 5 stars
A fine introduction to modifying the Sprite and Midget.,
By Growler (South) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Power Tune Midget and Sprite for Road and Track (Speed Pro) (Paperback)
Mr Stapleton's aim is ambitious, to say the least. To collate the various tuning options available for an extremely popular, 40 year old car, which has been modified from day one, is quite a feat. Stapleton achieves a broad coverage by skimping on some technical nitty-gritty. The simpler mods are covered in full, and the pros and cons of all options are discussed clearly, but this is NOT a 'How-to' book, despite the title.However, as a good, accurate introduction to the art of modifying the Spridget, this book is indispensable. It's full of pictures, and will certainly bring the novice Spridget owner a good understanding of the ins and outs of performance modification. I highly recommend it. G
