E-book of 1st gen articles

Guys,
I've put together an e-book of 1st gen articles going back over the last 30 years such as road tests, buyers guides, improvement advice, triple rotor conversions, turbo conversions etc, etc....

It's presently up to 344 pages and still expanding.



It's only been done to preserve these features for 1st gen enthusiasts, not for profit and is free to download here....

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B8jAG...CMSdiIEI&hl=en

Check it out!

thanks for your positive comments guys, it was a lot of work but I'm well pleased how it's coming along.
I'm now working on the 2nd edition as I keep getting more articles and scans sent to me all the time.
If anyone has any articles they would like included, ( scans or files) please email them to me at;
ian08 at sky dot com
and I'll put them in the next edition.

Cheers,
Ian

I've got the two 1st gen articles that were in Grassroots Motorsports recently. I scanned them in but the file size is too big. I'm gonna see if I can downsize them and send to you to be included

Very nice! You might want to post this in the thread that I started containing Rotary Rocket articles. It is a sticky at the top off the page, titled Old Magazine Articles.

https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-general-discussion-207/more-old-magazine-articles-801978/

Feel free to add those articles to your book.

For your editing pleasure, page 31 and 32 are duplicates and Pages 87-90 and 105-108 are the same article, different scans.

Thanks, I'll download them and put them in the pdf.
Cheers for pointing out the duplicates.... I'd looked at the scans so many times, I couldn't see the wood for the trees.... I'll edit them out.

My figurative hat is off to you good sir, last time something this exciting happened I was in Mexico and there were ladies of the night involved.
