I am going to build up a library of RX-7 information. The idea is to scan it into my computer so I have something to read when I am in really remote parts of the world, and away from my Regina.

What books are there on the RX-7, paticularily Gen 1s of course? Are there any websites where these books have been scanned in already- the cost of airmail is often higher than the cost of the book. I have just bought a 20 year old mag to read an article on the RX-7, and freight/ handling is 3 times higher than the purchase price!

One great advantage of the Gen 1 is its mechanically simple so the owner can do much of his own work. My last hot car was a Nissan R34 which was so complex you almost needed a manual to open the hood!

Thanks for any info.
