Racing Beat Catalog?

I just ordered the Racing Beat catalog.

Too late to do anything about it, but is it worth the $10?

Does it have any good info, or does it basically repeat what's on their website?

Any other good publications on 1st Gen 7's?

Thanks,
IJ

You won't be disappointed man, lots of good info to soak up, as well as some very cool pictures. Not to mention that its a very classy, better than magazine quality publication.

Ditto, The Mazdatrix catalog is excellent as well.

The Catalog is a great wealth of info!
There is only one problem that I can think of.
Get ready to spend alot of money cause as you read threw it your gonna say.
I Need This!!!
I Need That!!!
And maybe One of Those!!!
And Of Course One of Thats!!!
Best $10.00 you will ever spend. It's to bad that there is nothing in there that's 10 Bucks.

I order stuff from the Mazdatrix catalog but kept the newer RB catalog because of all the spec and tech info in it....I've only gotten the billet oil cap from RB directly...the catalog is very nice...worth the money easily...

Yeah the RB catalog is pretty good. You will however end up wanting it all!

I don't have any clue about the Mazdatrix catalog, but based on what people have said I might consider getting one of those. This holiday spending mindset is really killing my wallet!

I got the catalog, but in two days the binding feel apart. They did not even staple all the way through.

My Racing Bleat catalog is from 1985, so it has all the obsolete stuff like Mikuni and Dell'orto carbs.
Also, no 2nd Gen. or newer distractions.
I have it pretty much memorized by now.

Ask them if they could throw one in with your next purchase, or if they could lower the price a little.
