Just wanted to let you guys know, consider scooping these up quick. I ordered a used library copy in awesome condition. Had a plastic cover over the book dust cover (I took it off and the cover looks as good as my other books in the series.)

This book came out in 86 or so when the car was introduced. Has great information about the development of the car, including the prototypes. which in my opinion IS HARD to find information online about them.

I actually got the FD and rx8 books at sevenstock a few years back and been wanting the FC book. Excuse the shitty pictures, was a quick snap at night and I have not mastered the art of taking pictures at night



Great book with rare photos in it. Beautiful print. Great if you love books like I do. I paid like $11 shipped for mine. Amazon listed as "Used -Very Good condition" . So I don't know what you would expect from the other listed conditions. But what is great is if you don't mind a used copy, it is just a few bucks

Grab cheap used copies on amazon here http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...condition=used
and more here but a little more costly

Here is another copy on ebay but has better pics then i do to show you what to expect in it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/EARLY-HISTOR...#ht_500wt_1180

 

I got the FC book for Christmas.. It's awesome to read everything in there. Especially their explanations of some oddities [ex: why the coolant channels were switched from the housings to the plates]

Could you scan a couple pages for me though? Someone slashed page 213/214 out of mine

 

Nice! USF's library had one, I've checked it out about 10 times at least lol. Ended up buying it on ebay not to long ago. I didn't know about the RX8 book!! *Goes to ebay right now*

 

I never thought to look in ebay or amazon for these- I got the FD book at the Mitty last year and have been wanting the FC one ever since. So I just ordered one. For $7... Very cool.

 

+1. I own all three of these. Great books!

 

they are great books, i've got all three plus the two miata ones

 

Ill see if I can scan them, but doesnt look like your missing much, just first gen spec sheet and mazda mx03 concept.

Yeah I am tempted to get the miata books even though I am not too crazy about that car, but would be nice to complete the collection.

 

Mike,

Are the two Miata book by Yamaguchi as well? May have to find them too.

 

WTF Reese! you've been holding out on me .

 

just bought mine,

 

Irritated... I looked at them earlier, my wife said wait and let me pick out some books too, I wait go to church come back, and all the reasonably priced ones are snatched up by you bunch of jerks... They were like $3.98 earlier.. Now the cheapest is over $20.00.

 

Great find!


Just bought one, thanks for making this thread.

 

Thats why i said supply is limited haha
Well im glad some guys here got to pick them up, this book is a treasure to rx7 enthusiast , who knows how long they been listed there waiting to get picked up.

I been reading it here and there.. Im 27 now but my mind likes to wonder around so I been trying to build my concentration back up.

The FD book has some info on the S5 changes, and the FD prototype car which was a white FC with 13brew and miata rear subframe and a mock up FD front bumper.

 

I own all three. They are really great books to have. It was a job well done by the author and the cooperation Mazda gave was invaluable.

 

When my Dad bought his last FC, that FC book came with it lol previous owner

 

Still have it BTW, but the plastic cover is long gone... anyways great book! Gotta love those shots with the FC traveling in the highway or parked in a Casino in Las Vegas

 

yep! there is a 1990ish and 1999ish one

they printed a lot of FD books, and probably the Rx8, but the FC book is fairly rare. i bought mine for $80 back in the day.

if you think that's bad check this one out, http://www.amazon.com/Ferrari-250-La...9796097&sr=8-1 i bought mine new for $39.95 and i though THAT was a lot!

 

yeah at sevenstock about 2 years ago or so, they where handing the fd and rx8 books out if you make a donation, even just a few cents got you a book lol

 

DITTO I have these three too.

also you must add




My others..

 

Awesome! Thanks! ^_^

I'd never seen the MX03 before I got this book so I was a bit sad when I noticed the missing page.. [I think it looks awesome]

Toyo Kogyo >> That's an amazing collection! Also, I didn't think I'd find anyone else who has the RX-7 Memorial book. I got my copy from the local Asian import store one random day.

 

@ derekcat

Got loads of sales brochures,kitset models and diecast all wankel.

yep, I got all but one of those 4 JDM books in Japan 15 months ago, they appear on ebay occasionally. great photos but of course in japanese text

 

I just ordered both of the Miata books. One is in collector's condition ($20.00!). The other one is new ($9). Whohoo!

 

I must find Never Stop Challenging. I'm holding out hope my wife bought it for me for my birthday. She mentioned she bought something from the UK for my birthday.

 

I'd bet it is champ...mine came from the UK last month...

funnily enough,I bought it for myself for MY birthday...my wife was home when it arrived I was at work) and she squirrelled it away somewhere my birthday....IN MAY!!

 

Haha, nice. I'll find out come March 11th. The big 3-0.
