Rare RX-7 hardcover book, supply is limited imo
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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
