RX-7 Books

Gotta love them books! I know you guys rock and all and well this forum is actually one (if not THE Best) forum that I have ever been a part of, but we all know that we get our quabbles (sp?) from time to time and need a book to either reference our info from or what have you. I was just wondering what you guys were some good books to check out that can teach me all I ever wanted to know about an FD in Joe Smoe terms. Links would be great. Just a lil sumting sumtung to add my my collection .

Mind you that reference and/or workshop manuals are cool and all, but the kind of books I'm referring to are nontechnical ones. TIA guys!

The absolute best book on how the 3rd Gen RX-7 was designed and engineered is: "RX-7. The Mazda RX-7: Mazda's Legendary Sports Car"
by Jack Yamaguchi and John Dinkel.

It's also the most expensive, but well worth it. It's a high quality hard cover book with great photos of the suspension, drivetrain, chassis, early styling proposals, etc, etc.

I bought my Yamaguchi book at the site listed below. They had one of the best prices that I've found and the book arrived in about 3 days. Just scroll down on the main page to find this book as well as several others on the RX-7. Hope it helps.
