Chassis
Engineering/Chassis Design, Building & Tuning for High Performance
Handling by Herb Adams
This book is applicable to most chassis setups and provides a good introduction to various modifications that are often done to enhance handling. But even more importantly, Herb teaches us the benefits and drawbacks of different systems and mods. Especially valuable for those of us that do not trailer our cars around yet (but it does go there too!) Selection/review from Bob Myers of Trenton, NJ |

Chilton's
Mitsubishi : Eclipse 1990-98 Repair Manual (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair
Manual) Paperback - 550 pages Updated edition. While purists would
probably prefer the factory manuals, this book isn't bad for under $20
(factory manuals for 90 through 99 would cost $150 or more.) It is probably
better for the non-mechanic as all routine procedures and maintenance are
well described and include illustrations and photos.
![]() Also consider the Hayne's Repair Manual for the Eclipse /Laser /Talon for 1st Gen cars. This book is even cheaper but not as complete as the above titles but ok for beginners. |
