rbodor3 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Looking for a good beginner's book for building suspension & handling for race-ready vehicles. Car in question is a heavily modified miata (aka a shell with parts in it). engineering heavy is fine - I know physics, statics, dynamics, deformable bodies.... Tune to win was recommended, have a copy to grab from a friend. Any other recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshV70 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Carroll Smith books are fantastic, and entertaining to read as well. How to Make Your Car Handle by Fred Puhn is another book I see recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxx999 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Building something similar to this? http://www.bulletcars.com/cars/ss/ Should be very interesting build, keep us posted :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbodor3 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 haha sort of, already built and I was involved in little of the initial build. We're trying to sort out all of the issues that kept it from putting all the potential power to the ground (suspension included). v8 toyota engine, custom paddle shifters, extended driveshafts, mega squirt, and it goes on.
