Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Used copy but still a good book

⭐I am a DIY type of guy and proudly own a Nissan 350Z. I like to do all things by myself and learn in the process and they say that experience makes the leadership and thats true and this book takes you through the process of everything a car enthusiast needs to know to cure the vein. this book is really informative and would definitely recommend to anyone that loves cars as I do.

⭐Very basic information for anyone to understand and also extra information you wouldn’t always think about. learned some stuff out of here. Very easy read. Good info

⭐He loved it. Great book for younger folks.

⭐i thought it was just going to be things that i already knew and just add it to the library, but it does have alot in it. gets into ecu’s and tells you how to change stuff to make more power. explains things in detail and doesn’t leave out anything that i caught anyway. good book, with illistrations to describe it better. i would recommend this book to anyone that would like to learn more, sharpen skills or even for the beginner.

⭐The book is great for a diy person to upgrade your cars performance. it is explains every part for modding your engine. however it does not explain the electric turbos,supercharges and tuners.

⭐I love cars and this book helped me understand how different modifications could affect a cars preformance. It gave me a deeper look into the few things I have done to my car beyond the high claims of any aftermarket part. This is a great Book that will keep you interested if you are in any way interested in the preformance of cars.

⭐If you are thinking about modifying your car and have the “need for speed”, read this book first. It’ll give you fair warning about what happens legally and financially if you don’t plan your modification properly. Bascially before you install that race-ready ECU, turbo or exhaust think of the repercussions it’ll cause legally with the environment and the police. The information is very basic but useful to know and far ranging.

⭐A joy to read and to use as a resource for future upgrades.This is nice to set your mind about current and new projects.

⭐Very Happy with book. Great book ….covers a lot of topics in good detail without getting heavy on the technical side.Good book for beginners and experienced. Delivery was quick, received within the week.

⭐I bought this book for my daughter who is very pleased with the purchase and says that it has helped her tinker with her car.

⭐More Yank than I would have liked

⭐This is the sort of 90’s show car style. Which is just seen as Chavy now days.A decent read and informative but a small starter bit of knowledge is needed.
