I've just won the 'Tuning the A-series engine' book by Vizard on Ebay (for £4.71!!) and I was just wondering how this was different to his How to modify your mini book? Anyone have knowledge of both?!

Ones dedicated to tuning the engine the others for general mini modification? I would guess, havent got any of them.

Are there anymore for sale?? Going to have a look now!

Yea, there was another Tuning the A series ending in an hour or 2, again hovering around the £4 £5 mark.

So has anyone got the how to modify your mini? Is it any good? I can't see there being a lot in it that isn't in the tuning the A series, except for suspension i spose!

ive got both books....

the tuning the a-series engine book is related entirely to engine stuff, and nothing else....

the how to modify your mini book is a bit more general, still with masses of engine detail, but also with info about all sorts of different suspension and brake setups.
both books are great and well worth having!
