I'll admit it, i'm a dork. I love reading. Anything with tech. in it interests me. Anything with cars gets my jollies goin. So I wanted to know if there are any good books out there. Anything covering engine or suspension tuning would rock. Any suggestions are welcome.

holy mother of god......i don't know how old you are, but you're about the first new guy i've seen request a list of books to read.......i don't know if i can suggest exactly what you're looking for but i'm happy to try

Secrets of Solo Racing

Winning; a Race Drivers Handbook

Going Faster; mastering the art of race driving

those books are mostly about driving techniques, but have good sections on suspension setups and the science of the how and why things happen

there's a book i think is called Maximum Boost that i've heard people talk about before..........and DSC will have another website to suggest to you

hope this helps some

Yeah i'm 17. The books you had listed were about the only one's i saw on amazon.com Thanks for suggesting them. They were already on my wishlist &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> Maximum Boost is new to me though. I'll check it out. Hey do you own any of these books?

Not books, but damn good reading...and free too. Would be a good start but I'm sure the books will go into much more detail.

http://www.turnfast.com
http://www.ukcar.com/features/tech
http://www.bath.ac.uk/~en8djw/sus1.htm
http://www.howstuffworks.com/category.htm?cat=sc-engi
And one I just found the other day
http://www.wtrscca.org/tech.htm

I've also heard great things about Drive To Win
