Required Reading?

I got a $75 Amazon Gift Card so I thought I'd add to my Miata book collection.

Looking for recommendations on good books to have.

Here is my current collection:

Mazda Factory Shop Manual
Miata Enthusiast's Shop Manual (1.8)
Haynes Repair Manual (I know it sucks)
Miata Performance Projects by Keith Tanner
Miata Performance Handbook by Norman Garrett
Miata Universe by Jay Lamm
Miata Performance Handbook (1989-1996) by R. M. Clarke
Miata 5 Year Anniversary Book
Miata 10 Year Anniversary Book
Mazda Mx-5 Miata: Renaissance Sportscar by Brian Long
Miata Mazda MX-5 : The Rebirth of the Sports Car by Jack Yamaguchi
Miata Mazda MX-5: Mazda's Affordable Sports Car for the New Millennium by Jack Yamaguchi

I also have all the Miata Magazines

Here is my thoughts on what to get.

Mazda MX-5 Miata: Find It. Fix It. Trick It. by Keith Tanner

Mazda MX-5 Miata: The Book of the World's Favorite Sportscar by Brian Long and Takao Kijima

Do It Up Mazda MX-5 [Miata/Eunos]: A practical guide to renovation on a budget (Do it up!) by Paul Hardiman

You & Your Mazda MX-5/Miata Buying, Enjoying, Maintaining, Modifying by Liz Turner

Mazda MX-5 Miata Roadster by Toshihiko Hirai

Thoughts?

I have been meaning to pick this one up. I have Keith's first 2 books and have found both fun to read and very helpful.

There is some ::Clown:: on Miata.net asked the exact same question, what are the chances!

Is that what you call it?

Is Miata Enthusiast's Shop Manual worth the money?

Thanks

Yes. Especially for someone learning how to work on a Miata.

Now that I have been working on them for the last 10+ years I only use it for torque specs.

Cool, I'll have to put it on my "buy" list then.

I ordered "Mazda Miata MX- 5 Performance Projects" and "Mazda MX-5 Miata: Find It. Fix It. Trick It" for $32 shipped free last night from Amazon.

I definitely agree with your original post that the Haynes manual sucks, that's all I had with the first miata. But all I had to do with it was change the oil and replace the clutch slave unit.
