Description

Following the format of MBI Publishing Company's wildly successful 101 Harley-Davidson Performance Projects (0 7603 0370-3), this all-colour collection guides owners of all 911s, from the short wheelbase to the SC, through 101 carefully selected, weekend projects illustrated with step-by-step, studio photography. Divided into three categories - performance, handling, and customization - the projects range from 30-minute tune-ups to eight-hour performance modifications. Each is accompanied by a handy chart indicating how much time, talent, and cash are needed to successfully complete the project. Author Wayne Dempsey also explains why the jobs should be undertaken and what kind of improved performance the owner can expect. An unprecedented book on the subject and a great resource for everyone from casual enthusiasts to shop pros.
