I have one but I'll keep it for no reason. My opinion is that the book is weak and you can find better info right here. Very entry level stuff. No offense to Mr. Scruggs intended. The book has been around for a long time and seems dated, that's all.

I have his books and have not attempted the alighment yet... I'll probably do it then take it to get checked and compare what I thought I set to what I actually set... I'm an engineer and can't do math

Milt, I would be interested in hearing your tricks and sugestions on parts that should be updated. I have long considered reworking the diagrams and putting the calculations into XL... Someone here probably already has

Best regards,

Michael

RoyB -

I just received my copy from him a few days ago - $15 and he included the booklet on autocross driving. I have not looked into the driving booklet, so I can't comment on it.

You can reach him at raystrax@yahoo.com

Thanks,

IO emailed him and he said the book was for 911s up to 1985. Mine is a 1987.....Think it would still be helpful?

Yes...still valuable....you need to understand the spline count differences on the torsion bars on the 915 cars vs your G50 car ( for ride height adjustment-rear)....but the basics are still the same.
