I'm finishing up the 101 Projects book for the BMW 3-Series, and I'm thinking of what to do next. I'm not sure about the transmission book - we'll have to see about that. My editor suggested something like 101 MORE Projects for your Porsche 911, but I'm not sure I could come up with 101 more interesting things to do that are worth writing about?
So, what do you think could be added to the list? Let's see how many we can come up with? I'll start everyone off with a few that were missed in the first book.
Transmission rebuild (overview)
Gate shift kit
Pertronix installation
AC upgrade
Seat swap
Gauge faces
Rust repair (yuck - there's a reason this didn't make it into the first one)
Aftermarket Engine Management install
Suspension upgrade How-To?
On the other hand, the other idea I had was to write a 911 Extreme Projects Book. Here is the synopsis I pitched in 2002, before the BMW book was contracted:
Quote:
We've got 101 Projects for Your Porsche 911, and now we'll have how
to
rebuild your Porsche 911 Engine.
How about a how-to high-performance (really high-performance book) that shows you exactly what you need to do:
- Twin Plug ignition
- Electromotive TEC-3 Fuel Injection
- Supercharger Installation
- Turbo Charger Add-on
- Brembo GT2 Brake installation
- Coil-overs PSS9 suspension conversion
- 911 Dieting (weight loss)
- Limited Slip Install and gear ratio change
Basically a Workshop how-to book with all the goodies that
you hear about, but don't know how to do...
This extreme book would be, well extreme...

Another subtitle might be "How to build Jack's car..."
Thoughts?
