Yes, they are extremely useful - assuming you are already mechanically inclined. There are a few web-sites around that will let you download the manual for free (it is 466 MB). Sorry, but I don't have an address off the top of my head though
Short Answer: If you plan on doing most of your own maintenance, yes, it is definately worth the $220, the books will not teach you to be a mechanic though. AFJuvat |

FYI: I am currently working on making the pdf files searchable, broken up into smaller files and have links to all the files and main topics.
I finally downloaded what was available on rennlist last week and found it very time consuming to page through those large files. I am not complaining at all, because they are better than not having them at all. :-) If anybody is interested, i'll post updates somewhere as I get them done.

You need to download an FTP utility - FTPX comes to mind as a good free one.
Sorry the server is rather crude, I'll work on getting something a bit more user friendly up here in a day or so. AFJuvat |

Mike -
I have downloaded like 3 different types of FTP server software and not one of them will allow me to access your site. Where do I enter in the I.P address? When I hit the "search for files on the internet" button, it says to enter FTP server name; the user; and the password......but the IP address doesn't work in any of these areas. Don't mind me, I'm learning this as I go (well, not really learning anything right now  ).944S Boyeee |
