Good books on the MX5?

[911hillclimber]

Although the MX5 MkII arriving in my household is my daughters, i find them very applealing.

any work on the car will be by her local mechanic...you know who that will be... so I would like to find a book to help on the usual stuff but also tweeking them etc.

There are a couple of Haynes books, but are there others/better?

It could be a Xmas pressie from me to her!

The rod graingers manual is THE bible for the mk1, not sure if there's a mk2 book. An awful lot of the mechanicals will carry over though

OK, will find one!

I've been using Rod Grainger's Mk1 1.6 workshop manual for all my MX-5s for years. Most of the mechanicals are similar if not identical. There is a 1.8 version which would be better but they didn't do a Mk2 book to my knowledge.

Also useful is Norman Garrett's Miata Performance Handbook and Keith Tanner's Miata Performance Projects both published by Motorbooks and available at Amazon. Keith Tanner wrote another book but I don't have it so can't comment on its usefulness.

Then, of course, there is the internet and the best resource is probably miata.net - there's technical info on there for everything.

Cheers,

Kev

The Owners Club website is also a good resource for home maintenance.
