Showroom Stock Race Car Preparation

How to Race-Prepare Your Car

By Nigel Macknight

The term "Showroom Stock" has always been an overstatement. Building a racecar takes more than just bolting in a rollbar and putting numbers on the doors. Building a safe, reliable, and competitive car takes MUCH more!

This thorough book covers important safety equipment, preparation and use of stock components, and techniques for building winning production-based race cars. The concepts are explained in such a way that they can be applied to any production car. Photos taken during the build-up of a Ford Escort Cosworth (Merkur XR4Ti) illustrate the principles outlined.

This is an excellent reference book for anyone building a production-based race car for any class, including Touring, IT, and even GT. And if you are buying a racecar that's already built, this book will show you how to tell if it was built right. 160 pages, 250 illustrations.
