312 pages and more than 600 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. When the new Porsche 914 was announced in 1969 (as a 1970 Model), Floyd Clymer had already published a number of Porsche and VW manuals. Those publications included manuals for the Porsche 356 and 912, the VW Beetle, the 1500cc/1600cc Square-back/Hatch-back and the Transporter/Bus. Consequently, it was no surprise that Floyd would begin preparation of a 914 shop manual. Floyd was able to complete the Porsche 914 manual in record time, mainly because he was able to re-use most all of the 'mechanical' pages from his previously published Porsche and VW manuals. The only entirely 'new' section that he had to prepare was a chapter for the body components as they were uniquely different from any previous Porsche or VW model. Unfortunately, due to his untimely passing in early 1970 the 914 manual, although complete, remained unpublished and obviously, it only covered the early 914/4 1.7 liter and the 914/6 2.0 liter engines. We have taken that original manual and updated the information to cover the later 4 cylinder 1.8 liter and 2.0 liter models through 1976. While much of the general data is shared between both the 4 and 6 cylinder 914 variants, owners of the 6-cylinder 914 model are encouraged to read any individual chapter in its entirety, as it may include information that is specific to the 6-cylinder version.

174 pages with 145 illustrations, diagrams and charts, size 6-5/8 x 10-1/4 inches. This is a publication for those Ferrari enthusiasts that are tired of oversized and often overpriced coffee table books filled with page after page of photos of red Ferrari's and not much else.This book contains all the technical data and statistics for the majority of the 1948 to 1958 Ferrari road and race cars. It was compiled by a knowledgeable author who lived in Modena at the time that these cars were being constructed, who was personally acquainted with Enzo Ferrari and had access to the factory documents during that time period. It includes the author's road test experiences, technical specifications, tune up, adjustments, maintenance and repair information, detailed technical drawings, exploded views, wiring diagrams and lubrication charts. This book is a 'must have' for any Ferrari enthusiast or lucky owner of one of these early cars and should be in the library of any true Ferraristi. Originally published by Floyd Clymer in 1960 under the similar title of 'The Ferrari Owner's Handbook', its description left much to be desired. For example, of the 174 pages there are 90 pages that are much closer to a repair and maintenance manual. Consequently, it's more of a technical manual than a handbook.There are seven sections that cover both the road and race cars constructed by Ferrari from 1948 to 1958. Section 1 - The authors driving experiences of the Type 166, Type 342 and 340 America and Type 375 America.Section 2 - Specifications for 41 road and race cars constructed by Ferrari from 1948 to 1958. Section 3 - Repair, Maintenance and tune up information.Section 5 - Valve Timing and Carburetor data.Section 6 - Acceleration times.Section 7 - Detailed component drawings, exploded views, Wiring Diagrams, Lube charts etc.

Leichtbau durch Funktionsintegration bietet als systemischer Ansatz großes Potential die Gewichtspirale im Fahrzeugbau zu durchbrechen und hierdurch den heutigen Herausforderungen im Kontext des Klimawandels und globaler CO2-Ziele, Ressourceneffizienz und Nachhaltigkeit zu begegnen. Dabei bieten insbesondere faserverstärkte Kunststoffe auf Grund ihres spezifischen Aufbaus und ihrer Herstellungsprozesse ¿ über die reine Gewichtsreduktion im Sinne des Werkstoffleichtbaus hinaus ¿ hervorragende Möglichkeiten zur Integration zusätzlicher Funktionen. Eine wesentliche Herausforderung für diese Funktionalisierung besteht derzeit in der effizienten, industriell umsetzbaren Integration von Funktionen in die FVK-Strukturbauteile selbst und der parallelen Entwicklung prozesssicherer, automatisierter und wirtschaftlicher Fertigungsprozesse.Das vorliegende Buch beschreibt alle notwendigen Schritte für die Umsetzung des Ansatzes für die automobile Großserie, von der Ermittlung der Anforderungen an ein automobiles Realbauteil über die Entwicklung und Bewertung von Ansätzen zur Funktionalisierung hin zu Konzeptentwicklung und zur Umsetzungsphase. Das Buch entstand im Rahmen des ARENA2036-Projektes ¿Intelligenter Leichtbau durch Funktionsintegration (LeiFu)¿ als partnerschaftliche Kooperation von Wissenschaft und Industrie. Die beteiligten Partner sind die Firmen Daimler, Bosch, BASF sowie die Universität Stuttgart, das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) und die Deutschen Institute für Textil- und Faserforschung Denkendorf (DITF). Das Forschungsprojekt LeiFu wurde gefördert durch das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF); Förderkennzeichen: 02PQ5000 bis 02PQ5005.
