986/ 987 Torque Specification Book? Would you buy one?

Guys,

Over the past few months I have been working on a guide specifically for the torques associated with the entire vehicle that uses an illustrated parts breakdown arrangement to reference which fastener goes where, by position. It also has bolt length, and diameter, as well as the type of coating that the fastener may have. These are a necessity in any tool box, professional, and enthusiast alike. Finding one torque spec thats embedded deeply in a work shop manual can take several minutes, and some simple cannot be found. This reference changes everything, since it gives all the specs by sub- assembly, and puts the torques at your finger tips in seconds.

I have just completed the 997 Fastener Torque Specification Guides (189 pages) and they release this week. The 996 version (150 pages) is at the printer now, will be done next week.

While some specs of 986 and 987 are the same as their big brothers in the 911 series, others are different. There's not enough cross over between the models to create one book that is able to accurately cover both Boxster and 911 models.

My question to you is more of a survey, so I have started a poll with this thread. The retail price the book for 986 and 987 would be 59.95. The books will have 150+ pages, so we would not combine 986/987 together, they would be split up like we have the 996/ 997 books.

My question to you is more of a survey, so I have started a poll with this thread. The retail price of the book for 986 and 987 would be 59.95 retail. If you would be inclined to purchase a book like this, at this price, please cast a ballot in the survey. Here are some shots of the front and back cover of the 997 book, and also a sample of an illustrated parts breakdown, and torque table. The 986/987 books would be the same. If I decide to do these, they will be available in 3-4 months.
