Default I have a manual...

Mickmate hooked me up with a reprint of the original! A Cobra (mine at least) is the simplest car I've ever owned. I didn't need a manual to put it together. The only parts that didn't come with it were the engine, tranny, batteries and associated stuff. And there is plenty of info out there on those if you need it.

As a CSX owner, I'd be more interested in documentation of the components and differences between that various CSX cars produced. I have looked some of the newer ones over at car shows and open track events, and I can tell you that mine differs greatly in the suspension, brakes, wiring, etc., from the later cars. I'd like to see a much more detailed questionaire for SAAC's Registry. When I filled mine out, it only asked general questions and what factory options it has. I'd like to see it broken out into much more detail to document the running changes that were/are being made.

I suppose that's because these cars are only grudgingly included in the Registry, as they are kind of the bastard child of the SAAC world. But some day I think we will regret not documenting them more closely, when everyone who built and sold them is no longer around to ask.

Anyhow, for someone to create a CSX manual, whatever that would be, they would have to include a ton of running detail and component changes. Not a simple task with a static product, and a monumental one with all the changes in components, production facilities, etc., that have occurred.

mickmate,
does the manual you created only apply to original csx cars or is it geared more for the newer continuation cars?
