You will want one when you see how complicated it can get without one.

 

The question is, which ONE? I don't want to spend $120 when I only need 10 pages of the workshop manual -.-"

Thanks in advance!

 

You need the body section to take apart the dash and stuff - without it you will break things because Mazda uses so many tricky, hidden fasteners.
You will then need the wiring diagrams to work with the audio system because none of the OEM wiring makes sense in a standard way.

 

About the service manual available on eBAY, I know someone who bought it (wasn't me, I would never do that!), and the seller included the following note with the CD:

"Because of the copy protection built into this CD, additional copies made from this CD are to be considered temporary only and will be created with an expiration date that will disable the copied CD. Additional copies may damage this original copy."

What a joke.

 

LOL. but so far i must say eBay has the best deals (whether in CD form or not). oh well~

 

From what I hear, if you're going to buy the manual on eBay, don't bother trying to win the auction. Just make a low bid, lose, and the guy will contact you to buy it at your bid price.

 

Where are you guys finding the manual for $90. Trussville has it for somewhere around $120 (I would check it, but for some reason, their page is having problems). I got mine through Mazdamotorsports & it was still over $100. My only complaint about the manual is that it doesn't have how to take the engine apart. Not that I ever want to do this, but I would have thought it would be in there. It has how to remove/install the engine, but not how it comes apart.

 

my shop manual was delivered a week ago, from trussvillemazda.com for $90. For months I've only seen trussville sell them for $90...

 

hmmm... I just went back to their site to check and it's not listed under parts where I saw it before. Can NE1 else check this out.

 

I got both the shop manual and the wiring diagrams from Trussville Mazda 3 weeks ago. As I remember the shop manual was 99.00 and the wiring diagrams were 54.00. Shipped the same day and received the next. Good folks, good prices, great service. E-mailed order conformation within an hour or two and then followed that up with shipping info and tracking number. And they included a free RX8 Club.com sticker.
