OK so I am cleaning up my hdd. Came across what looks to be a Mazda RX-8 Workshop Manual. It is pretty comprehensive. Might even be the same materials that the Mazda technician use.
It's actually interactive.

Here are some screen shots.







I have no clue how I got it. Maybe back in my uber-enthusiastic phase. Anyhow it is 50+mb. I am hoping if maybe someone has a FTP server somewhere and host it so that RX-8 uber-enthusiasts can download it.

Upload it to a website so people can download it...

ooo yes please! how can i get my hands on that?

Do all the hyperlinks still work in that version?

Place it HERE.
The user name is "open" and the password is "password".

If you do get around to uploading it or anything, thanks in advance. I've been wanting one of the interactive versions.

I have that same version too, though I'm not sure if ALL the links work because I mainly use the PDF version.
But I uploaded it anyway...

Just run the "index.html" file and your browser will open, taking you to the "home page" of the workshop manual.

Very helpful information, thanks guys! Only suggestion I'd make is if someone could zip up that folder so its one file to download.

It takes forever to finish downloading even though its small. 5,000+ files!

This version is interactive. I played around with it on Firefox yesterday. I'll upload it tonight on Mazdamaniac's site.

Glad I can pass this valuable information on. Not like I am leaving my rx-8. It is approaching 6 years old and it drives like Day 1. Love Love Love.

Well this is awesome thanks! Fun to look through all the little bits!

Apparently, someone beat you to it as it is already there.
Feel free to upload another copy, just in case that it is somehow different.

Thanks for freebies!

Thanks a lot!

My only question is, I ftp'ed it to my desktop, and for some reaoson the left sidebar on the program does not work. It opens up a new firefox window, and then you go through that, choose what you want, and once you've chosen what you want, it loads that back on the main firefox page... it's not all on 1 page...

edit:

it does the same thing on the FTP server, so it's not just the fact that it's on my desktop.

Try IE.

Hey brothers, thanks for sharing this vital info. I for one usually just wing it after exhausting my search efforts or ask requests on subjects only a manual could help or reveal.

Thanks

I can get it to run with IE and Chrome, but also had problems with FireFox.

I can't run it from MM's server anymore.
After I uploaded the files for you guys, I no longer have access to his server.
Maybe my IP got blocked

Very tasty. Thank You!

Hi can I still download this?
