Service / Shop Manual
hi all:
I'm not new to rotary but I am new to this version and I am trying to track down the RX-8 service manual.
On all my previous cars I was able to find a service manual on-line.
I have tried a search but no good hits.
First off I'm looking for all the options from Mazda to eBay.
I'm hoping to find some place I can just download it. Let me explain....I do very little work on my car so I'm really only looking to spend little or nothing if I can. If it works out I do anticipate I will buy the real one, but I'm hoping someone can fill me in on where I can find it.
Thanks in advance,
PM if necessary

But isn't that copyright violation if someone posted it? It's like having one track off a CD free to download because you only wanted to ... oh wait, most people do that anyways.. nm

You can go to http://www.mazdatechinfo.com and browse the service manual for a fee. That way, you can pretty much cherry-pick the chapters you are interested in or even get the whole thing if you have the means to do that.
As I mentioned this in another thread, for those who do not have these means or the patience, just send a private message to Maniac and you might just get what you're looking for :p

I think $90 is reasonable for the shop manual. And more useful than bits and pieces of an online manual or even one downloaded in its entirety. I'd much rather have the book-printed version where It can be kicked around, gotten oil onto, kept in the trunk and live in a shop environment instead of trying to work with a laptop or having to print sections for every repair or maintenance. It also makes a nice item to have tucked in the trunk when you sell.

I did not buy the 'Service Highlights' manual, but the 'Service Manual'. There is a difference.
I also bought the wiring diagram as a seperate part #.

I will also be jumpin' on the $90 Service Manual -- rxeightr is right -- it's the real deal (big, thick honker of a book).
The wiring diagrams are separate (can't remeber how much), but pretty much every other service procedure will be included in the SM.
There is a separate "service highlights" manual that I've seen for about $40-50, IIRC.
