I've searched here and Google to no avail. Perhaps I have the wrong search words being used but I've tried many to no avail.

Is there any PDF alike to what dealers/shops would get that show a diagram of the parts for different areas of the car? I'm trying to track down some small parts that involve plastic snap screws that go on the belly covers underneath the front of the car to get in place of those that are missing.

Also in general it would be nice to see a list or perhaps a master database so we could refer to it when looking for non-performance parts. Seems all you get for results are performance parts and not a parts list in entirety.

You dont have the shop manual ?

are you talking about those plastic tabs/screws that u push in?



This ?

If those are what you are talking about, this car needs A LOT OF THOSE, hmm like 30-40 of them. and its about 75 cents a piece if you buy it outside. and those **** BREAKS EASILY especially when its cold outside.

btw, if thats really what you need, part number is BC1D-56-145

if u're not sure, I can go take a pic of one of them, I brought like 100 of them couple months ago lol

Shop manual, no. Where would one be able to obtain them? If from the dealer I've never ever been given one all my life when purchasing a vehicle whether new or used. But yes for a mechanical nut like myself, a shop manual is definitely something I want. If it goes all the way into the engine details itself that'd be great.

That looks like the plastic screw that was used on the other side I noticed underneath although the diagram there isn't the underbody, the screw looks the same practically. I remember using these in my early racing days to hold panels in, never did again. I'm surprised they resorted to using them, cheap piece of crap in my opinion.

Thanks for the assist.

There's a pdf of the shop manual on Robin Yang's site. Don't remember the url offhand, but it's easy to find by googling.

You can buy a printed copy of the shop manual from a dealer, but it's not cheap.

Some of the places that sell parts on line have the parts catalog on line. I know that I've found it while poking around the parts area at Rosenthal Tyson's Mazda (tysonsmazda.com). Looks like the same pictures that the parts guy brings up when you're working with him to figure out just what it is you need.

There's also a parts catalog (or a link to one) in a thread here. It's not a sticky, so it tends to become visible when someone finds it and adds a post.
