anyone knows where i can get the 2010 rx-8 service repair manual ive been looking all over the web and havent found anything?

The series 1 manual should do just fine in almost all cases, just use that one. Look at the similar threads at the bottom of this or search yourself.

You wont find one anywhere, and they are not the same as S1...but the majority of spec info is.

You can purchase from a Mazda Dealer in paper back or pay on-line.

Yea I know it wouldn't be 100% the same but for most things it should be correct right?

People on ebay sell the service manual for very cheap, probably illegal copies but it is what it is.

This is a fairly comprehensive list of all the changes to Series 2's..
There are a number or OE parts which will not install or be removed or have the same torque specs or just won't fit as S1 Manual says...CAN system is also different.

well i just want to change the clutch set because the disc got burned, does any 1 know if the clutch set for the 08 is the same one for 2010?

ASH8

NO..

Clutch Plate and Pressure Plate are the same..

But the Thrust Bearing or Throw Out Bearing or Collar Release or Fork Bearing is different to 2008 or Series 1 RX-8's.

As mentioned in the link above I gave you..NONE of the OE Series 2 Parts are interchangeable singularly with the Series 1 by design.

i always wonder if the s2 oil coolers would fit on s1. mounting points probably the same but just not sure if its gonna block the bumper or anything else. if its really plug and play then when my oil cooler hose fails i gonna grab them all with rb lines and install everything at the same time

That website (although very good) has only one PDF on '2009 RX-8 Service Highlights' (which I sent him).

Hey Jackson!

Yeah, I gave it some thought, all of the Oil Coolers and parts (hoses, mount brackets) are S2 specific.
Modifying?, well a different matter, yep, would need to look at lines in-out of your engine...that could/can be solved.

The actual Oil Cooler's, not so sure, at a guess I think they are the same surface size as S1, but different fittings, internal thermostat and mounts...Don't know if they would clear the opening around ducts and bumper without some FAB work.
Can't remember IF you have Fog Lights or not, frankly better without them for better air flow.

Anyway mate, give it a try and let us all know, if and when.

$1100 for two new S2 OE Oil Coolers.

I bought a 2010 RX-8 Workshop Manual from Mazda Motorsports for $150 plus shipping and tax. It is a massive stack of 3-hole drilled paper. It fits into a pair of large 3-ring binders (one 3" and one 4") which you'll have to supply yourself. I don't know if Mazda Motorsports will sell to non-members but you can probably order the manual through a Mazda dealer.

That "service highlights" document is really more of a "technical features summary" than anything you could use to actually work on the car.

/\ Correct, a proper factory manual from a Mazda Dealer or MM is in paper form, 3 ringed and about 8 inches thick.

'Service Highlights', are for techs to tell them basically what changed between series (when released)...that is all it does.
