Go to AutoZone and buy one for less than $30. The procedure has been mentioned many many times on the forum.

I'm sure it's in here:

well if you really wanted to you could go to mazdatrix and pick the $1600 digital Mazda Compression Tester, but i think that's a little extreme.

you can find used ones for around forty dollars. There is a guy in Europe who sells them. I bought one, it's great.
To use a conventional tester use my name and "compression" in the search, first and second gen forums.
