I think i've heard of that one, but I was wondering if there was anything model specific, or is the haynes manual just the best one to get?

I think it's best before a repair to look at the FSM, Haynes, and the forums. They will all contribute different diagrams and perspectives. The FSM will have the least info on little **** like how to get a specific bolt off, but it will have the most specs and probably the best procedures for diagnosing problems.

As stated, you should get both the haynes and FSM. The Haynes isn't too much, and you get it at any auto parts store. Many times it will have to be ordered, though. The FSM can be downloaded from many different sites listed in the faqs. Don't get the Chilton guide, its a worthless piece of ****. For example, there is less than one page on removing the center console on all Mazda's made between 1978 and 1989.

I don't think anyone has ever scanned an owner's manual and posted it online.

I'll probably be doing that within the next few days. I see a lot of requests for them and I have a lot of extra time at my job. Hope people ******* appreciate it...



Speaking of though... I'll need a host... So pm me if someone can host it (reliably).
