Re: service manual
Whatever happened to the online shop manual that was on mx-3.com? I was just looking for it, and can't find it anymore??

Re: service manual
Jeff had to take it down. The Mazda Gods pitched some kind of copyright fit even though the damn thing is out of print I hear. I bought a hardcopy factory shop manual after that happened and kick myself to this day for not burnin a CD when I had the chance. Too bad all that tedious PDF scan effort went wasted too...
Re: service manual
I am looking for a '93 Mazda MX-3 service manual. I can go to the dealer and pay $150 to get one but I am looking for some after market manuals. Having a hard time finding a good one. I find the Chilton's manual lacks the thoroughness that a car manual needs. Any leads would be great...thanks!

Re: service manual
Go with the Mazda factory workshop manual. You can find em for a lot less than $150. I paid $80 on the Web a couple of years back for the full factory one + $10 more for the body electrical troubleshooting supplement manual. Here's two links with the 93 for less than that.

This next one you'll have to select Mazda/1993 then scroll to the second page of listings.

Re: service manual
I bought my 93 service manual + wiring + electrical troubleshooting from books4cars.com. Think it came in at around $140 + shipping. Very good service so I can recommend them to anyone looking for manuals.
And like perhapsadingo8yerbaby said, do get the Mazda factory manuals. Best service manual I've seen.
