Manuals?

Post by scofflaw »

Any suggestions on the best manual to get for a 93 MX3?<P>I have used those Hayes and Chilton manuals for other vehicles and they seemed to provide enough information for me.<P>There is CD manual on Ebay, but wondered what is the most common and useful.<P>Thanks.

I have a 94 RS and I think by far the OEM shop manual is the best. I have all the other manuals as well ;)

OEM Shop manual... especially if you plan to do your own stuff to your car.<P>Chiltons I have... that sits in the back of my passenger seat... used it maybe 3 times... I use the online manual here more... I love the exploded view if things... makes things easier to look at and fix.

Do you get the OEM Shop manual from the dealer?

OEM Shop Manual is the best. You can also get a separate Electric components Manual. Thay all go by VIN number. You can get one from the dealer, but expect to pay a good premium there. I would suggest eBay, have seen them there often and ata reasonable price. Also you can access a lot of it online atJeff Abrams' Mx-3/Miata Page
Good luck.
