Title: Full Mazda workshop manuals on cd, £1
Post by: dandan on July 22, 2005, 04:21:20 PM
Hey everyone,
I have just forked out the huge sum of £4.50 for a CD on ebay with stacks and stacks and stacks of info on Mazda RX7\'s, workshop manuals etc.
I haven\'t looked at it yet so i better check it is all good stuff, but i reckon what with me being a nice person, i could knock up a copy for anyone who wants one?
need to cover cost of a cd, so the simplest way i can think of is if you post me a quid taped to bit of paper in an envelope, and i\'ll send you back a CD!
Is there a better way to conduct the transaction? paypal maybe?
if i get a few requests and after i have checked out the info on the cd, i\'ll post up my address for people to send the dosh to.

I think it covers all generations of RX too, 1\'s, 2\'s and 3\'s!
Any takers?

this is true mike

i have the EPC sat on my desk - maybe someone could put them all together - sell them for £5 and the club gets the profits - just not sure on the legal side of all this !!

copyright infringements are not good things to associate with the club I think.

The factory manuals on the iluvmyrx7.com are for the US models - it would be good to know if the Jap spec ones are knocking about somewhere.

Although I suspect they may be written in Japanese!

i had a quick peek through the cd and i think i saw a diagram of a left hooker interior so i feel i may well have the US spec ones, sorry!

If someone could point in the direction of either the UK or Jap workshop manuals on the net, that would be very helpful, but I am only aware of the US manuals being available for nowt. Which are much better than nothing, but obviously not all that helpful for RHD specific things.

There are at least a couple of sellers on eBay selling the UK Mazda parts CDs, which cover all Mazdas for the last 15 years or so, including the UK FDs. I found this to be quite helpful in some instances, especially when deciding whether to go to the main dealer for a part, as most of the prices are listed on it. How about a standard RX-7 front strut brace? £550 plus VAT from your friendly Mazda dealer! :eek
