Free 3rd Gen FD Workshop Manual. Wrong forum, with reasons!

Yup, I know, wrong forum…. But I have my reasons.

I feel I know you guys in this forum, and trust you to find a good home for this manual, much more than simply throwing it on the 3rd gen forum. Would love this to go to someone that REALLY needs it and would put it to good use, someone that has less means than myself, and for whom this would be a big help.

Can anyone suggest anyone?

That is a very important manual.. It has the proper compression test figures in it.

Generous of you to hand it out.

Happy New Year.


(P.S. post a pick of the compression test pages (maybe C9~12?))

I would take it to love and cherish it and upload it to the internet... and never open it again. Books should be read, cars driven, etc etc. Thank you for posting and I hope it goes to a good home!

I would love to take this from you if you don't mind though I am not apart of the 1st Gen Forums. Let me know and I'll be willing to pay for shipping or if you're local, i'll pick it up.

Manual has a new owner. Found a local guy on a Bay Area RX7 forum. Sorry I only had one.

Is it different from this one? I got it from the FSM on foxed.ca which is also a 1994 edition

Bingo. The base line pressure of 100 psi is correct. the original USDM (1993) had the carry over figure from the FC3S at 85 psi. All other FD FSM had 100 psi from the beginning (Oct. 1991).

Between the FC and the FD Mazda added 100 hp essentially coming from the same keg hardware. This might be why they increased the spec to 100 psi

(Or they found too many FD soon failing at 85 psi and below.)
