1979-1995 Rx-7 CD-ROM

Hey guys, I've recently come across a CD-ROM containing all the parts for all rx7s from 1979-1995. It also has the tech specs for these cars. If any one wants to look into this ive made up a makeshift "web page" and i use the term lightly. click on the link and if you want one or if you have any questions feel free to email me. Here is the link. Rx-7 CD-ROM

there are 9 catagories on the disc....79-80, 81-83, 84-85, 86-88, 89-90, 91-92, 93, 94, and 95. now for example the 79-80 has 6 directories....79 tech data, 80 tech data, 79-80 engine, 79-80 chassis, 79-80 body and 79-80 index. i hope you get the point. its not just 1 pic like on the "web page" that is only a SAMPLE pic. hope this helps you.

may be if you would lower the price to like $20.00~$22.00 with shipping. I would buy one. CD'Rs don't cost that much.

I just sent you an email. I am curious if this information is organized into any sort of Mazda program, or just in directories. Thanks.

TTT was selling them for like $5 a while back, and he had year specific cds.

I think that the discs that i have are gonna be pretty close to what you have 1FastT2. if any of you guys looked at the sample page i have on the link above, thats pretty much what all the pages look like. its not a "program", as 1FastT2 said this will also require acrobat reader to view it. its thousands and thousands of scanned pages put into files and organized by year, engine, body and so on. there is also an index and zoom feature, you can print a page or the whole file for future refrence. this disc is not a repair manual its better to describe it as a guide. there are a ton of pics on how the car goes together. this is the same thing that the dealer uses when looking for part numbers or tech specs, only they have to look through the microfiches to find what they need. hope this clears some things up.

Let me see here, this disc you have is a Mazda copyrighted piece of software? And you are selling copies of it for $25 ? Correct me if Im wrong but thats kinda illegal... Not that I care but there are hundreds of people all over the internet selling so called 'back-ups' of software for like $3/disc... I got the same disc the dealer has, costed me a double whopper with cheese and some fries, from a guy that worked at the dealership... If you are selling copies of this, Id be carefull

How much is your time worth??

I bought this disc off of e-bay. I paid $26 delivered. I am happy with what I received. Whoever put this together took a lot of time to scan and organize this disc. It is a great reference. While some people may have hours to spend doing this - ask yourself "How much is your time worth?" Don't knock the guy for his good old fashioned entrepreneurial spirit.

MIKE-P-29,this disc was put together by an individual taking a loooooooong time to do so. it is not a "copyrighted piece of software" as far as i know. there are no copyrights on any of the pages that are scanned(that i have seen). so i do not think this is an illegal copy. if it were copyrighted i would not be selling it especially since my wife is an MP(military police) in the army. but if any one does know of anything about this disc that is copyrighted please let me know because the last thing i want to do is spend the new year behind bars. 3Rotor, thanks
