Hehe... I remember when I got my RX-7 Haynes manual. Poor book has been through so much... it bears the stains of bearing grease, engine oil, antifreeze, break dust, and god knows what else. Good book for quick reference.

yea, getting a FSM would be badass, but right after the FSM comes haynes, so this will defintally hold me over for now. how much can you pick up a FSM for?

Free, you can download it. Printing it out is handy, but it's a few hundred duplex pages (my pet project between busy times at work is printing the whole thing out).

ohh...is that the only way? cause i do have the website that has all of the FSM, and priting would be my only option, minus finding a laptop, and saving it all onto there

You should keep two copies...

One for use in the garage - with grease stains.

One in your library for reading with clean hands before going to the garage.

I just wish there was one for the FD.
