Where to buy Hanes manual or whatever?

I'm looking for a hanes, chiltons, whatever manual for my car, anyone have a clue as to where I could purchase one? I haven't checked Barnes and Noble (the major bookstore around here) but I doubt they'd have one for our car. I have an 88 turbo by the way. I appreciate the help.

Advance Auto Parts has the haynes manual, its like $17.....lots of good stuff in it.....they probably wont have it in stock, but most stores can have it shipped in 1 day.

and the FSM is free at iluvmyrx7.com

And alot more useful, too. The Haynes manul likes to say, "This is too complex for the home mechanic, take it to the dealer".

Eff that, If I break it, the car will probably run without it anyways

Which is probably more effective? I'm having a helluva time getting the intake and turbo off.

The Haynes is nice because it lables things better than the factory manual, has lots of pictures, covers all 86-92 RX-7's, and it is written more for an average person. The factory manual is nice because it has more details and statistics. My recommendation is to use both, and to buy the large factory service manual and wiring diagram if you are going to perform advanced maintenance on your car.
