These links are directly from the sticky on top of this forum's page.

If you want a hard copy you are gonna have to fork out the money for it or download it and print it out... depending on your year it could be hundreds or even a 1000+ pages. Maybe try ebay I see them for auction sometimes fairly cheap.

Click on factory manuals. $55 for the "small" book, $85 for the large. Small and large only refers to page size. I didn't know Mazdaformance had them and bought mine from Mazdatrix last year for about $70. It's well worth the investment.

Sorry guys should have said looking for hard copy. Thanks for the links though good stuff to read while at work. Maybe I can print 1000+ pages at work.

JerryLH3 which version do you have? If it's the small is it big enough or should I go with the large?

Thanks guys.

It's plenty big, not like pocket size or anything. The big ones would be much easier to copy if need be. Remember, the big ones do not include wiring diagrams, the smaller ones do.

Unless you want to have the service manual in a binder, want to copy some pages, or only want a page or two on the workbench while working, I'd go with the small one. Cheaper, and it has the wiring diagrams.
