Need To Buy A Shop Manual- Can't Find Any!
as it says in the subject- I have been looking for a shop manual for my 1994 rx. I know someone posted it in .pdf format but want an actual paper one from my year. Any help is appreciated. I checked Mazda motorsports but I cannot order because only one competition under my belt not 2 as needed for stock parts....

i scanned in my 94 manual which I bought from the dealer for about $100. I did not need any mazdacomp discount to purchase it, I just bought it from the dealer.
The scan is good quality and I printed out a couple of pages and compared them to the originals, and it was nearly identical. I was gonna run OCR on it so that I could text search the manual instead of flipping thought the 2000 pages. I thought it would be cool to set up a crappy computer in my garage to view the manual and diagrams and stuff like that with, but that never happened.
oh yeah... i also saw a couple of ones sold on ebay, I think that a company has an inventory of them and are selling them on ebay one by one, so if you cant find any, or cant find your year, then check who the person selling them is and ask them if they have any for your year. I found this out when i purchased a 1995 wiring diagram from them (thinking it was close enough to my 1994). Then the next week I saw they were selling a 1994 wiring diagram.
