Manuals?
Any suggestions on the best manual to get for a 93 MX3?<P>I have used those Hayes and Chilton manuals for other vehicles and they seemed to provide enough information for me.<P>There is CD manual on Ebay, but wondered what is the most common and useful.<P>Thanks.

Re: Manuals?
I have a 94 RS and I think by far the OEM shop manual is the best. I have all the other manuals as well

OEM Shop manual... especially if you plan to do your own stuff to your car.<P>Chiltons I have... that sits in the back of my passenger seat... used it maybe 3 times... I use the online manual here more... I love the exploded view if things... makes things easier to look at and fix.

Re: Manuals?
Do you get the OEM Shop manual from the dealer?
Re: Manuals?
OEM Shop Manual is the best. You can also get a separate Electric components Manual. Thay all go by VIN number. You can get one from the dealer, but expect to pay a good premium there. I would suggest eBay, have seen them there often and ata reasonable price. Also you can access a lot of it online atJeff Abrams' Mx-3/Miata Page
Good luck.
