Want a Haynes manual for your Miata/MX-5

Sep 29, 2003 8 Replies

Hi All



I contacted Haynes via their website enquiring if/when they proposed publishing a manual for the biggest selling roadster. Their reply is attached. Perhaps if they got enough requests they might think about it.



Haynes might not be the best manuals in the world but it is nice to have some idea of roadwheel torques and how to remove trim, dashboard etc. without causing damage.

Just get the manual from Mazda. It will be much, much better and pay for itself the first time you use it.

Gee, Hugh. I happen to have a copy of the Haynes "Mazda MX-5 Miata Automotive Repair Manual (1990-97)". Must come from a parallel universe. Probably fell through the event horizon opened up by the Miata going 137 mph.

The Enthusiast Manual is better and costs about the same, anyway.

Contrary to rumors, there are people who have an M2...

-Joe (RED '99 M2)

I for one have never quite figured out why?

Gus (91 BRG)

I grew up with Chilton's manuals. Never have taken to Haynes.

Doug

Contrary to rumors, the M2 is not the biggest selling roadster.

Leon

Which one is the biggest selling toadster?

That's a good idea, so long as ya don't mind being dinged for about

125 bucks.
