I bought this today and it is AWESOME! It costs 9.99 but it IS complete, including body panels



https://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/274330849-mazda-mx-5-miata-mx5-1989-1999-factory-service



The file obviously has been grandfathered a few times but it is of far better quality than the other copied manual from Mellens which I got from a link on the various forums and I believe there are over 700 pages in full included with about 4 additional supplements to upgrade the original



It is in a zipped file, which was not recognized by any program I could find...do NOT install Free Download software for this which they have on their page, it will unzip the file into document form BUT then when you attempt to open the document goes into a continuous loop asking if it can install itself without ever actually doing anything BUT installing itself



This program below (which is also free) opened and saved it flawlessly in My Pictures as a PDF so download and install this first and do NOT download or open the manual until it is installed....all you will get are a lot of messages saying the program cannot be opened.



...trust me on that...I have to go back and clean up my files now as the free download one even though I uninstalled it ,still wants to install itself

Believed zip had been a part of windows for the last 10 years.
Why bother with an external program then?

I have NO idea why, but then I have never seen a RAR zipped file before either. I looked at the protocols on PeaZip and there isn't much there it does NOT cover.
