NeoFuture Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 is there no haynes manual for the 93 supra ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew7 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I think you'll find a lot of the manufacturers now enforce copyright on their production tolerances etc etc and will not supply Haynes with any specs or info., therefore Haynes won't even have a go at putting out an inferior manual. Just another ploy to try and get you to the main dealer instead of you being able to do it yourself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it more likely that they didn't bother making a manual for a car that only sold a few hundred in this country? They don't seem to have a problem making workshop manuals for other, newer, Toyotas. They're not very good anyway. the one I got for my Mrs' Freelander was like : To replace head gasket: Open drivers door. Pull the handle towards you after unlocking the car. Locate bonnet release lever in the drivers footwell. Pull lever. Raise bonnet and secure in place with bonnet support arm. Remove cylinder head and fit new gasket. Installation is the reverse of removal. Well ok it wasn't that bad but it was wasn't great. For anything complicated it just told you to take it to a Landrover dealer!

Daston Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I had the same problem finding one for a Mk2 MR2 sent them an email and they said its based on the amout of cars sold anualy hence why you dont see ones for Nobles/TVRs etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try getting one for a post '88 Mazda 626 (which they sold bucketloads of in this country).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 i always thought it was done by how many cars were built & sold. I was never able to get a manual for the MGF as they didnt build enough of them for Haynes to bother making a book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 CJ has been providing some very comprehensive MKIV repair manuals lately. Look here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=59335&highlight=MKIV+manuals B® Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told me Mazda wouldn't give them any specs or allow them to print anything of Mazda origin etc etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
