I just remembered that the folks at Ground Zero were asking about getting a service manual from for our cars. They said it's like $75 from the dealership, not one of those repair manuals from Auto Zone. If we can give them that, they can do some of the bigger work on our cars like internal engine work. Can't remember the other details, but I'm sure Brian and Andrew remember some stuff that I don't.

 

I myself have been looking for a shop manual for the lancer .. but havent been able to find one. I wonder what years and models this one includes? 75 bucks is kinda steep .. but if its an actual mitsu service manual, it could be worth it .. you should check what years and models it will include ..?

 

Got the factory manual myself. Have used it to rip out/build up/reinstall my engine. I'd say it is a must have. There are electronic/mechanical/technical bits in there that i know will not appear in any hane's/chilton's manual. Plus the factory book is not just one book it is 3 thick *** books for $75. Covering every minute detail on the car.

 

boe: Where did you get yours? I called my dealership a few months ago and they told me $150

 

wow.. on my integra I paid 50$ canadian (about 35$US) for the service manual.. official from Acura!

150$ is like way to much $$$..

Maybe someone can buy it, and photocopy it (mitsubishi people, please close your eyes) :-)

Got mine at Mitsubishi dealership in EL Cajon, CA. I think it was actually $85 but not $150. That was in the beginning 2002. Now that the new model is out, updates made, and demand higher they may have raised it?

 

I'm gonna stop by my Mitsu dealership here in Oregon after work .. I'll see what I can get for info on this... (plus I have a $50 gift certificate there .. and its not time for oil yet :P)

 

they are gonna look into this for me .. will update.

Boe : you dont have a pic/scan of the cover of one of those manuals do ya?

 

ill mail it 2 em on cd i got it all from dealer the whole tech mans

 

hmm very cool. I know someone with it. Sounds like it can hel someone a great deal. ill check it out...PEace!

 

i got my galant service manual for hella cheap. i forgot the ocmpanies name but they bought the eclipse and glant service manuals and scanned them bad boys into pdf format. and sold em on cd's for 30 a pop. they are only meant to supplement the people with the manual only but u know ur still gonna buy it even if u don't have the paper version. i like it cuz i don't mess up the paper version working on my car. just print out the pages i need and take it with me to the garage

 

helloooo, I work for Mits. you coulda just asked me, i have like 4 of them.....I'll bring one when we hook up Jon, Late!

 

<reminds himself of stupidity>

Good idea, Steve.

 

that will be cool. i would like to just browse through it for a few min. steve, if you could hook us up with one of those things cheap, we could bring it to ground zero whenever we wanted motor work done, like putting in cams or pistons. i really want a cam, but i dont got the skillz.

 

insane...my dealer just quoted me $214.50 that's insane!!!!
