Blue or Red Haynes
Anyone know the difference between red and blue cover 90-97 Haynes manuals?
I do NOT need to know how superior the Enthusiast's manual is. Thanks. -Phil |

I have the blue cover version... (bought in Canada)
I suspect they are the same book... if you go to the Haynes web-site, and specify that you're in the UK, they will show you a pic of the red book(which shows a left-hand drive white Miata), and the details tell you the book is # 61016, ISBN 1 56392 289 4. These are the same numbers as on my blue book. I have a '94 with ABS, cruise, no A/C... the book does not always have details for my configuration (ie. some of the engine detail covers the 1.6 only) hope this helps, Pete |

If you go to haynes.com, you will see that there is only one 90-97 manual listed, 61016. The red version was printed in 1998. It seems logical to assume that the blue version is an unrevised new printing, with a modified cover in secret hopes of lulling at least some people into buying a manual they already own. http://www.haynes.com/na101.html#anchor565073 >I do NOT need to know how superior the Enthusiast's manual is. You are not the only one reading this group. The Enthusiast Manual is a lot more expansive, and that is while it has versions specific to the 90-93 and 94-97. In addition, some errors in the Haynes manual have been pointed out here over time. > Thanks. -Phil Leon -- Leon van Dommelen Bozo, the White 96 Sebring Miata .) http://www.dommelen.net/miata EXIT THE INTERSTATES (Jamie Jensen) |

Thanks for the info. I always planned on getting the Enthusiast's Manual
too. It is just that when trying to find out the difference between blue/red Haynes the response was always "don't buy it". I don't know why everyone would not want a second set of photos and instructions to help clarify a procedure. -Phil (wife's email) "Diane" > wrote in message news > Anyone know the difference between red and blue cover 90-97 Haynes > manuals?

Is there a similar manual for the NB models or are the later models not very
enthusiast? Also, it looks like the red/blue covers differentiate between the 1.6 and 1.8 liter engines.

Perhaps... but in section 24 when they advise how to fully drain and flush the cooling system by removing a drain plug on the side of the block, they DON'T mention that this pertains only to the 1.6 and that the 1.8 has NO drain plug... at least none that I could find. I've run across a few other omissions as well. Pete |
