Your best bet to find repair and owners manuals is the internet. Try searches for ’rx8 repair manuals’ etc. Also, search for a Mazda RX8 internet forum. Car forums can be a good source of parts and information. You might even try some Mazda dealership parts departments for the owner’s manual or even service manuals. They may still have some around or be able to get them. As for getting a title, you will have to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles in your state for information on how to obtain it. Laws and requirements vary state to state.
