Mazdatrix Abs Elimination
#1
I'll post pics when I bring the camera in (potty break) Needless to say it's a hose (rear disc brake line to be exact) and a T. They are both Mazda OEM parts. The instructions are simple. Bridge the line from the MBC ® that goes to the ABS and use the hose to put that line and the line that runs to the rear together.. Simple yes... now the other three connections need to be T'd. Mind you that the brake lines are in no way bent to allow such a thing. I'm pretty sure hand manipulating the lines isn't an advisable thing. The good news is lots more room I can get to two of the downpipe bolts (top ones duh) easy and along with access to the turbo goods and LIM. Should be nice for the extra space. I removed mine because it was leaking and I wanted the space. Downside is I'll probably be redoing the setup and doing it so that the lines are ran better. I got k2RD speed bleeders but have yet to bleed the system yet still doing other stuff.
side note.. Koyo radiator went in tonight.. and I found my exhaust leak.. hrmm.. is only 1 bolt suppose to hold the turbo on so I need more nutz.. and lock washers.. maybe lock tite.. some super glue.. elmers glue.. whacky taffy whatever it takes to keep them on...
pics to follow later tonight I need to go remove my LIM and put a fresh gasket on it and remove my ericfabbed split air block off and put the k2rd one on (whatever it takes to eliminate possible vacuum leak spots i'm doing it)

You can see the T and the brake line in this pic.. pretty pathetic.. but it should work

like a glove.. I don't have the fan shroud on yet (still debating on purchasing an electric fan and making a custom shroud or not.
basically you slap the mounts onto the Koyo and put it in. nothing else. The only issue I found is not to tighten everything just start each bolt and then after all are in then tighten it down.
