Uhh ohh, Hows your compression?



Nice pics by the way.

FB03-61-211... hose fails a lot, it gets oil on it

hopefully will have a chance to check compression this week. also, are there any full replacement hose kits in colors? id like to swap them all out soon, even better if i had a variety of colors to choose from. thx for part# tho, maybe ill just have to get black again.

something else i got...compare!:

wow, although i dont have anything helpful to say, you do take nice pictures.

they're pretty =P

thanx!

talked to a guy that does 1st gens about 45 minutes from me and he said the particles (or fragments) might just be from the cheapo (probably ebay garbage) mufflersthat were put on by last owner. he thinks since the 7 runs so hot it burns out whatever is in there, and it was getting stuck behind the silencers. hes gonna take a look at it sometime this week hopefully (same guy im going to check compression at). heres a pic of the mufflers:

ok checked pricing at 2 places, mazdatrix and atkins rotary. mazdatrix lists fb03-61-2110 as non-turbo heater hose and fb01-61-211c as the turbo heater hose (http://www.mazdatrix.com/bhose2.htm). atkins lists the same hoses, but swaps the applications (fb03-211 for turbo and fb01-211c for n/a) (http://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/cu...me.php?cat=472).



who is backwards?

why do those wheels resemble rx8 wheels very closely haha...
