I checked it before I drove to work today, was only down half a cm. So it's not losing much.

Well that seems pretty normal for my car even lol. Does it still have the stock hose clamps or did you put worm gear clamps on there? If you have worm gear on there, it may have eaten through the hose (depending on how tight it is) and just seeps or sprays out. Just spitballing here. Or did you spill some near the turbos or something? I mean, if it's leaking you would have a lot less than that.

Oh btw, due to a miscommunication, Simon sold that Supra pump. After I told him you wanted it, I asked if he had two because I was going to buy the other one, and he said no. He thought I was asking for it on your behalf so he sold it last night. Sorry man.

yeah ill figure it out, hopefully taking off the heat shielding and junk ill be able to see the issue.

Its ok about the pump, im really short on money right now with buying the wheels. I have to wait til next paycheck to order rubber bits for em haha.

I did something....

Are you showing a problem or just that you did some work? LOL Just curious. At first I thought that split in the metal casing was a problem, but then realized that might be fine, I don't remember what it looks like lol. I have all that stuff if you need any replacement parts.

Oh speaking of which, when I was looking at parts on Mazdatrix last night, I looked at the stock fuel rails...$1000+ for the secondary rail and $900+ for the primary.

I'M RICH! LOL

At leas the banjo connection isn't as bad as a rubber hose. You just need 2 new copper crush washers and you're all set.

I wish i could go single, i just spent all my fun money on the 18x9.5 grids on the previous page. I broke a few studs though, its gunna be a pain in the butt.

speedjunkie · Postby **speedjunkie** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 9:14

I have to say, I'm not at all surprised that some studs broke lol.

chickenwafer · Postby **chickenwafer** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 9:14

I broke a stud on my turbo manifold haha, they get so brittle.

JTurton7 · Postby **JTurton7** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 9:14

ok so. I ordered some Viton O-Rings instead of mazda parts because I wanted some rubber that would last alot longer. The throttle body size I got spot on.

That should seal quite nicely. I got the Y-Pipe one a little big it looks like, so im going to take another stab in the dark and get one size smaller.

I have an extra TB Viton O-ring 5 dolla, or some beer haha

edit: nvm i realized the pack of 2 was 4.95... so ill just say free to a good home

VRx8 · Postby **VRx8** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 9:14

speedjunkie · Postby **speedjunkie** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 9:14

Oh I thought you got stock o-rings made with viton. Wow, good call on the TB lol. I don't NEED that o-ring so I'll pick it up for Eduardo or something since I forgot to get it from you on Friday lol.
