found a 626 manifold with egr tube for a pretty good deal. Going to get that ported and polished might do it myself or might just bolt it up? Swapped over to my winter set up changed oil. I think thats it for now.

I put an AEM cold air intake on almost a month ago. Makes my IAT as close to AMB as possible:) and adds a little more noise (definitly not as bad as the K&N).

Oh and got a new battery...dealer wanted $200 bucks:eek: I ended up paying $120 for the battery and labor.

Not sure what I will do next. Everytime I get some extra money, I always spend it on performance mods, maybe next time I will get some clear corners.

Next up on the list is a throw out bearing and a clutch release cylindre...... McDonald wants me to put the stock clutch and flywheel in before they will diagnose it..... They did the freaking tranny come on now..... TSB's are only done under Basic Warranty I guess... in my eyes Warranty means Warranty.... It's still under powertrain Warranty which includes Tranny. WARRANTY......

They wanted e to spend like $1400 to put the stock parts in..... I'm buying the throwout bearing for like $30 and the Clutch master cylinder for about $50 form Mazdatrix...... Me and my brother are just gonna pull the thing out and fix it..... screw messing with warranty stuff anymore.... Mazda doesn't want to help..... warranty ends in Feb anyways...... as long as I don't have anyore Random missfires with the flash Jimmy at burt did I should be good.
