so my 8 keeps looseing her coolant. im not 100% on whats going on.. but its like every 3 days it will be on L or way below. ill fill it back up to F but it some how vanishes again. i dont see any under the car or on anything but i can smell coolant real strong. but the engine does run hot so idk if its all evaperating before i can catch it on anything.. but mazda says they will haft to charge me $69.00 just to check it out. so idk what to do or whats going on..

No antifreeze in oil. Car runs great! No performance issues at all. And car seems to run a lil warmer than normal. but since the gauges are on a on/off switch kinda hard to tell the temp. Did notice today behind the coolant res (between it and battery box) Looks like dried up coolant kinda. Almost like a very thin dusty toothpaste. Not sure whats going on now. Taking her car in tmrw at 930AM to nelson on memorial. So if anyone in that neighborhood, drop in and say hey. Im sure I will be there a lil while. Will be posting back with results. Hope its just a pin hole in hose or sumthin.

So... Talked with Bryan at BNR today... They are still waiting on a bearing assembly thingy. I guess the maker is not being very forthcoming with the part.... I want my car back sooo much. Oh well I guess I'll just keep accumulating more things to install when I get it back.

Sure, I'll bring it all! Carlos said he is going to start in on it tomorrow, so hoping he gets it all together by Thursday. Running the water cooling crap doesn't seem to hard, and I made sure to give him as much info on it as I could. I want my car!

I have everything being here no later than Friday except the Evo-R endlinks. I am still trying to get a hold of them. I have emailed them and called multiple times but no response. They better have them here by Friday or I am going to be pissed!!! I ordered them last Wednesday and I would think that having them here this Friday at the latest wouldnt be a hard task! I am going to keep trying to call them today. Once those come in we are ready for my suspension. The shocks and sways are supposed to arrive today or tomorrow. As for the AEM Cold Air, I am calling them today as well to see when it is supposed to be here. If it doesnt make it in time, that is ok, I can do that one at my house
