The gasket from your used manifold is missing material and we won't be sure of your current one until we pull it.
OnlineMazdaParts has it for $85.49 and the p/n is N3H313111A

Well... just to add to that ever-growing list, might want to consider a new intake manifold gasket (the large one that seals the manifold against the engine).

Meet
I would love to meet all of you. I have only met Doc & TJ Thus far. But I am dropping the car at the race shop that morning to get it prepped, and I will be without wheels for a day....that day.
I look forward to meeting all of you soon, though.

As Mr. Vyn said and I have mentioned, I have the Lebron endlinks. $55 for the rears (I believe they cost the same for the fronts too) SO you can probably get away with adjustable links on all four corners for $110
And btw, I am low, like low low....
Here's with the car at an autocross, the front end is loaded right now in a braking zone so the rear is slightly higher then normal (about 3/4")
I beat the **** out of my car every weekend at autocrosses (as well as my co-driver) Plus the roads I travel aren't exactly the smoothest out there.
Trust me, these endlinks are great.![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Ohio Has 14 More Counties Meeting Smog Standard
Check out what I found of Fox8's website ![Rock](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/rock.gif)
Does this mean that e-checks may be eliminated for us (or most)?

Ohio Has 14 More Counties Meeting Smog Standard
By Associated Press Staff Writer
3:43 PM EDT, September 15, 2009
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says 14 more Ohio counties with a history of air pollution now satisfy air quality standards for smog.
The agency has approved a request to designate eight counties in the Cleveland area and six counties in the Columbus area as now meeting federal air quality standards from 1997.
A new, stricter air standard was adopted in 2008 nationally, and it's possible that parts of Ohio and other states will not reach the standard when new federal classifications come out next year.
The counties the EPA approved on Tuesday in the Cleveland area are Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit.
The counties in the Columbus area are Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Knox, Licking and Madison.

Well, I heard on the radio that these "new" standards that were put into place in 2008 indicate that Ohio still falls short and that the lady from the EPA believes that legislation in Congress this spring, march, will make some for of e-check federal law in all 50 states.

Anyway, the acne scarred child who was their acting finance manager for the day starts in on the Nissan ester based super oil that was "required" for the 370, which was available only from Nissan and which would run about $80 an oil change. We therefore need the service plan. I'm skeptical and mark "reject" on the little form. The wife goes nuts . . . and we end up with the plan, though I negotiated them down to about half of what they wanted to charge us for it and got them to throw in the tire protection plan that they were also pushing.
When we take delivery of the car a few days later I crack open the owner's manual and find that the ester is "recommended" and the only requirement is that an SAE oil be used.

I also realize my wife is better at business than I thought. The cost of the plan goes into the monthly payment that I make, whereby she would've been paying maintenance out of her pocket.

It got worse at the dealer, the truck takes 6.1 quarts. The coupon was for 6 quarts. So they charged me $6 more for the extra quart. Then said they would never match that again. So it cost me 20.95 instead of 14.95. I still can't do it for that. Apparently, neither could they. Duh.

Fixed that annoying rattle last night that I had after the midpipe install when I picked up the boat. It appears that there is a metal shield that goes between the driveshaft and exhaust for some reason. I think it was designed to keep crud from getting up into the driveshaft but why it was above the exhaust is beyond me. Anywho...with the help of a persuasion tool and a lift we were able to get it fixed. I have about 1/2" now of clearance so no more annoying rattle for me. Now to find some way of altering the exhaust shrouds to not rattle against the exhaust tips and Ill be all set.
