I thought one of the Mazsport kits moved it to near the catch can area near where the wiper fluid used to be...

Or was the the Pettit S/C...

I still need to do that AND relocate my battery...ugh

mazsport doesn't relocate them, I think it was pettit

yep,

i did not see anything in your intake smoothing job.. i am sgt. shultz..

but, i still have the stock wiper fluid holder.. none of that new fangled psi enhancer stuff..

i think i am going to hang it off the air pump bracket. i still have that, or it goes down below.. got to go under the car anyway..

btw, could you get the rr to happen in sept again?

some guys have mounted it on the fenderwell. if anyone does that use real stainless lines. the header is on that side also and you really dont want a leak there.
alas no rr per nasa. and the only thing i could come up with is a end of the sept event at Road Atlanta with the bmw boys. That would be too far for yall to drive. although if you have ever ran on RA you would never forget it.
NASA had to cancel their oct event (was to be at barber) i am watching that to see if they reschecule somewhere.

Here is where I mounted mine. Its easy to get to and you can fit a rag under it when changing the filter.

Its upside-down in the OEM location so Mazda doesn't think you need to prefill it.

I believe that's what he meant. Vertical with the filter on the bottom.

The problem is space. I'd love to move mine but I don't mind scraping up my wrists a few times a year.

i know mazda doest think so but i thought aftermarket parts are to improve things. just moving it to the side, i dont see any real affect.

Excuse my ignorance, but what difference does it make if you prefill?
I never thought it mattered?
