I noticed something since a long time... my fuel tank is under "pressure" !
a friend of mine told me that a problem might occure with the tank "pressure compensating valve"

May someone help me to resolve this problem (if there really is a problem) ?

Yip your tank is under pressure - you will have a problem if you take a fuel line off in the engine bay and go away - don't ask me how i know !!@!!

I was told the bottom bolt on on the driver's side.

I use a small "brake bleeder" hand held vacuum pump with a 1/8 inch diameter hose to reach the bottom of the blower through the dipstick/fill hole.

Much less mess my way.

Exclamation Broken Parts !!!! HELP !!!

HELLLLLP !!
I install the greddy oil filter relocation kit...I turn the car on.... and while warming, I heard "CHTAK" !!
I turn off the car and have oil all over the engine (and the floor)

Ok, so what broke : the screw where the oil filter used to be broke into the greddy "plate".
I do not know why ... I might have done something wrong (the oil pressure at iddle was 5psi instead of 2).

My questions : where can I buy this part ? what is the name of this part ?
I hope to fix it as soon as possible !

the most difficult thing is to locate the correct item number / name.
I know someone that may be able to do one for me but it really won't be like the OEM part.

N3H1-14-311A might be the part you need. If you don't have the factory service manual, your best bet might be to go to the local Mazda dealer parts department and they will show you a picture of the part so you can be sure you are buying the right piece.

On the other hand, asking the right guys if they have some extra engine pieces might yield unexpected results..............

Did I read somewhere in this thread that there is metal under tray available? The stock under-tray developed a crack and I had to remove the Pettit secondary radiator cuz I was afraid that it would drag the ground.

phil--just get a sheet of thin aluminum from lowes, home depo etc and use small bolts or rivets to reinforce the plastic.
you are a high speed freak (said with affection) and scooping all that air at high speeds is putting more stress on that underpanel.
