How many radiator hoses does an RX8 have?
Hey guys, looking for some quick help here. I recently had a radiator hose crack and start leaking fluid in the garage. I went online and ordered a 2 piece silicon replacement kit with upper and lower hoses. I was going out of town and my buddy said he would replace them for me while I'm gone. He calls me yesterday and says that there's a 3rd hose! I've searched the forums and the repair manuals and the internet - everybody sells 2 piece kits and all I see are a single upper and lower hoses. He sends me the following link that shows a 3 piece kit - what's the deal here? I don't want to send back my 2 peice kit - I just need that 3rd piece - its the very top one that goes straight down into the top of the motor near the thermastat. Its a 2004 with 58,000 miles.
Any help would be great.

Shouldn't my kit have included that? Cause it didn't? Plus the pictures of the kits don't show that extra part. Picture on the site shows two hoses - Here's the kit I bought: http://www.mazdaspeedstore.com/mazda...RX8-p-302.html
Should I contact Mazdaspeedstore and ask where the 3rd peice is?

The only place I was able to find the 3 peice kit is this Ministry of Bass site which does not sound like a place to buy RX8 parts if you know what I mean. Where is the best place to buy the 3 piece kit? http://www.ministryofbass.com.au/mos...utm_medium=cpc

I didn't look because Race Roots flat out said "No one sells it individually" - I picked up the individual 3rd hose from the dealership so I guess someone does. But now you mention the 6-piece kit - how did we jump from 3 pieces to 6 pieces? Also why if you guys sell the kit didn't you simply paste the link to it in the begging of this thread?

The dealership can you get you nearly any individual part you desire down to the bolt.
Let us know if you need help in the future the majority of the vendors here drive the car and are enthusiasts as well.
