Thumbs up Cork Sport Exhaust

I have to agree with 09! It is a beautiful exhaust, and I mean it from its intake to those lovely extra-thick appearing exhaust tips! But they do collect more oil than the stock ones because of that.
Just wipe off when cool using a larger size disposable rag, I use a Shop Towel, dampened with Simple Green.

WHOOT!! I'll keep you informed as to when it arrives.

YA RIGHT!! "I don't know how to do". We could make this an "in-town" get together! Of course for those on the East side, it would be a DRIVE.
Maybe I could even get my Derwankel rear light in finally!

I have some clear corners to install and need to do clay bar & zaino - be a nice chance to meet you all. Sounds like a long trip from the East Valley though.

I really want to go, but I don't know if I'm up for a 9 hour drive up on friday and 9 hours back on Sunday after all of the cross-country traveling I've been doing every weekend for the last 6 months.
I'm driving out to Albuquerque this weekend, so that would mean yet another month where I haven't slept in my own bed for more than 5 days at a time.

Hey AZ-RX8U we missed you yesterday big time The 2nd Annual MazFest weekend sounds pretty cool. Looks like it's part Mazda car show and part Mazda car track time (guaranteed 2 hours track time!) right? Maybe something like SevenStock but for all Mazdas, pistons and rotaries alike? The 2005 pictures gallery looks awesome!











Check out the MazFest thread here for more active and current info. There's still a few spots open for the Sunday track day!

My CS was popin' on decel for a bit. Then I came across Ethos Fuel Reformulator, and after 3 tanks, my pop stopped, and the MPG is up 10%. Great stuff at 1.5 oz. per tank.

Back fire is caused by unused fuel being dumped into the exhaust system.
Then it is lit up and blows like a cannon.
Hopefully with some flame action too.
How I miss my RX-4,,,,,,,,,,
SHE WAS A FIRE BELCHING BEAST !

I add about 1.5 to 2 oz. at every refill. The bottle says 1 oz. per 10 gallons of gas.

At $24.95 for 16 oz. it is worth every penny for 8 10%'s (about 12 gallons at $3.00/ea.). I use it in my M/C too (0.5 oz per 5 gal. tank), and I've been told if you add 1 to 2 oz. to radiator coolant it adds life to the water pump and cools the engine some (I'll let you know when it gets hotter, as I already did this), Next, I may add it to the oil because it makes it flow better. It is a fuel/oil/coolant soluable ester-based add-in.

Here is the home page: http://www.ethosfr.com

Pricing is at http://www.ethosfr.com/OnlineStore.html
