Hey I dont know where you buy your premix but i bought my case of 12 from mazdatrix.com for 69 dollars. Single bottles run about 6 dollars as well.

its about the same price, the shipping is what kills me.

Hmm really? Mazdatrix is based in california so shipping is relatively quick and as far i remember i dont think i paid much more then 70 for the case.

You might be right, I vaguely remember running through the process with mazdatrix, and it was more money. I'll check next time I order (i probably should order a case...i usually just grab 2 qts)

EDIT: i know what it was now. There didn't seem to be a way to see the shipping cost without purchasing.

Insane Speed has one. Owner is in a friend. I'll see if he can help out but would want MM to tune Kasumi in return.

Would anyone want a free stp s6607 oil filter? Went in to buy oil today and price was $22 without filter or $19 with a filter I cannot use(would work great for any s1 rx8 though), so I took the filter. I don't know where we could meet but somewhere near summerlin would be nice, or give a suggestion if your interested.

I will see what I can do......MM will be here for a couple of days. Let me know if we can us the dyno.


You should have no trouble giving off that oil filter......I'd take it but I don't use a mazda size filter in the oil relocation kit.

Yea I would consider using it myself but it looks to be nearly an inch shorter than the s2 Mazda filter I use. I figured there would be a post claiming it by now, who doesn't love free stuff.

hey guys, been awhile since ive posted.

unfortunately i seem to have a problem with my 8 and was seeing if yall might know what's wrong. when i press down on my clutch pedal it doesnt come back up unless i manually lift it. im thinking maybe i need a new slave/master cylinder or i need to bleed the fluid.

happened last night while i was going through a mcdonalds drive through. pressed on the clutch pedal to shift gears and i heard a pop when i stepped on the clutch. after that, the clutch pedal stayed depressed unless i manually lift it up.

Could be the bracket.....if it is I may have one we beefed up. If it's the bracket then we'll talk. If not the bracket then it could be several different parts to the clutch system and I don't have spare parts for a clutch, just the bracket.

Is any one coming to the meet tonight???? Would be nice to see a few 8s there.
