Recently visited Japan on a business trip and picked up the latest April '04 parts brochure. There are some new MS parts that I hope make it over to the US. New items:

- MS brakeline set
- MS sports radiator
- MS oil cooler kit
- MS sports oil filter
- MS sports clutch line
- MS sports air filter

- Race party roll bar set
- Race party tow hooks

(Sorry, I know the photo stinks, but I don't have a scanner.)

Been out for a while in Japan... but never see selling anywhere outside Japan. I am loooking for the consumables like the oil filter and air filter. Brake set are good when install with the new caliper (when it comes out).

I want the radiator and a second oil cooler when I install the MazdaSpeed front spoiler for the track work.

So: Is there anyone in US selling this? I know there isn't much in Australia yet. Japanparts.com, jt-imports are the way to go.

Wonder if I ever should get the X shaped performance bar (also in the picture). I just scratch the bottom plate again today leeping over a platform in the stupid hardware store complex.

380$ for brake lines.. Yikes..

Will be installing on monday...:)

What's the P/N for the oil filter?

QSE1 13 Z40 (Air Filter)
QYY1 14 302 (Oil Filter)

Mazdaspeed grounding kit arrived and will be installed as well, brake lines get ordered on Monday...

Was thinking of getting the MS air filter too. Let us know if you can detect any difference with it installed. Wonder how it compares to K&N.

Better throttle response, maybe 2-5hp...

cortc butt dyno is quite accurate then (2-5 hp... :eek:)

Can't wait to put my bars on cortc!!! I got some info from the service manual. Hope it is right on Wednesday!

takahashi: Cool! Can you post some pics of the 4 point strut bar installed and the under braces...?

sure thing mate... it is tomorrow

Cort, thought you were going to buy the 4pt brace and see if it fits the LHD 8s. did you do get it in yet?

blksf8: Not yet, with some better pictures should be able to tell if it will fit; after I get done upgrading the brakes this week (I just got the pads waiting on the lines...) will be ordering the under-braces... Then if the four point looks like it will fit, I will order it...

Spare tire kit goes out Tuesday and the MS rear strut bar goes in, got that today also...
