Defending a protest?

No, sadly I'm missing this years National Championship event after attending the last 16 years straight.

Information is powerful knowledge, but as you noted all the searched links are dead. Planning out for an eventual major assault for moving to the DSP class next year. No stone goes unturned and such ....

No worries M8, always happy to help...:)

oh hey guess what i remembered i have in my stash

I have more stuff coming my way. I'll let you know what I get Mark.

Anyone know what plastic material the fuel tank is made of?

Don't know but this is the company that makes it..might help maybe...

Kautex Textron is a German company owned by Textron, the U.S. conglomerate. Kautex Textron, a manufacturer of auto parts and industrial packages, supplies plastic fuel tanks for the Fiat Stilo. Sales in 2002 were 1.2 billion Euros. In July 2001 Kautex Textron and Keylex Japan jointly founded a plastic fuel tank manufacturing company, located in Hiroshima, which has started supplying to Mazda.

�¡Kautex and Keylex jointly founded a plastic fuel tank manufacturing company

Kautex owned by the U.S. Textron and Keylex, a Hiroshima auto parts maker, founded a joint venture company, Kautex Textron Keylex Co. in Hiroshima. The company has since started to manufacture plastic fuel tanks for Mazda vehicles. It is capitalized at 818 million yen, with Kautex contributing 65 percent and Keylex 35 percent.

Thats from this page http://www.marklines.com/en/report/rep240_200401 it gives a good description of how most tanks are made

Since 1994 six-layer/four-material plastic fuel tanks with a layer of Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol Polymer (EVOH) as a barrier against gas permeation have come into widespread use mostly in North America; and they are now the dominant type of tank.

How about the type of plastic material the UIM is made of?

hmm ive seen that somewhere. ill hunt it down

Appreciate it.

this can go in here too

its injection molded Dupont Zytel Nylon 66. i cant seem to find who makes it. maybe Mazda makes them in house :dunno:

that's the same conclusion I was coming too

here is the other renesis SAE papre. you have to pay attention to the engines they compare the MSP to, sometimes its the REW, and sometimes its the S5 NA

Back on this again and while looking the UIM over I came across a >PA6-GF30< designation cast on it. This identifies it as PA6 molded Nylon material with 30% glass fiber :)

nice:)
