here's the stealth mod of the day. stock 04 washer fluid bottle modified to accept water/meth output and level sensor. it'll also still work to wash the windows!
and the best part? the AEM pump mounts perfectly behind the bottle out of sight..
awesome - details , me want details ..
nice trick with the wwf tank--now you can use the go juice from snow that is red and when you use the washers it will look trick. Seriously, nice idea. i trunk mounted mine.

Shaun did a compression test for me last night (thanks Kev for the loan of your tester). Looking like I'm a candidate for a new engine. Rough idle, power loss, hard starts when it's hot (but not often yet). Worse since the Vegas drive after I had all those problems driving in the heat across death valley.
My numbers were a little better than Shaun's though

That was one thing I was wondering as well. Is there a way to make sure the tester is calibrated and not just reading low? Just trying to make sure there is no doubt that U Mazda could get a "better" reading.
Good Morning Charles! Now get back to work. It was a pleasure to meet you and E yesterday. You guys do meticulus work. 
Shaun, the tester should be accurate to 2%. It was calibrated last year, but I was curiuos if it needs to be done again.

When the Quick-Connect fuel lines come apart many people become understandably confused on how to properly reassemble them. I have been able to reassemble connectors with seemingly unuseable red and blue lock rings. They really are not that complicated nor fragile IF one has higher-than-usual mechanical aptitude.

I am glad yall have reached that level of talent. Ya'll have worked hard for it. Congrats.
For me and the rest of the struggling shade tree, redneck want a be's I still think it is better to change out that part. Its not cheap at around $30 but it is one hell of a lot cheaper than having your motor blow or car burn. Unfortunately there are multiple examples of this happening.
Its a bad design for a high pressure fuel line.
Sorry for the thread jack OP, lets get back to the subject going on-- fire that baby up yet?

I kinda expect feast or famine. Easy's is kinda famine right. Something catastrophically wrong right out of the box. This was a motor that was strong for the last 2 years and then all the sudden went south in the last 6 months in a major way...
