Well by moving some stuff around and wedging stuff in--I placed an oil catch with vacuum on the master cylinder side of the engine bay. Believe me its needed.
I know picture right--yall know my rep!

I need a picture please....mine has been all over the engine bay and would like to see where you ended up. I hope it's above the fill point - I learned the hard way.

exactly Phil.
what i did was drill the Pettit oil filling cup ---the one which the cap screws into---and installed a 3/8 fitting. That is what feeds the catch can. and since my oil funnel inserts pass that point --its all good.
I used the mazdaspeed mastercylinder brace bolt to mount that Peittit oil fill cup instead of mounting it on the brake booster unit as per the instructions.
Dont you have your remote oil filter on the drivers side?

Yup, it sounds like where I had mine untill I installed the remote oil filter. Ended up moving it to the others side of the engine bay. I keep running out of room.

Got ya RR and thanks--no rush just dont forget me?

The solution proved to be easier than that, Denny. I dropped the splash shield to get better access and then took a dremel tool with a small round carbide bur and split the nut on opposite sides. Came right off and didn't mess up the plastic mount any more than the 'spinning nut of doom' did.

Guess you could say I got a nut off

or not

You think after going to so much trouble they would get the LEDs synched up a little more evenly...

Cheers,

Front shock strut brace

What options are available for a front shock strut brace? I'm not satisfied with relocating the MazdaSpeed unit I've got in front of the mounts in order to clear the front of the supercharger, looks like that's going to put a lot of torsion on front corners. I've got the stock unit, but I'd like something with some bling to it.

When reading up on that make sure you keep in mind the distinctions between N/A and F/I engines.

Charles, I'd appreciate it if you'd list a couple of those distinctions for my ongoing education. My instincts lead me along these lines: F/I engines have positive pressure intake downstream of the pressurizing device; increased intake air flow (vacuum) upstream from the turbo/sc; therefore, forced induction motors can produce higher vacuum. OK, that's as far as I get. I know this sounds pretty basic, but while I can dissect a motorcycle no problem, cars are proving more complex - either that or I'm missing the obvious.
