Ordered Racing Beat Screens
I figured since corportate mazda was so nice in replacing my ac condenser, that I would protect the investment with the Racing Beat screen kit. The $97 they charge for the ac cond' and the oil coolers seem well worth it, compared to the $750 for the new condenser.
PS I think any time someone introduces themselves on the site and has an 04 or 05 rx8 I am gonna say, "Welcome to the site, buy some racing screens and save yourself the hassle!" I I figure while I have the front bumper off I will install my new AEM cai too and kill two birds with one stone. |
sounds like a plan.
|
man you got lucky, glad it got worked out in the end
|
I think the 05s and newer come with a protective screen that covers the bottom half of the condenser. The RB sreens are much better. Let us know how the install goes.
http://www.finishlineperformance.com.../pdf/06-02.pdf oh yeah. Install the screens first. The AEM gets in the way a little bit of one of the 10mm bolts that hold the condenser in and makes it a little bit harder to install if the AEM is done first. |

Yeah, I must have an earlier model 05 as well. The service manager and I went out and checked some others on the lot, only the 06/07's had them
|
As I recall, it was just the last few '05s that got them.
|
My 05 came with it, must have been last of 05
|
My 05 has it as well. I seem to recall it was made in Oct., but I'd have to check.
|
My 05 has the screen. Born August of 2005
|
My 05 doesn't, but it's build date is sometime in 04.
|
Good call with the screens and AEM intake. Mazda-Rati is absolutely right about doing the screens first. I put my AEM in first, and had to go back and undo a lot of it in order to tighten the top screws on the condenser screen :mad:
You'll love the AEM though, everyone says my car sounds like a Ferrari :) |
I cant wait, I hope the screens come soon. I would love to work on it this weekend.
|
Waiting on mine as well! Hell, I already added them to my sig, they better get here!
|
a lil off topic but does the AEM cai have a better sound then MS cai?
|
They're the same intake, so I doubt the sound will vary.
