I prefer more colorful language, but censored myself incase children were around.

Another great day. I broke off a bolt removing my sway. While trying to extract it, I broke of the bolt extractor. While trying to take out the bracket, I broke another bolt.

I plan to use r-comps this summer, guess I'll have to upgrade to the mazdacomp beefy mounts now.

I have my trusty ghetto boost leak tester. Which consists of some pipe, a coupler and a brass fitting to the air compressor.

Couple of things today...

1. Removed EGR tube and capped off the header and intake manifold ports.
2. Removed Charcoal Canister from passenger side of bay.
3. Cleaned up some of the old wiring that was used for the supercharger.
4. Removed, cleaned, and resealed the M-Tuned Coolant Reroute Block that attaches to the back of the head since it was leaking. The RTV on the gasket has to cure in the next 24 hours so I'll fill the coolant back up tomorrow afternoon.

Before...




After...

Getting that old gasket off is a bitch isn't it? I scraped for at least an hour and I "HOPE" I got it all. I don't know how you got such a good photo of it mounted I couldn't get my own head down there that easy.
