Looks good. Have you nailed down the pricing on the head flange? I may still be interested in getting one from you for the carbon manifold I'm planning to build.
Yeah pricing is finally all squared away except for the ceramic coating and polishing options. I'll shoot ya a PM and we can rap about it.

Thanks! My wife and three daughters keep me busy at home and the 20-30 students at school that call me dad make sure I never have a dull moment. Life is good

Had some funky stuff this week. With the colder weather my gauges started acting up again. Just like last year when I was up north is some real cold winter weather. They always bounce back after driving with the heat on for about 10 miles. Seems like I'm the only one that ever experienced the momentary lack of gauge function when cold weather hits.
Found 2 stored codes. The 0140 is no biggie as I have no cat to to warm up to threshold and am not replacing a worthless O2 sensor that does nothing. The other was 0660 but all seems well after clearing and I never had driveability issues. Had no pending codes at all.
Now all of a sudden yesterday I noticed the ABS and BRAKE lights on. Checked the fluid and it appears to be spot on. But its been almost 64,000 since my last complete brake pad / rotor job.
Will the lights illuminate for pad wear? Brakes however still function well and there is no lock up.

Alright. my downpipe is officially for sale in the fs section for $375 shipped. all hardware, never used, mounted or anything. Id rather not sell the manifold, but if someone in the msp community really needed a manifold, i could entertain offers. stripping my p5 starts tomorrow, all suspension and chassis bits will be swapped back to stock. once i get my hands on the engine hoist, ill be pulling the msp and p5 engines to swap whatever parts i was looking to keep.
p5 gonna get sold with a new clutch, brakse, tires all wear s*** so they are gonna get a pretty good deal. aside from the dent she is perfect and ill be sad to see her go... but whateves. its jsut a car. easily replacable when money is less tight.
yellow msp is coming back... hope it doesnt look rediculous with brown Rays.

brake light and ebrake light thing happened to me and turned out to be my rear right abs/speed sensor. you have to perform a weird procedure for a code to spit out in order to determine what you need to replace. here's the manual http://www.floptical.net/mazda/service_web/04-02.PDF
I got my extended O2 bung welded in for the downstream and my wide band welded in too. It looks like I got rid of the CEL.. I have the wideband o2 installed, but not wired. I haven't got the wiring harness through the firewall yet. Its got a connector on the end of it, so any advice would be appreciated. Looks like i need about an inch diameter hole to get the wire through..

I used a pick and removed the wires from the plastic plug. Feed through fire wall and reassembled.

You went through that grommet our amp power wire runs through? The one southeast of the brake booster?

Yes I did. I also got my gauge power and wide band power from the fuse box in the cabin.

Lol. Sorry guys but I have to progress. Life is about progression. I'm ready for something else.

Are there any issues with it? I might be interested.

Has a small water pump leak (replacing a water pump costs around $300)
Exhaust manifold has hairline cracks on it which causes rough idle when warming up (infamous hesitation)
The front passenger door lock actuator is bad so you have to manually lock it.
Horn doesn't work.
