Aluminum FC water pump?
DO they make them? I found one for my FB at the wrecker, but have not seen one for the FC.
Thanks,
Chris

It was just for the polish effect.... Chrome spray paint will do the trick!

No, seriously, Mazda Comp used to make one - I dunno if they still offer it.
It was something crazy like $400+ for something that saves you like 4 lbs.
It was for those looking to shave those last few, hard-to-find pounds off your race car.
