Im curious who make this AST?

 

I too am curious, me want

 

Kinda looks like it says Mazdaspeed on top...?

 

It looks like it says mazdaspeed on it

 

Looks like it, but I searched and I couldn't find it

 

They used to appear frequently on ebay and then stopped. Now they have started showing up on ebay again. Why don't you email the seller and ask him if he has any affiliations or is a member of this board.

 

It should be designed using 3D CAD program and then CNC machined. The tank should be cut out from a thich wall aluminum tubing and threaded with hole for the top and bottom tank cover to bolt on. The top and bottem tank cover should be CNC machined from a billet aluminum. The Mazdaspeed logo should be programmed and machine from the CNC machine at the same time when doing the top on the top tank cover. I hope the person who design and fabricator put a grove between the tank and the cover for O-ring installation to prevent any coolant leak.

I just wanna know who made it, lol

 

Im curious because I just purchased this one on ebay, and it looked alot nicer than the other AST's ive seen, and I wanted to replace the stock one asap.

 

I don't think there is a manufacturer. I think it is made from the guy who design it and machine by his own machine shop. If the price is lower I will get one this rather than the RX7store one which I had and doesn't really like it at all.

So you gonna give us the sellers name or the ebay link ????

 

the guys name on ebay is fatfeet200.

 

To anyone that is interested, I e-mailed the guy to see if he has or can get any more of those. I'll update when I find out anything, I know I'd like one.

 

If it's the same price or cheaper I will def. get one from him.

email me when you find out. Thanks,

Will do

 

im interested as well

 

looks realy nice, does it come in two sections (top and bottom) if so, what is between the two .....gasket or o-ring??? Just curious. i like it because there is not welds on the top, where most aluminum AST fail

 

On the CAD image in his Ebay listing it shows O-rings. I want to hear from people who actually bought and use it to see if there is any problem. I would want to replace my leaking RX7store AST (started to leak after few months) with this nice looking one.

Just what the FD needs: more o-rings!

 

Got in touch w/ the guy and he said he makes em. Workin out w/ him how many he can make/ how long it would take/ how much. Keep ya updated.

 

and here I thought my car was going to have a unique AST, at sevenstock o-well, JK

 

That's a nice-looking AST, however, since it's not an official Mazdaspeed item, the logo makes it phony.

 

Yeah...sure it's phony. It doesn't say Megan Racing on it so we're the only ones who are ever gonna know. I say it's JDM Mazdaspeed directly imported from Japan, designed first for use on the 787B racecar and now in production for the FD. HAHA

Agreed. I'm interested, too.
