94 coil harness is updated and Mazda eliminated the ground strap. Guess they didn't need it...

Drew, I wish! Na, she is still the same tiny turbo, I think it looks that way since the compressor housing shifted a bit with the new piping.

Just from cruising in the city and highway I am 13-15°F lower with my intake temps. Water is the same on the highway, and 2°C higher city driving. Fans are set to come on at 89°C. We will see if I can stay below that once summer arrives.

Ordered some speed bleeders for the brakes, and was going to flush out my coolant today, but of course the petcock(drain) kinda of broke and wont spin. Called up fluidyne and they are happy to send me a new valve free of charge. Should do the oil and plugs now, but after failing with the drain plug it just put me out of the mood.

im just curious, what kind of brake pads are you all running? right now i have some EBC green stuff with some meat left. and i was thinking with trying yellow stuff, or a new brand.

Also a question.. i changed my pads about 2 years ago. but didnt change the rear since it had alot of meat left.. i recently checked and the rear still have a good amount on there.. do our cars not really use the rears unless the abs kick in?
