The metal powder in my transmission pan on the magnet is normal wear in your transmission. There was no signs of different kinds of metal nor was there large fragments which would have had me going WTF and contacting MAZDA ASAP.
I just wanted to play around with separating the goo from the metal on the magnet just to see how much there was.
Now mind you hopefully on the next oil filter change I should not see any where near as much wishfully thinking none at all?
Well I did not account for the size of Nitrous Nozzle I choose to use needing larger mounting area and space then the normal NOS Foggers. So I will have to machine up a complete new and wide Throttle body spacer to fit bot the Water/Meth injection and the Nitrous nozzle at the same time. This will also work better for the Water/Meth nozzle which I will now be able to counter sink the nozzle holder to lower the nozzle spray end even with the bore of the spacer .

I will be "rolling" these up next month to see what the true engineering specifications are and then running some base line theoretical numbers on a special engine program to see what I can do to improve from Mazda. Generally I can achieve about 5-7 hp gain on 4 cylinders from my cams. Will see?? If not then they will make a great garage wall display. lol
After changing my filter and oil pan oil in my transmission a couple weeks ago I realized that I wanted a better way to see the fluid when I drop the pan in the futre to change the filter. So I had a NEW transmission pan powder coated Bright white.
The plan ...... I will use the rear pipe section and cut the it and install a Porter Muffler as the replacement for the resonator. This way I will not reduce the exhaust flow and it will act as a pre-sound level reducer before it goes into the twin small tail OBX mufflers. So theoretically I should have a nice sports car sound only being produced out the tail pipes and not increase the sound level or sound resonance in the interior. In Theory LOL
As I always say this thread is not about what will work but more simply what I want to do...... for the fun of it.
I had to get 2 Stainless Steel 2.25 ID x 2.5 Reducers for the Porter Muffler. I also will use 2 2.25 Inch Stainless Steel V-band with stepped male and female rings
If I do not like the sound I can easily swap it out for something else and not worry about gasket's.
I wanted to do a thread for FUN on the the projects I.... ops I meant the wife and I will be doing to the MAZDA. Please keep in mind this is not going to be a technical thread in any way. Some of what we do may to some seem ridicules, in-practical, unreasonable, functionally questionable and down right insane but hey its our MAZDA right? Besides all of us like to do things the way we want anyway.
Also a WARNINGdo not attempt to copy what we do to our MAZDA unless you truly believe I know what I am doing and can duplicate the project in every detail. And I have been told so often in my life that I don't know what I am doing so maybe better just look at my pictures and have a good laugh on me with my fun with my MAZDA.

Thank you for the compliment but this is not the thread I want to really answer anything technical on. I will say however I like Peak products
