Great product comes with all hardware. Price is ridiculous for what it is but it's the same everywhere else if not more.

I’ve heard some mechanics on YouTube don’t like them, say it keeps in the heat.

Good to see they're included in this package. Most don't included them and everyone comes on here looking for the hardware because they can't instal their new engine cover.

LMAO, old is when you went to high school in the 70's.

'77

No, old is high school in the 60's, owning a Honda 305 Dream, and learning to drive in your dad's new 63 Chevy.
Old is remembering being chased away from a field a few blocks away from your house while you watched the Army set up Hawk Missile Batteries during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Old is being retired for 15 years by 2011.

Sex toy.

You're thinking of the tailgate damper. I think I just figured out what the inside joke is about these.

Ever open the hood on a hot day? It's warm in that compartment no matter what.

Very true! Why make it worse, one of those things there is no answer to, kinda like tailgate dampers.

i love Mazda's they are nice driving cars i still miss my 2010 Mazdaspeed 3, just about everyday.

Coming off of the Mazdaspeed 6, I was so pissed they didnt make it AWD as well. It was still a cool car though.

I was there in Homestead! My Dad stationed at Homestead AFB. There was nothing on the grocery store shelves. I saw beach front machine gun nests, and missiles deep in the Everglades. I swear they had to bring them in on helicopters, and there was a freshly dug moat around the site with the dirt piled high in an embankment around the battery.

I was accustomed to B-52 Bombers at the base, and suddenly there was tactical fighters, and army everywhere. The trains ran at night loaded with heavy war machines like tanks.

Yeah I remember. We thought we were gonna get nuked, and there was no place to hide. We didn't see Dad for 2 weeks while the base was on full alert. Mom did her best to keep things normal. Went down on the keys to fish, and there were soldiers stationed every 1/4 mile guarding the fresh water pipeline that fed Key West and the Naval base there.

We lived just off of NW 183 street and 47 ave, which is where 183 st ended at the time. They set up a Hawk Battery just off what would be 183 st and 57 ave which was a field at the time.
Yeah, I remember practicing "Stop N Drop" and cowering under your desk in school....like that would protect you from anything !!!
And I remember the daily flights of aircraft flying out of Opa Locka Airbase in the north end. Had the Navy Blimp Base there also, which later housed the Goodyear Blimp in the 70s and 80s.

It''s a water-cooled engine, not air cooled where cooling fins come into play. Heat is dispated via the radiator and fluid circulating.

Like me-Class of '79. My wife was Class of '78 so she's ancient. We're so old we can remember the commercial where the Mazda "goes Hmmm." Date yourself with this quick Mazda quiz: what's an apex ring?

 

[theprinceofsnj]

I'm class of 79 too.

 

[theprinceofsnj]

I never owned a Mazda. But I had many of run ins with a certain Blue Mazda 3. The driver was a first-class road hog. Or should I say swine. She liked to drive between 10-15 MPH below the posted speed limit. And then when you went to pass her shed speed up. If it was raining, she drove even slower. And it was snowing she crawled. Since I would be stuck behind her for more than 10 miles, I knew a few ways to beat her at her own game.
