Hi Paul-
FedEx tried to deliver yesterday, but no one was home. Strange -
because we did check 'no signature required', so they should have just
left it. Online though I see that apparently they did not.
In any case, I imagine you should have everything today. Let me know if
anything is missing, or not up to snuff.

Dang. I'll have to get down there right away.
Do you have a tracking number?

Everything is fine Mark. The manifold had a couple of hair line cracks
but that is par for the course. Mazda screwed up by not radiusing the
knife edged holes where the exhaust gas comes out of the rotor housing and
goes into the manifold. I have never seen one that is not cracked.
Here are some pictures of other cracked manifolds. The 1987 version
was really bad. A real disaster. The 1989 to 1991 like the one you sent
me are an order of magnitude better. If somebody out there has one
and is not yet cracked I highly recommend radiusing these holes.
Even if it is cracked already a radius will not hurt.
Not to worry. It is perfectly usable. I have not inspected the
turbo yet but I don't expect any problems with that.
BTW do you still have the inter cooler. If so I am interested in
buying that too.
Also BTW the FedEx truck reeked of marijuana inside and the driver
was stoned :)
