It's cute, eh?
I'm not a professional mechanic, but I don't think "put more goop on it" is better than spending $7 on an intake gasket.
Oh good, JB Weld Stalagmites.
This is the new ground clamp. It's also the anti-theft device. Note the high quality Walmart nEverStart battery.
After discovering our high quality intake, I ran to the junkyard and got
various KL-series V6 parts without a lot of knowledge about what
actually fits. This is a KL04 intake. I was told it doesn't fit into
the MX3 on various Mazda forums. Well, jeeze that sure does look like
it fits. Oh, and the TB is the KL47 (Millenia), which also "doesn't
fit." The throttle cable bracket rubs on the brake reservoir, by a few
millimeters, my angle grinder will fix that later.
Oh, we were also told that it will hit the battery. Damn, one of these times the Internet will be right.
