sonic, not meaning to argue, but i called both the yard and i personally visited and talked to the owner of corksport. i made nothing up, you are correct in the manifold situation for the mx3 however if you want to overlook my other points so be it. as for proof of this, i talked with them personally, as did most of the guys who live within the northwest. especially since im within 20 minutes of olympia and cant get a 2.5L us spec because they are reserved for shipment to corksport in portland.... where he sells ze cams and heads... and hmmm, jap engines. this will be my last post on this topic but if you are not from the area then you wouldnt know. i do appreciate the further assistance on the manifold, for that was why i went to them in the first place. i already had my 2.5

then that would explain his bias. for if he read my original post... i didnt fault the store for their practice, its just some people were under the impression that it was all from japan, not knowing about the wrecking yard in olympia, or jeff at mazda toyota recycling in portland....( yes i know about that one too) i said that derek should get better customer service due to the fact that ben and i had a slight disagreement in the store which he took to screaming at me for. not a good business practice. I actually still use them for certain things, yet i only deal with derek for he isnt as ... whats a good word, unprofessional. that said, derek, sorry again about your birthday i really didnt mean to spoil it arguing with ben<P>later folks
