Don't change the color of the MS Struts. That green is pimp. If anybody says anything about them being green, tell them 'They're Mazdaspeed BIATCH!'

I've been sanding and polishing the crank... not just the mains and rods but the whole crank. I figure that I've also removed some weight, as well as got rid of some of the drag that was created from the casting slag. This should also let it climb the RPM ladder a lot faster... spool spool!

Here's that fook'd up casting number that doesn't match anything in my books at work...
