Copied from the US list. Concerning to see the amount of plastic that  can become brittel.

For what it\'s worth, I have some close up pictures of the Star Mazda
Renesis motor that was trotted out at SevenStock 5 starting here:

Plastic = Lightweight & cheap = good

If mazda have done thier homework they should be fine, I can\'t see them speccing parts for an engine that will go brittle after a short time. Rover K series engines have had plastic inlet manifolds for years
