mazda charge about 24 quid for 4 studs and nuts for downpipe studs, exhaust manifold studs cant be more expensive except there are 6 of them.  They are made from proper inconel as well which im not sure the halfrauds ones are

and tap the nuts out before you fit them, the standard mazda studs lock on the studs so if the stud is ceased in the block then it snaps undoing it.

Well the twins are off now..... at last!!!

So many heat shields around the turbos it took the p155!!!

Anyway, all I\'ve got to do now is extract the original broken stud & the one I tightend instead of undoingcoz I knocked the switch on the ratchet getting to the nut...... then its time for it all to go back, top up all the fluids, then take it for it\'s first test drive after doingthe clutch & exhaust!!!
