Already replied last time you posted mate: http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62560 - thought the answer was fairly clear, though I didn\'t have any pictures I did tell you the manual pages to look at.  You can download the factory service manuals from the internet.

Wondering what you mean by "a lot of air pump holes" ?  Do you mean where the hoses from the air pump went to previously? Or have you gone as far as removing the line from the lower intake manifold to the catalytic convertor, the EGR from the left of the LIM, and the ACV from the LIM?

What have you actually removed at this stage?

2 2 bolt ones on the firewall side of UIM, 1 3bolt on the \'inboard\' side of it (where the aCV comes off) IIRC :)

The only manual I knwo of is for the US ones - it can be found on rx7club :) FAQ\'s in the 3rd gen section.

It\'s a bit more involved than you\'ve done so far I\'m afraid. There\'s a few metal pipes that you need to get off, and the ACV under the upper inlet manifold as well.
You need to take the UIM off, remove the ACV and blank that. You will then see the 2 metal hardpipes that join from the rubber hoses - I found it easiest to cut one of these, made it far simpler to get it out.

Yep, will do mate- would have snapped some for you if it didn\'t involve taking the UIM off!

My LIM is on the way from the PC\'ers at the mo - if you haven\'t got a piccy by the end of the week I\'ll pop one up when it arrives.
