That's for an FD...not an FC.
The FC doesn't really need one.

What makes the FD need one?

The FD rad is mounted very low, and you cannot burp it easily.
Thus, Mazda uses an AST to get around this problem.

FC guys use them in custom cooling system setups when needed, but default - the FC doesnt fall victim to air bubbles getting caught easily when using the factory configuration.

I see. Would adding one to a v-mount setup be advantageous?
