Yes planning on going very steady in the wet and yes 1st rwd.
I\'ve came from integra\'s and you can just floor them wet or dry so gonna take it very careful until i get the hang of it.
Hi Neil,
Nice car.
Just a small point,only from 1999 on were there any 280hp models.
Yours is 265hp which is still quick.
Regards
Carl

Its nice, did you import yourself, or was it already here in the UK? I think the white ones are great, they always look real clean, and the white contrasts with the rear lights really well.

The twin turbos always have really quick spool up and jump into high boost very easily...
So, its been said before, but i\'ll say it again... be very careful coming out of bends and accelerating away... no matter what gear you\'re in, when the boost comes in you can lose the rear end... and thats in the dry :Hammer
Nice clean motor bud.
Will keep an eye out for it around Newcastle:WaveBye

265 bhp was available from 96 when the 16 bit ecu upgrade was introduced...in 95 it would be the 8 bit ecu and 255 bhp.

I have now 900 miles on the new engine so its ran in perfectly along with over 8k in receipts for it in the last year including new mazda LSD/clutch/flywheel/turbo\'s/cooling system/brakes and absolutley everything else you could think of.
Everything has been done at mazda and tbh it looks like the guys at mazda have just replaced everything to be safe and as the fella who owned it had it as a money no object plaything its only done 11k in 4 years and has never seen rain or god forbid SNOW.
Absolutley loving it (http://www.itr-dc2.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif)
