Folek from Paris in france

[samoht]

I would expect to spend weeks or months waiting for the right car to come up.


If you can pay £7500, I would say the blue \'99 should be the first car to look at.

There were a few changes Mazda made in 1996 and some more in 1999, which make the car more reliable.  Since you probably don\'t have a garage near you which understands rotary cars, it may be worth paying for this.

Reliability changes - basically from \'96 the twin turbo control system is electronic rather than pneumatic, which is more reliable and easier to fix if it goes wrong.  From \'99 it has better cooling and oil metering that is quicker to respond.

I\'m not saying you shouldn\'t buy an older car, (my own car is \'96) just that it\'s worth considering the value of the various small improvements with a \'99 spec.

BTW \'erratic rev counter\' would mean that on some days, the rev counter works fine, on other days it does not work.  Probably there is a loose electrical connection somewhere behind the dashboard.

Thank you Samoht ^^ do you know if they are other difference between this 99 spec and older one fd ? except the front bumper ( it\'s great !!! ) and what you said top

If i want boost the engine after made all my administrativ papers is it the same part for all the fd? exhaust ecu air filter ( I ask because When i have my s2k they are a lot of part for 1999 to 2005 all compatible for f20c after in 2006 the s2K have got lot of change VSA and more electric not the same part not the same turbo kit bolt on etc etc )

You need a different version of the Apexi ECU for the \'99 spec cars, I think.
I think the other parts are similar but I\'m not 100% sure.

The 99 spec cars have different turbochargers which are slightly more efficient and make slightly more power (280hp compared to 255 for the early ones).

Ok maybe difficult to make some customisation

Tuning is same throughout all the years, But ecu\'s are different between early years and late years, Price would still be nealy the same, Apart from the different years for the ecu everything is still interchangable

The \'99-spec Apexis do come up for sale from time to time, just not as common as the ones for the earlier cars.

Alternatively you can pay double to get a brand new one from Oz:
