Aussie MP3 At Last(sort of)
 
I went in to trade my mrs's 991.8 JB2 on a newer model and was sold on a Black SP20(PRO5). Signed up and was told 6 weeks from Japan. No worries.Open the following Saturdays paper and what do I see.Mazda Australia releasing 2.0 sedan code named (sports edition).These have not been sold in Aust in a 2litre format before.Hmmm I think it is your version of the MP3 without the racing harts and MP3 player.The engine brace is also red instead of yellowas with the MP3. Would this be correct?
I quickly phoned the dealer and said change the order as these are limited to 250. She takes delivery next week and I am more exited than her. :wee:
ps. can you attach jpeg files from your drive and how is this done?

You have to get some free webspace, upload the pictures to that free space, and then link to the pictures. Try Yahoo.com.

No problem at all! Yes the US MP3 does have the smoked glass lamps.

Thats pretty cool. I`d like to see pics of the badging on that car.

Makaveli April-22nd-2002 02:52 PM

I can't read anything from the scan, but how many hp?

mazdaSP20 April-23rd-2002 06:46 AM

Mazda claim 98kw or 131.42hp @6000rpm
the badging is standard protege with a really cheap and tacky clear sticker on the l/h/side of the boot that says sports edition.
that will be coming off.they also claim a comp ratio of 9.7.1 and requires premium ulp.What comp ratio do the US versons run?
torque 174nm@4000
