you guys & gals gotta see these mazda pics..
I was searching the web for random japanese mazda protege/familia/sport wagon sites and came upon a GREAT page of pictures of random japanese meets of mazda cars..
most of them being mazda protege 5's (the sport 20s and sport 15s) in japan..
http://www.seri.sakura.ne.jp/~323f/EVENT.htm
theres about 40 events so hopefully you have a faster connection then I do..
lots of cool pictures.
seems like the scene for mazda is so much bigger in japan..
it'll bring a tear to your eyes..
go figure.

Sweet site, thx for the hook up. 
Did you guys see the porshe station wagon? OMG that is wild, never thought I'd see the day. Maybe the P5 has had some influence on the market? 
And what about that capella or whatever it was called(the orange four-door)

There's a shop near Toronto that says they'll do a KL-ZE conversion for Proteges.. $4800 CDN if you're going from a I4 to the V6. http://www.a-spec.ca/
Although I think I'd be just as happy with the FS-ZE.
oh, and ps: i know that mazda doesn't compete in wrc ..

Note that these pictures were taken in Japan not Europe, it was a Familia meet.

Yes I finally know something that TheMan didn't.
yes I'm sure that it came with a V6 or did, when the 3rd gen came out the V6 didn't make it. I've been to the UK like five times and I've seen them. In the photos there is a fast back with no grill thats the one that came with the V6. it also came with a I4.
