Nice ride,
But what do you mean by 12A turbo gearbox?
I only know the Japanese 12A turbo inj. rx7.
and in Europe you could buy a Rx7 Elford Turbo (i've got one
)
But the trannie was stock. Not sure of the Japanese trannie do...
I don't know more official mazda 12 A turbo releases... correct me if I'm wrong...
Greetz,

Sorry to Tom for hijacking your thread 
(nice car BTW)
Maguire I like the seats but they weigh a tonne and the foam traps water like it was designed to rot out the wheel wells
might start a new thread on how to retrofit bins to a 2+2 I can't visualise how they fit at the moment

BTW storage bins went into cars with additional rear-impact bracing (Canada and US models) added to meet safety requirements
When putting in rear seats, this bracing will likely have to be removed. Should the car ever be moved to another State or Province it may fail safety inspection (detrimental structural modifications)

hi
Thanks,
The wheels are 16"
As with the seat's in the back they can hold 3 (pissed) peolpe not a problem at all, as i was driving...
When i got it, it had an auto and the 12A turbo box was out of a Jap Spec RX7, and i was told be my mech that they were stonger then standard, he could have been telling me crap, but so far i haven't had any problems with it. I've got a mate who's got a 90 S5 Turbo, and he loved the feel of the gearbox??
Thanks for the comment's

You need to REMOVE the bracing in North American models to install the seats, and then you risk failing inspections.
