The main problem you are going to run into is that each shop has their own idea of what a "streetport" is... So, comparing your streetport with say a Pineapple or KDR or Pettit streetport is going all yeild different results. Your best bet is to find someone with a set of stock irons and then compare yours with the stock ones to see if yours have been altered or not.

If you go to mazdatrix.com they have a "how to porting". Or here www.mazdatrix.com/faq/port6p.htm

I think you are going to have a hard time telling from pictures. Do you know anyone locally who has some stock irons laying around? I know there are several rotary shops in TX; I'm sure any one of them would compare your iron to a stock one for you without charging you anything (as it's not really any real work involved).

well I found some old Irons in my garage ,and it looks like they extended the port and widened it.. But I have another delma now.. I had planed on sending my housing to JHB to get re done ,but there was a misunderstanding in the price ,so I'm stuck with my housings. Well my next question is can I sand my rotor housings..there seems to be some sort of dirt on the surface of them

Try using some solvent (parts cleaner or something like that) and a 3M pad to scrub on it.
