djmtsu will become famous soon enough
Back when the FC verts came out buyers were like 'Where's the boost?'

Mazda did not want to import the turbo verts here, so salesman claimed the chassis was too flimsy.

Comprende?

Dead On accurate! I was given the choice of sun or power. At the time, 'turbo-lag' and top-RPM limiters were the other non-turbo (NA) sellers for me. I chose the sun & wrapping the tach around to zero before shifting.

At this point, I'm up to removal of the interior to access the engine cable in the 'engine removal' guide. Put power to the top & lowered it today in order to Spray Nine the whole damn interior. Mold & dead mice headed out before I get under the dash again. Felt good to see the dash light up like a Christmas tree! I think the harnesses may have survived. All of a sudden, my 16 year old sees a reason to join in. I think he's looking ahead (are those really speakers in the seat headrests?!?).
