          lolz @ tuner car
          I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                      the motor is the same as the 95-98 BHA BP which is the same as the 90-94 BP except OBDII and has no plugs for the oil and coolant lines for the turbo.

                      the trans is the stronger G series II trans found in the later mazdas but has the proper bellhousing for the BP

                        So I'm throwing this out there since we're talking about the sephia.

                        If one was to buy 1 and boost it, it would have to be run off a megasquirt or some other standalone? Are there any good suspension mods for the sephia? Grabbing the turbo stuff shouldn't be any different that grabbing turbo stuff for the protege/escort BPs. Oil/coolant feed isn't an issue. Sandwish plate on the oil filter would take care of the feed. Tapping into the coolant lines could take care of the coolant. If there's any good suspension mods then I don't see why grabbing a sephia would be a bad thing seeing as you can grab 1 and slap a msp lsd in and boost it and roll hard. I think turpro is going to start doing research

                          i think if something ever happens to my escort i may transplant into a sephia... or a wagon... idk. depends if the BG suspension fits the sephia easily or not.

                            it "looks" like it would bolt up, the swaybar mounts are goofy and the interior is really cheap feeling.
