Only 300 GTAE's ever made by Mazda according to the main factory in hiroshima, Japan for Rallying initially, heres some of the spec:

Factory handbuilt engine 1.8L
Squeeze cast pistons;
Hollow camshafts (to save .5kg for each);
Sodium filled exhaust valves;
Match-ported exhaust manifold;
Shot peened close ratio gearbox;
Rear Viscous LSD;
43-57 front-to-rear torque split under static conditions, up to 60-40 under high slip conditions.
Air to Air Front mounted intercooler;
IHI RHF-6 VJ23 Ball bearing turbo;
Brakes are 274mm (ventilated) at the front and 280mm (solid) at the rear;
No ABS (to save weight)
No climate control or stereo (comes with option of aircon)
No electric windows or mirrors (wires add weight)
Door trims 1.5mm thinner than road going GTR
No sound deadening
quicker steering ratio
Factory rollcage points
Shorter gear ratio then GTR

Will post more pics once the snow decides to clear off!
