          You can't get parts meant for a Mazdaspeed from the dealer unless you have a VIN from a Mazdaspeed vehicle. It's part of their thing to keep the Mazdaspeed vehicles "Limited Editions". Besides, for the price of that setup, you could probably go custom for cheaper and make more power. Hell, the price of a factory turbo for a RX-7 Turbo II is $2300 from Mazda and that's if you can find a dealership that actually has one so imagine what the price would be for a setup from a brand new Mazda.
          1991 Mazda 323 GTR Sedan
          MODS:
          GTR motor swap, F&R Familia strut bars, MX-3 Rear Lower strut tie bar, GTX front bumper, GTX grill, EDM headlights & corners, EDM 323 rear garnish, EDM spoiler, EGT sideskirts, MX-3 seats, GTX steering wheel, EGT glass sunroof, WRX hood scoop (functional!!), and other things that take too much space to list.....
          TO DO LIST:
          EDM/JDM rear bumper
          EDM/JDM power folding mirrors
          Repaint car

              Hell, an O.E. replacement turbo for an '89 GTX from AutoZone costs $742.22 with a $165.00 core!

                ok went to mazda todat to compare hubs. well guess what the front 2001 5bolt hubs should fit. the only difference between them are the bolt pattern. I would have checked the rears but they had none in stock. Other than finding brakes that will fit. i think it can work.

                      If you switched to 5-lug could you run some cool wheels or something? I like my 4-lug wheels... lugnuts are a biatch... why would you want more of them?

                            the probe/mx6/626 would be more appropriate tho..
                            nope. the front od an RX is different. there is a junkyard here in ottawa called RX7 heaven. guess what kinda car they only deal with. the fronts are different.

                            and mx6/probe has been doen before on a pro by A-Spec. so it is feasable.
                            When you turn your car on... does it return the favor?

                                not that it really matters, but 5 lug has higher torque capacity, but 4 lug is completely adequate
