Hey back in the 90's I had a 626 turbo... but it was crap.
Well let me say that the gearbox was crap.....
I got rid of it after the 3rd box went.
(and I've never been a burnout king)
They just cant handle any power...
At the time I got to know the local mazda wrecker...
And was told it was pretty much the same with stock 626/TX5 turbos...
So when you give them an upgrade... BIF BAM POW broken...
So I got rid of it. (for a sweet Honda prelude, Great value for money)
I should say it was a TX5 turbo 2l motor in a 626.
It had some mods, bigger turbo... dont remember what else.
But back then, I got to say it was a very nice ride...
Tones off options, yes... Oh... that super deluxe LOL

Sounds good, I had a look about after the last post, sort of miss that thing.
Back then it cost me $12000, now you pick them up for under a grand.
Your mate may be able to get it running good without the problems I had with the box.
So what model/year, back then I wanted a 2 door, but I kind of like the hatch now.
200Kw is crazy power for the front wheel drive.
I have heard rumours that you can fit AWD to them.
and that way it is good for tones of power.
Keep us updated on it, I would be very interested, also post a pic or 2
