yup, after all this time of sitting on the insurence money, i flew out to NYC over the past weekend and looked at a mazda 626 GT hatchback. very rare car, that ive been obsessed with for awhile.
mods are as follows....
Engine:
Mazda FE-DOHC.
-Venolia forged pistons 9:1 compression ratio
-ARP head studs
-VR6 valve springs
-Intake keepers on the exhaust valves (to correct an inherent design flaw)
-Balanced bottom end
-New hydraulic lifters
-FE3N intake and exhaust cams
-Turbonetics T3 60 trim, .48 a/r exhaust (starts building boost at 2k rpm), turbonetics dual port wastegate actuator. Polished compressor housing.
-Custom built ceramic coated log-style manifold and downpipe.
-Polished (not internally, just for aesthetics) intake manifold.
-HKS SSQBOV
-Catco 2.5" cat. converter
-Pacesetter cat-back exhaust w/straight through muffler
-FC RX-7 550cc injectors
-Walbro 190lph fuel pump
-Flex-a-lite electric cooling fan
Transmission:
-Phantom grip
-Pacesetter shifter
-Southbend OFE clutch disk w/DXD pressure plate
-Redline MTL fluid
Electronics/instrumentation:
-Megasquirt v2.2 board, running MSNS 024.s19 code
-Crane Hi-6 ignition
-AEM Wideband gauge/controller (linked to MS)
-Autometer ultra-lite 1600f EGT gauge
-Autometer ultra-lite 20psi boost gauge
-KnocksenseMS knock indicator (linked to MS for knock retard)
-Apexi AVC-R boost controller
-Optima red-top battery mounted in trunk
Suspension:
-H&R sport springs
-Tokico blue struts (2ndgen in front for added susp. travel)
-Addco endlinks
-PGT 18mm rear sway bar
-OEM rear strut tower brace
-AWR front strut tower brace
Interior/Exterior/accessories:
-Momo Runner steering wheel
-Momo shift knob
-MX-6 front seats.
-Power drivers seat.
-Auto dimming rearview mirror
-Keyless entry
-Hella 550 Fog lamps
-FOHA rear spoiler (rare euro only part)
-Cerwin Vega 10" bandpass w/mtx amp.
keep in mind the engine int he car is a VERY rare JDM DOHC FE-3. this motor never came to america, and there are maybe 6-10 total in the states. the wing on the car is also a VERY rare optional mazda wing in europe. on all the mazda forums, this is for sure the only one that is known about in america.

"I hate you, when you die I'll spit on your grave... no I do a burnout on it!!!"
