...what are these like for reliability once you tune them up? Transmission ok for c350bhp? Engine internals? Any good UK Owners Clubs? ...can't think of any other questions, so I'll probably leave it there buddy.
Yea certainly sounds like it mate, will be giving one of these a wee shot when the time comes to get back out on the road me thinks.

Im still new to the mazda tuning, but from what ive seen and read on the owners club you dont need to change the internals till 400-450bhp, the fuel pump needs to be changed at 350bhp, ive not heard or seen of any drama with the transmission but people in the uk are only running 400bhp max
300-320bhp seems quie easy and cheap to get so thats first stop see whats it like then need to keep it sensible cause its my daily to
