Will need a rebuild sooner rather than later as the rotor tips wear out. Can be had cheaply and tuned cheaply but guzzle fuel. Very nice handling and can be ferociusly quick when tweaked. Brakes are really good for a standard car but the awesome handling comes at the expense of a very hard ride.

That could be something simple like a relay or switch. Have you had someone check it out.

Has a UKFD few years back man it was a nice car the best handling car by a mile. Any questions best to get yourself on FDUK.org or mazdarotaryclub both full of friendly guys and gals. My mate has a single turbo (which im guessing yours is as twins bit ott for that set up. Do able but extreme) and that was over 500 and that was RAPIIIIIID!!

As for rebuild my old uk when sold had 125k on it with its only rebuild at 80k so not too bad just have to look after them very well.
