Very hard to find, Mazda GT Coupe, this is the 144 BHP version. 2. 0 16V DOHC.
The car is in great condition for age with no rust underneath. New MOT, New windscreen, lovely velour interior in fantastic condition very akin to Ford Recaro seats, Cruise control, elec windows, elec sunroof (glass), central locking, original radio is also available. Very comprhensive 626 Repair manual, all service books, factory wallet with all sales info. 15" alloys with good tyres, the car is ready to drive but ideally would need a cambelt change (I have a new kit but I may not get around to it as very busy) but otherwise is good to go. I can't find another for sale, someone said there was another one up for £3K.... I can't find it.
There are some small age related dinks etc but overall this is a super rare and very capable car, even by todays standards!
No time wasters.
This is an extract from the net about the FE Non-Interference engines... It is still commonly called the FE3 because of its head castings. The FE-DOHC shares the same dimensions as the original FE-SOHC, including the square 86 mm bore × stroke and it has an ideal 1. 74 rod/ stroke ratio. The FE-DOHC is usually identified by a gold-coloured cam cover, however not always. There were at least five different FE-DOHC engines available with various compression ratio, camshaft and ECU tuning combinations, however none were fitted with a turbocharger from the factory. Despite this, the FE-DOHC is already built for turbo with large forged connecting rods, large journal dimensions, oil cooler, piston oilers, web-stiffened block with main girdles (and braceplate where equipped). This robust engine design is a favourite of tuners who are aware of its capability because it already has a high-power capacity perfect for custom turbo jobs. As much as 600 whp has been seen on a stock engine. The common FE-DOHC crankshaft is cast while the forged crankshaft is fitted to the aluminum sump engines with both the main bearing braces and the main bearing girdle plate. In European 10. 0:1 compression, non-catalytic trim, the FE-DOHC produces 148 ps (108 kW) at 6000 rpm and 133 lb/ ft (182 Nm) at 4000 rpm..............
