I live in the UK and own a rather pleasant MX-3 V6. Red, of course...
![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)
Of late I've been having thoughts of modifying it - I contemplated some FI a while back, but the cost was, at the time, prohibitive. With that in mind I've decided to upgrade various components - suspension & braking (especially after a fun suicidal manoeuvre from some daft bint the other day) in particular.
I've been struck with a thought to create a "Mazdaspeed MX-3 V6", utilising Mazdaspeed parts as much as possible.
However, I'm encountering a few problems. Firstly, I know of NOWHERE that sells Mazdaspeed parts for the MX-3 in the UK - and there's no way on Earth I'm buying parts sight unseen from two continents over. Secondly, thanks to the devisive and often contradictory nature of the internet, I'm not fully aware of Mazdaspeed having actually MADE any uprated parts for the MX-3. Lastly, I'm curious as to whether Mazdaspeed ever made a Mazdaspeed MX-3/Presso.
So...
[abridged version]
1. Does anyone know of any Mazdaspeed suppliers in the United Kingdom? Do they stock MX-3 parts?
2. Does anyone know if Mazdaspeed ever got around to making a Mazdaspeed MX-3, and if so, what are the specs (if it exists, I aim to get as close as I possibly can, mechanically)?
3. Anyone got a beer?

I'm particularly looking for under-the-skin alterations - over and above external stuff. Engine work will come along later. Perhaps. If I've not bought a Lotus Esprit V8 by then.
(and yes, I've checked the links on the main page. They're either non-UK based - unsurprisingly - or all broken).
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
