If you want more info, send Mandee on this forum a PM

The SP23 2.3 litre has a few less kw than the Mazda 6 version, and this is due to the fact that it has a more restrictive single exhaust over the Mz6's higher flowing dual exhaust.

She ran 15.3 at the plex, with no mods, and we are quite sure it'll cut a high 14 with some mild intake and exhaust mods (especially the exhaust!).

It does very well at AHG, and the instructors who drove her car were very impressed. Awesome handling for a FWD, and it becomes even better with a few suspension tweaks

Mandee has improved the handling by fitting a set of Lovells springs and front and rear Whiteline swaybars. Dare I say it turns in better than my WRX, and it feels incredibly stable...

Well priced, good quality, and the interior SHITS all over that of a WRX. For a bit more, the leather and bose stereo are available also.
