Same motor as in 2L Proteges just turned the other way around. I think about 140HP. I have some pics of this somewhere...

Is the Potentia suspension setup the same as the HC's?

The Potentia is a Mazda HC but in Kia trim. The car was produced from 92.5-97.

Heres the FE3N motor. I know this engine has been turbo'd in other Mazda applications.

Yeah I knew it was an HC-based car but I wasn't sure if there were some weird differences/improvements, etc. Well, I'll definately look into an order.

There are a few items on the Potentia that are of interest to me. Since it is LHD the faux woodgrain panels will match up. There also seems to be a few models with a rear aero extension lip. The rear taillights & chrome trim seem to look more classy than our USDM models. And we all know those projector headlights are sic.

Solid motors from what Ive heard. Maybe the answer to a SR20DET if anyone chooses to invest a chuck of dough...

Those FE3's are **** good motors. I don't know what the build is like stock, but a buddy went 11.26 on that motor in his 90 Probe.
