This is a really cool project :)

Over here in :norway: the MX-3 and GE MX-6 was somewhat unusual, but even then quite a few did a KL-K8 to KL-DE/KL-ZE swap since it was really straightforward and essentially impossible to spot without putting the car on a dyno.

This is a neat project. These little cars deserve more respect than they usually get.

Did they sell the 323f/Lantis up there? Like a tiny four door 928 with an MX5 engine. I'm a sucker for Japanese sedans with frameless windows.

Yeah, we got the 323F with the 1.8 and 1.6 iirc. The 1.8 16V moved quite well all things considered.

The BP is an underrated motor imo. It's a shame they didn't come in 323's in the states, you had to buy a Protege (4 door) to get one or get an Escort GT which had them as well. I had the BG Escort GT with a BP and it was a blast, one of the best cars I've owned.

Or comedy option Kia Sephia which was also a BG chassis with a Korean built BP, I had one of those too, it drove great but the cheap rear end Kia interior was disintegrating on me :(

Yeah, I have a 1999 MX5 10AE with the BP-DOHC 1.8, 6 speed transmission and torsen diff and it's a hoot to drive. Wouldn't mind some more power, but it's pretty much impossible to add a turbo or supercharger legally, so meh...
