LOL new some one was gonna say something like that. Valcrow (carn't spell) gloves and gumboots are great gives you extra grip.
Another tip: take the sheep to the edge of a cliff they push back harder.
Got any more??
Cars are quite nice don't know about any body else but i was disipointed with the latest autosaloon (Auckland). But the final battle will be good cars from all over NZ

Lol. I cruised around the South Island before. Down the west coast and up the east. Bypassed Invercargill cause it's like 3 hours out of the way going to Dunedin, lol. Got pics of your ride?

Hey there. I'm from auckland NZ. Just bought a new Sport 20 FS-ZE 4WD, to replace my dear old Familia GT 1992. Its amazing what 10 years of development can do to a car. The Sport 20 handles much better, and does it all without the bone jarring ride of my old GT.



Current Familia





Previous Familia – I hope its gone to a good home

Actually a Sport20. Big differences to our SP20's which are 2WD only.

Didn't know your guys SP20's are 2wd only. All our BJI and BJII hatchback Sport20's and SP20's whatever you call them are 4WD. Only 2 litre 2WD's we have here are SP20 sedans, which are quite rare.

Thanks

Good to know. What are the key differences between the SP20 and Sport 20? I read somewhere about higher compression...

As far as I know SP20 is FWD only and Sport20's are all 4WD. No differences between nations just 2 different models. We simply got SP20's in both hatch and the sedan.

I dont know all the differences for certain, but I think our engines are almost identical, gearbox is different and I suspect the suspension would be different, at least on the rear.

Also I've only ever seen BJ1 Sport20's, never a BJ2. Whereas SP20's came out in BJ1, BJ2 and BJ2-J48 models.

Not in Japan - they're all Sport20s.

SP20s DID NOT come out in BJ1 guise, only BJII and BJII-J48 for Astinas and BJII-J48 for Proteges. The SE20 Protege was the Protege equivelant in the pre-J48 era. it had different trim, centre dash, headlights and Mazdaspeedish looking wing.

Even the FWD. Makes it a bugger when i search for parts as '4WD' isn't always written in an easily understood translatable form in japanese
