KLZE….???

@015fead8a6=barrywhite21:
Apparently there was a ford telstar with a KLZE. :?
That's disturbing. They were sold in Japan too, for some reason.
@015fead8a6=barrywhite21:
the 626 forum admin has confirmed there was a 626 Klze however its was Japan only.
**Call me awkward here, but… that doesn't really look like confirmation. "Of course there was" meets pretty much the same level of proof as 626 appearing on a receipt for the engine - and the following lack of certainty ("I think only in Japan") - still leaves this pretty much up in the air.
I'd love to hear from someone who has actually pulled a ZE from a 626 (or Telstar… Brrrrrrrr).
For clarification, I'm not saying there was never a ZEd 626. I am saying that I've heard rumours of it before but I've never had satisfactory confirmation from someone who's had hands on one, such as we have - repeatedly and often - from MX-6s. It's not an "argument", more a search for proof.**
-
Ok point taken thats fair enough, my line of thought was if anyone would know, it would be the admin for a 626 forum, however your right "of course there was" is a bit sketchy, more details needed i agree.
I know its not an arguement, i just wanted someone to post a reply and also agree its a quest for knowledge. However as it stands im leaning towards yes there was :D.
I think other than phoning Japan we will never get a definitive yes or know :(

**I'm not phoning Japan a second time. It was hard enough getting a straight answer the first!
I've stuck them on the list as "Unconfirmed". Seems fair enough that they're rumoured in a few places, yet no-one's seemingly put their mitts onto one.**

Even if you had a 626 with a KLZE in it, it's still not absolute proof that was put in by Mazda OEM.
I'll see if I can derive anything from my EPC, but I get the feeling it won't cover Jspec cars.
Either way you have a KLZE = result.

Yeh your right, just goes down as another MX-3 urban legend!!!!

Unless the engine number matched the VIN plate…

Good plan! Bummer if it doesn't cover them, but it's worth a shot.

I know this is a fairly old thread, but where does the MX-6 GT come into things?
Does this have the 200BHP KLZE like the jap imports?
I've been told it has 200BHP, but confirmation would be cool!
-
Yes should have. As long as engine hasn't been changed. I've seen a mx6 gt with a mx3 engine before. Owner was gutted when he found out! It will have j spec headlights. Think possibly folding mirrors. Think there are a couple of other features
-
Ahh cool!
One for the list on page 1 of this thread then! ^^Cheers Garfy!
-
there is a red mx6 ( possibly gt ) mx6 for sale in ashford. Its not by chance this one your looking at?.
-
Nah, my mate owns one he's selling. He's not based in Ashford, though the car might be?? How much it going for?
-
just saw it for sale on facebook surprisingly. It does look like its been ragged tho. Has a flamer kit and from the project carz scene so expect it to be thrashed within an inch of its life.
-
ewww flamer kits=gay.
I'll give that one a miss! ;)
cheers for mentioning it though!
