    just because its a mazda doesnt mean the swap would work. 13b rotary=rwd, mx6=fwd.

    Yes.

    I can tell you you're wasting your money and buying a shitty car.

    Well if you plan on going f/i any time soon, an MX-6 LS is pretty hard to turbo. So if I were you I would look for an RS (2.0L). I have a 95 626 with the 2.0L and I've never had a problem. Car is almost 12 years old and I've never had a CEL.

    The MX-6 is a great car. Have you ever owned one?

    I've ridden in them and I'd never want to own one.
