Maybe a 323... not a familia, kiwi.
we get famillia's in NZ as well
Hey, im Hayden from the Naki (Taranaki). I own a 1989 Toyota Trueno(crapy front wheel drive) Looking to sell soon(if n e one is keen? ha!) to buy an R33 Skyline, cant wait.
yeah mate... a real famila is a 1.8 Litre Twin cam turbo AWD... these had the BP engines. the only fake 'familia's are called 323's... they were the B6 powered ones or the B5... B6 = 1.6 twin cam, they came standard in N/A and turbo, and the B5, which is the carbie 1.5 litre... Trust me, I have a familia engine on the way for my festiva... i know this shit 
1.8litre twin cam turbo awd = familia GTX and familia GTR. familia is a car and it comes in different variations such as the clair, pepper, interplay, gtx, gtr etc etc etc. so saying that a real familia is a 1.8 litre twin cam turbo awd is actually a generalisation. the difference between a 323 and a familia is like the difference between a 200sx and a 180sx - they're the same car just that one is the nz new version and the other is the JDM version. so there is no such thing as a fake familia and a real familia. they're the same car and have the same variations.......Trust me, i live in nz and we dont have stupid import laws so its clear for us to see the differences between jdm and nz new coz we see these cars every single day. and i have owned a familia that wasnt turbo or 1.8 or awd but it was definitely a familia
i used to have a 1986/7 mazda familia limited.
1.5l 4 door.
no, it wasn't a 323.
anything that came from the mazda factory with a badge saying "familia", is a "familia".
we have cooler cars for cheaper in N.Z.

Maybe in kiwiland Mazda produced their own Familia's for you guys. But try finding a 1,5 Familia that comes out of japan... now thats impossible, simply because Mazda Aus. and Jap. never made crappy familias (ie. not the GTR or GTX one). Since im from aus. i never knew they made familias outside of the GTR or GTX models for you guys. They don't make them anywhere else. I stand corrected
Hey Jason here, I like my cars, but I choose to spend my money elsewhere these days; mainly kayaking

thats all well.....but at the end of the day.....all mazda's a shit anyway.....so who really cares
i'd like to see a 8 second 1.3 litre made by nissan or someone else 
TIVA get out of that forum!!!
doesnt the capacity of a rotary (i.e 1.3l) increase when the motor is running?
"Rotary Engine 101: Anatomy
SUMMARY
The first thing you notice about rotary engines are their incredibly compact dimensions. A basic 13B (1.3 liter) engine is approximately the size of a beer keg and can be lifted by one fit person. At the same time, it has a volumetric capacity twice that of a conventional piston engine of identical rated displacement.
How is this possible?
The secret is in the packaging. Each rotor section (rotor and housing) form three working chambers, which work simultaneously to move its entire rated displacement on each turn of the eccentric shaft."
so it sounds like, each chamber is roughly 650ml, but they have 3 chambers per rotor, and 2 rotors. so 650x3 is 1.95l, 1.95lx2 = 3.9l
but im sure the dimensions in each chamber are not all the same exactly.
A 1.3l motor wins the 2.5-3l class?
"After 40 years of engineering Wankel engines has created the all-new RENESIS engine. With an impressive 44 out of 50 votes, the RENESIS clearly outshone the competition. In addition, Mazda’s new-generation rotary engine also won the "2.5-litre to 3-litre Capacity Class Award" and "Best New Engine of 2003.""

hi arden from otorahanga, anyone elsa here from there
hi guys another kiwi here.
I am from Morrinsville.
Betwen my partner and I we own a S1 RX7 that is eventualy being fitted with a supercharged 20B (got to fit the motor now so manifolds etc can be made), we have a 5 speed 20B JC Cosmo, a S4 13B turbo, VN SS Commodore (tow/family car for now) and myself and my brother Brent are about to start the build of my 2 door 323 drag car.
Pics below.
Also the Mazda 323s in Nz were all built in Japan, I used to have a 91 323 GTX, only mods were filter and cat and rear muffler removed from factory big bore, result, 13.8 second 1/4s!
