Ah..thanks for the enlightenment...I got that info back when in an arguement with an "Imports suck" guy, who owned a 1991 Escort and a early-nineties Stealth, yet insisted that "all imports r crap" and "if u buy a import u shoud get kicked out of this county becuz ur anti american" and I must've mixed my facts a bit since then.

I seem to remember that much of the electricals were Mazda's, too.
