Is there a mechanical difference between the 3door, 5door, Sedan or Wagon?
So far from what I've found (not too much) there's no difference, not even the track or wheelbase ...
So parts for the ZX3 should bolt right onto the Wagon right?

The obvious differences are lights, glass, body panels ... some not so obvious difference is in exhaust and rear suspension (wagon) ... track and wheelbase are indeed the same.

As for ZX3 stuff bolting right on a wagon, most mechanical bits yes ... rear suspension bits - no.

OK, Thanks.
That's mostly what I was wondering about.
