Where can I find some indepth technical info on the engine, compression ratio, bore/stroke, etc, and on the transmission, gear ratios etc.....

Well, I believe it's the same engines from the Mazda6, so I guess we could start copying some info (at least on the 2.3... but the 6 also has a 2.0 internationally, although it isn't much discussed) from Mazda6Club.com

Mazda3 - 2.3L

160 HP
150 ft.lbs.
2800 lbs. (with driver)
Auto. transmission from '03 protege
0-60 = 8.4

So if they change auto transmission, it'll be around 8 seconds for 0-60 mph [0-100 km/h]

How about a little graph to get this thread going? Apparently the oil filter cartridge can be swapped so you can use a regular spin-on filter... Can anyone confirm this?

Sorry you are confused.

The GVW on the sticker is the maximum safe weight of the vehicle loaded. Loaded means the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and tow weight... The only thing it has to do with the vehicle weight itself it that it is the vehicle weight plus load.
