Oh you didn't get one of those? Late build 04's have a Mazdaspeed turbo installed with an indicator on the dash...
Ha, in our dreams! :p Isn't that the gear indicator for the AT?

Hey, check out the picture in the top row on the far right. The fan and temperature control dials are different. And the temp control dial says "Push AUTO." Damn, I wish I had that! Damn Mazda, they promised me auto climate control!

*Scratches head* Boy, I don't know what that is then. It's not a real dash obviously. The oil pressure gauge is too low (I know it's a fake gauge to begin with, but the real fake points slightly to the right).
Wow, I'm looking at these pictures. Do you guys realize we have a BEAUTIFUL car? Holy cow.

I think this is a RHD model that they have pics of on the USA site. Notice that the oil is on the left and temp is on the right...call me crazy but I think mine are the other way around.
I know for a fact that the fuel is on the opposite side too.

The right button toggles between km and miles readings on the speedometer and odometer.

wow, we have now confused the issue by referring to THREE different models:
1. the Japanese model (Which is featured on the Mazda site...where the gauges are reversed due to the right-side drivers seat) that has 2 trip buttons
2. the Aussie model that only has 1 trip button
3. the US model that has 2 trip buttons and the gauges are reversed from the shown photos.
Whew! that was a lot.
