Aftermarket parts and performance for 1984 gsl
So im getting a 1984 mazda rx7 gsl and it seems that parts for these are harder and more expensive to find than the fc, like theres 300$ coilovers for the fc but for the fb those are like 1000$, i want to get into drifting professionally, i see theres LSD kits for them, im still kinda learning but like, what if i needed to replace the whole rear end, i also see theres not really any options for fiberglass wings, ive tried alot of websites including ebay but does anyone have better resorces than ebay and stuff?

I have a FB drift car and it is not the ideal drift car, not much aftermarket support, short wheelbase, not much clearance in the front wheel wells for angle. the rear suspension setup is also not ideal for drifting since it will bind really hard.
On my car, I did the following to address the shortcomings, Check out my youtube channel
for more details
FC knuckles that are cut and welded for more angle and proper ackerman
FC coilovers
Extended control arms
Extended tie rods
Ford 8.8 rear end with Ford Trac Loc LSD (1.5 way)
Custom parallel 4 link with panhard bar
Mustang rear shocks
8in tall rear springs
Pass Through Hydraulic handbrake
