GIVE ME THE BUCKLE!! Let me be a halfway Asian redneck!! Just kidding. That is awesome though.

Thanks man. I got lucky with that find at a car model hobby shop off International Dr in Orlando. I saw it was stupid at first and didn't buy it. Went back like 2 months later and it was still there. It was meant to be mine. I also have a rare metal mug that I will post a picture of later.

my rarest part is probably the 3rd gen S6 Power FC engine management wired to a S5 T2 motor swapped in an S2. I don't know of many people sporting that.

kenn chan has one. I'm not sure if he has an S4 or S5, but I ordered and sent him a Power FC since they wouldn't ship overseas to him. That was part of our trade for the SSRs and big brake kit now on the widebody.

[QUOTE=mckinneyml;6371621]Ok, here are some pictures of tonneau covers that I have found. The first two look like they mount to the ceiling and cover the rear windows. The last one is like a typical SUV cover and rolls up.

Actually I have the leather one in my car, although it's gotten a bit water damaged. The cover has a bar going across behind the rear seats where the middle snaps too. The pockets then hang down and snap onto, I suppose, the rear bulk head. Then you have these nice little pockets to put stuff in. The long ends go back and stay and the middle hooks onto where the glass struts are and lifts. I'll get a good shot of mine inside later on.

You can kind of see it in this shot, and my other quite rare piece =)

I gotta ski rack I used to have mounted in the early 80's when it was my DD. The top would mount at the body hatch hinge and the other part would go thru the opening of the rear bumper and body and attach at the tow tie down. I don't remember if it was a dealer or aftermarket part anymore though.

i have a rx-3 speedometer that i will be installing in the center console....

I bet you could get some decent coin out of that if you sold it. Why the center console?

I would so buy one if you were willing to make them.

it is in amazing condition......

I am going for a very minimal looking dash maybe only tach behind the steering wheel, and i just like the idea of the speedo in the center console for some reason.

It's real
 

Hmm lets see how about this one

http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/g...p/IMG_0040.jpg

Picked this up off Ebay a few years back from Charlie Hurst, Walt Bohren's crew chief. For those that don't recognize the name this is the original door off of the 1979 factory #77 Daytona Racer the car was used (i think given) to Walt Bohren following Daytona then the number was changed to 7

I'm sure you have all of us beat with your 'little' collection. I was so hoping that door was in the green colors in case I ever got a wild hair to build a replica of the factory car.

nope but i got lots a pics of that one plus i am sure that mazda R&D would help us with the color information since they did the one running around now

do you know where i can find the front spoiler?
or is it just impossible to find...

I have 8 of theese rotorwheels in my garage...

I have a mechanical tachometer gear drive, bolts to the MOP drive.

rare bits
 

Lessee:
1) have an NOS set of 80 12a housings. Unobtainium now, I'm told...
2) set of NOS european-spec SA tailight lenses
3) complete set of all FOUR SA-type alloy wheels:
-4 NOS silver waffles - all mounted on NOS original Bridgestone spare tires (amazing how many people pulled these out of there RX7s, sold the cars, then found these later in the garage!)
-4 NOS 79 Limited rims
-4 NOS "Keyhole" style SA rims
-4 Gold Waffles now on car with new Sumi HTRs
4) NOS "Limited" badge the Japanese-market Limited model came with (where the "Rotary engine" badge mounts on US cars)
5) NOS set of FB European electric porsche-style door mirrors
6) Manual SA European-spec door mirrors (on car)
7) OEM mazda rear rubber duck-tail spoiler (as opposed to N. Am. aftermarket fibre-glass unit sold thru dealers here)- standard on UK and European FBs, some Japanese FB models
8) RX2 wiper wing (as used on factory racing RX7s)
9) Japanese "SavannaRX7" fender badges
10) RX8 Leather-stitched FIVE speed shift knob (threads right on!) - as opposed to 6 speed-only sold here (for European market: base RX8 was a five speed)
11) NOS Nikki carb - lovingly modded by Carl and Sterling. Too busy looking at it on work bench to install yet!
12) Japanese SA overhead lighting console (pic out of parts book - item buried in my parts shed). features a swiveling map light. Bought in Australia...
13) OEM SA Parts Book. Nice to have. Never seen one anywhere...
14) nice (tho incomplete) collection of SA Japanese market brochures. Likewise european, UK and Australian SA brochures too...
15) NOS leather-wrapped OEM steering wheel - still in box, haven't the nerve to actually use it ;)
16) does still having the ORIGINAL paint count as rare?? Sunrise Red! Still glows like new (see Savanna badge)

And here's my contributions from my mint red leather interior (daily driver, not garage queen):

I have an original one owner SA. If that counts.

Finally got the pics up for the Kas Kastner Holley Turbo kit installed in my 82 GSL. I'm still not sure how rare the kit is, or how many people have it still as I've seen some inquiries about it online but no in depth detail.

I still have all the installation instructions and documents related to the kits production, but replacing the Rajay blower with one exactly the same might prove a little difficult now that the company that makes them no longer builds turbos for cars.

man im seein a lot of great parts i bet very few will sell. i just bought mint conditions tan a-pillar pieces and turn signal assembly with cruise at very good prices. keepin it for spares.. does that count as a rare part? lol

I've been debating about getting a set of Euro SA tail lenses but I'm still holding out to see what Dan comes up with

I have original tire chains that came from dealership and original owner, some documentation on ownership, books, business card from salesman. I also have a set of one off BOYD wheels, before Boyd Coddington's, 15x7 in 4x110, refinishing and drilling some holes for my new baby's 4x114....maybe....

if you'd post a pic of that dealer invoice that would count :lol:

Stu- whats all this NOS stuff? And can I has it?

I dont' think I still have the dealer invoice, although I may. I do remember I had to pay $9700 for it. Which was a premium at the time. And I got every option available at the time, except for the leather package. I got the sunroof, AC, the five speed, and the waffle wheels. You had to get the wheels if you bought the sunroof. It was sold as a package only.

I still remember the smell of the undercoating burning off after I took it for a test drive. And the drive home from Sioux City, back to Okoboji. You could take your hands off the steering wheel and it would run straight as an arrow forever.

not sure if all these are on the rare side:

kamei air dam for SA
chrome tag lights
mud flaps
digital clock on SA
glass roof on SA

^^ you need to sale me that kamei front and those chrome light covers.


i have one of the last IMSA front ends BRAND NEW and still in the box.

Hey aws, I'll trade you my Kamei for the IMSA LOL

no way buddy. the price difference is IMMENSE. add some cheddar onto that deal and then we can talk.

i'm skeptical , lets see some pics :biggrin:

Factory Rx7 Race car in Build (Daytona #7)

Ummm... I have a dealer installed 3 piece spoiler on my 85 GS... not sure if that's rare or not though..

they are getting more and more rare. the three piece spoiler is part of the IMSA appearance package which consisted of the front air dam, targa band, and the three piece rear spoiler. the parts could be bought together or seperatly.

Rare, what do I have that is "rare".

Almost had my hands on a Xenon front lip.
Maybe the 3 piece spoiler that needs work.
A rear seat?

rear seats are pretty rare...

Not in Australia:lol:

Cargo bins in first gens on the other hand?...well i've never seen any here in Aus...no one has gone to the expense of bringing some in from the USA....yet.

Cam...

THAT LOOKS AMAZING


WANT.:drool1:

that targa is home made though. thats not rare at all unless you count the fact no one does it

yeah, looks pretty good though, no?

it looks sharp ya i'll definitly admit that- there was a company (i think pacific avatar) doing professional conversions in the 80s- theres a thread on here about it

They did a soft top conversion, as a convertable. Used a Mercedes top, I believe SL500 or something? All mercedes look the same to me.

Black rear seats reporting in :D

Buckles and belts included. I buckled in a gallon of milk once.

Black88inmd I had the second tonneau cover pictured but tossed it :wallbash: I kept the bar across tho because its handy to keeps things from sliding forward and to strap stuff to. I took out all of the snaps as well. Didn't realize it was a dealer item until much later. Oh well.

i think these are getting pretty rare now :icon_tup:
