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 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.

rotarydude 01-27-08 10:01 PM

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

trochoid 01-27-08 10:18 PM

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.

rotarydude 01-30-08 06:21 PM

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

I've got an ISCRacing airbox. I got it shortly before they stopped listing it on their site and don't know if they're available anymore. Mine is the only car I've ever seen with one, or one like it.

My clear/opaque taillights are one of only 3 made like them. IoTus made a set for his car (that he sold, don't know who has it now), one set for DirectFreak and a set for me.

An immaculate condition Canadian owner's manual, printed in both official languages (English/French). There can't be many of those still in good condition.

I had a stock block heater. I threw it out because it was useless on my summer car, but it probably would be rare. It was the strangest thing, like a metal heating element that bolted around rotor1's spark plugs.

Ron Davis aluminum radiator. I don't know who else has one, but can't be many people. In fact, there wasn't even a picture of it on the website until after they made mine!

That about sums up my rare parts unless Dan Atkins' lenses, powdercoated + rims or FD alts with dual v-belt pulleys are rare.

Oh yeah, and a glass sunroof, of course!

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

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

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)

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.

boyee 03-11-08 04:21 PM

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

FirebirdSlayer666 03-11-08 11:14 PM

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

82BUCKET 03-12-08 01:26 AM

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....
