Thumbs up Jdm 1st Gen Rx7 Question

Somebody posted on the forum a place that sells hard to find jdm parts for the 1st 2nd and 3rd gen rotaries. I have been having a hard time finding that thread or post or reply.

Reason why I ask is because the website he mentioned sold steering wheels, hubs and the quick release for the first gen rx7. If anyone knows please send me a quick reply to my post.

Also will the fc steering wheel fit the first gen if so I could just buy the for the fc and place it on the my first gen any suggestions, or remarks just let me know.

Any RX-7 steering wheel should fit in any RX-7. Even up to the J-Spec Efini wheels. PM DaGOATCorrollaGTS, he can get you any JDM part you want

I'd like to know what jdm parts you are looking for as well. I don't see the allure of jdm parts, myself, but maybe I am missing something. To me the stock stuff here is plenty good enough.

I think the allure of JDM parts came from the Honda crowd, and how in some cases JDM was better factory performance. Many of their cars had the B series motor when ours had the less powerful D series.
