name your odd car parts
 

ok just sitting here thinking....what is the rarest car(fb) part you have or have seen. Im not talking about a custom 1 off thing.... like the purple barney body kit or my headlight kit. I personaly have the chrome luggage rack bar peice that goes right behind the back of the seats on the metal bar in the hatch area. Its made to hook the stock straps to and it helps keep the bags from flying forward. I think the RAREST thing i have seen is a hard hatch cover like a fc and fd have.... it was on ebay. it hooked to the struts so it opened when the rear hatch was opened and it covers the hatch area from prying eyes.

I've got an origanal Key that is all steel (no plastic on it) That has a rectangular Mazda insignia on it just like the one on the front of the car. And Still have the little case for the lug wrench.

my intake manifold(upper and lower)...
instead of the RE-EGI i got the red
RE-SUPER INJECTION letterings...
i've seen some for sale on ebay, but that was a long time ago

i have a couple how about a twin distributor 12a?
Or a an 85 with a cubby hole under the radio factory above the ash tray?
How about sunroofless first gens those are kinda rare i have 2 and a half. Some jerk put in aftermarket one in the v8 car
how about the back panel that says rx-7 instaed of just being black between the tail lights.
Factory rear spoilers just got one of those.
Also to my surprise i also have luguage rack in oen fo my new cars i just got.
There are alot of little things that are hard to find that are rare kinda like a treasure hunt everytime i go look at one.

I have that key, also. Does yours open the glove box & storage bins? Mine doesn't.

a friends got 2 dual dizzy 12a's in his shop FUNKY looking.
ive seen a fewof the rx7 center plates on the back in a junk yard none the less. factory spoilers (wings) arent to hard to get.
How about a 10a rotor housing (front) 1 in 9.5 condition. thats the joy of my display stuff :)

I've got that back pannel that says Rx-7 instead of that ugly plastic thingy... I like the look of it.

Yup. Mine opens every thing...

Sounds like yours might be a Vale (sp) key.

Se you give that one to the parking attendant and then he can't open every thing in the car.

Never thought of it being a valet key. Wonder if I can get the glove box & bin locks re-keyed?

Ooh, ooh, I've got something REALLY rare. A complete UNFADED black rear hatch carpet and plastic set. People make fun of the rear louvers but they sure do work to protect the rear interior... the seats in my '7 are the '81-'83 non-adjustable headrest type, I haven't seen too many of them. The center console on mine (where the power window switches would be) is one large coin tray, no cutouts for anything and no armrest. Also have bins with unbroken lid hinges. The prize would have to be my urethane IMSA airdam. I don't see many of them around, all firberglass....

Yeah i have a complete 10a and also a four speed tranny from like a rx3? maybe.

my rarest..hmm...would have to be the IMSA airdam..spoiler (which isnt that rare......)
and the actual mazda targa band....

ohh..ya, and i have a sunroofless gsl model 85
.....

hows that for rare:)

I have an LE so I have the nice 14" wheels (kinda rare). My racecar is a sunroof car. I also have an orig. key for the LE.

I have an extremely rare set of 13" alloy wheels for RX4 that were only available as an option, a set of 13" '79 LE wheels, and seven 14" '83 LE wheels.

how about the rotor shaped rims? (love to get a set of those)

peace

I have 83 LE rims, Those are kinda rare. I also drive a S daily, they seem to be kinda rare, most of the 7's I know of are GS and higher, I've only seen a handful of the base models.

i see a lot of those base model... I've only seen 4 GSL-SE where i live since i've come to known rx-7's... i see alot of convertable rx-7...

another rare thing is a switch right next to my dimmer switch where the choke would be if it was carburated... it starts the car no matter what... i've never seen a switch in anyother GSL-SE that i've seen both running and in the yard... I'll take a pic of it...

and the key thing... i think i have one of that too that opens up the bins and the glove box...

a rare thing between 84 and 85 GSL-SE is this check valve that goes in front of the intake manifold for the LATE 85 GSL-SE's and the early 85 and 84 don't have this check valve

almost forgot... i've seen a 10a still inside the wagon and was complete...

the motor doesn't say 10a like the 12a or the 13B
all its imprinted is MAZDA in signiture lettering..

Because editing a post would be far too difficult :D

About the rarest part I have is the owners manual and the original rubber piece that holds the rearview in place. :D


Oh yeah - funfact. After you've pulled the rats nest, you can trim one of the solenoid tubes to about 1 1/2-2 inches long and put it on the rearview - works as good as the stock one, and if you pick your hose properly - it will even be straight! :D

I have a lighted stock hood with speed holes

I've got a 12aTurbo intake manifold, with lots of porting done to it.

:withstupi

Yeah, I have the same stuff for my car. Actually, I have the owners manual, and the "maintenence sheet" thingy too.

I also made my own rear view mirror thing that your talking about from my old rats nest crap too, but I do have the original from my 83 GSL :).

Timing belt...

I've never seen one personally, but this one asshole tried to sell me one. I never went beck to that gas station again.

By far the rarest in my opinion, BTW why do those break so much, i have yet to see two unbroken bin lids hinges
