As the title suggest... Only condition is that the item would have to be carried home by him on the plane, so no full exhaust set-ups and ****.

I have an NA....

Genuine Mazdaspeed shiftknob. It even screws on the existing lever, no universal bolt down junk.

OK, here's what you can get me from Japan if you've got the "hookup"

- NUB side MIRRORS for the FC
- Window Vent Shades (mazda or aftermarket)
- 1991 FC3S Efini Wheels (if you can find them)
- Rear bumper skirts
- Run Racing (or similar) spoiler (not too ricey & looks nice)
- the nicer looking "bolt on" front airdams (almost looks like a bodykit)
- any FC3S glass moonroof from a junkyard
- reverse cowl hoodscoops (ie you cut the OEM hood & blend these in)
- nose corner spoilers (provides more downforce) that aren't too big

Exactly. If my friend was the incredible hulk, and he has a private jet, then yeah, I can get all that ****.

The Mazdaspeed shift **** looks too "Razo" to me...anything else I should get?

Maybe it's the other way around and the Razo stuff is too Mazdaspeed. That stuff is the genuine article, in my mind it doesn't get better than that. It's got the gate pattern on the top and the lettering Mazdaspeed recessed in white on the side. Whatever, it's your car.

Go to www.mazdaspeed.net They're just an importer, but you'll be able to browse the Mazdaspeed catalogue there. Most of the merchandise will probably be revamped or nixed by now because of Mazdaspeed being absorbed into Mazda Motors, and things have changed. But much of it may still remain. Either way it's a good start. They've got all these rotary mugs and stickers and t-shirts too. Fantastic.

Okay, I see the Razoish **** you're talking about now. The cylindrical one with the anodized ends (not my bag either). The one I'm talking about is this...

It's #6 right beside the wooden one

I'd ask him to bring me back a set of JDM FTP lenses, Gauge cluster, and the rear moldings between the rear wheels and rear bumper.

One important question: Where can I find junkyard addresses for my friend though?

Post some pics. Many of us have been clamoring for information on this neato part. Does it plug-and-play? How well does it work?

If you bring some of those in, people would go nuts.

He means the AC/heater controls are digital. The logicon/dummy lights are still backlit, not digital.

J-spec FTPs are actuall lights, not just lenses.

Ok man, lets do this - my friend is willing to carry a couple of SMALL items (no moonroofs and ****) for me, and since I don't really have anything in mind, I will hook you guys up.

Conditions are that:

1) The item cannot be from a junkyard, since my friend doesn't know jack **** about cars and wouldn't be able to tell a RX-7 from a Supra.

2) Nothing over $50 - if you want to order something small but the price is over $50, send me a cheque first.''

3) You must provide me with the manufacturer and the model no. of the part (So no "the bumper I saw from ***")

The definiton of small is nothing bigger than, say, what a regular paper grocery shopping bag can hold.

PM me if you want stuff - first come first serve.
