Just found this thread, and loooots of goodies, and some things I didn't even know existed... cool

and I think I have an interesting thing on my car, bought it from Japan for 6 years ago.. with knightsport front and side fenders, but the wing... looks like an overgrown oringal wing but... have NO idea what brand or so... guessing on Knightsport since the ECU also was a KS one




Anyone have a clue? only seen one more car with this wing, and that is from an old Jackie Chan movie
IMCDb.org: 1991 Mazda RX-7 [FD] in "Pi li huo, 1995"

And also my car is fitted with the Desmond Regamaster 17" rims... 8,5" and 9" wide



the knightsport front, soon to be replaced with a RE-amemiya AD-facer N1 (the withe one the previous picture, sent to be repainted)

Wolf, your RX-7 looks SICK. I love that last pic! I usually like stock RX-7's but your bodykit looks awesome! Great Job!

I'm a little new to the rotary/rx7 stuff but I do believe I have some rare coilovers. Tell me if I'm wrong? They are Toms racing advox.

Ive always wanted to see that KS wing mounted, but is hard to find pics of FDs with it. A guy here has one that has just been sitting and he wants 75.00 for it i think. It could be a replica tho, but looks pretty good one. Ive always liked that one but idk if i can pull it off either.

Really, do you know the model name of the wing? Really odd wing but I think it's great :-)

Mine was mounted when I bought the car and not eveb thinking of replacing it

I haven't it bought it yet fellas. I'm keeping an eye out on it, but I will more than likely take a stab at getting it since it's still on YAJ. Just wondering if anyone else had seen it before. I knowwwwwwwwwwwww I've seen that design before somewhere, I just can't remember.

Ok it's getting to be crunch time for me to acquire this hood! Has no one seen this before? I keep getting this feeling burning into the back of my head that this isn't a Veilside hood and someone just added the stickers! I've seen this thing before somewhere, it's making me crazy!

Did you snag that hood? I almost did.. until after really looking at the pictures you can see its quite oxidized and I couldn't bother paying to get it resprayed when it would have been $1100 from Japan for me.

Yea I did end up getting it and I wasn't too please. For some reason I didn't pick up on that oxidation. It's weird, it's like the weave is discolored under the gel coat so I'm selling it locally.

I did however get a FRP FEED hood it damned good condition, just need to get it painted.

Bah that's too bad.. It seemed pretty nice but the sellers comments and negative feed back lead me to really look into it.

Carbon fiber degrades from UV rays. That is why you have to clear coat it to protect it from the sun.
