what is the appeal of these old KS units when the group buy will be soon ready for a brand new set from Matt Gold aka. Vulcan Autoworx sleep eye kit...which IMO is much better engineered and brand new will cost almost half as much as these old KS units go for on YAJ...?

As with any parts, the knightsport is old old technology. I suppose you can buy these and put your own projectors/lights in

Is the FD Limo rare? Or are we only talking about individual parts?



How about a discontinued set of Kinesis K58 wheels?



What about the Momo FD Key?


Here is a discontinued set of Fittipaldi 500 wheels back when they used to make normal sized wheels. I have not seen in about forever.



And here is what I believe to be a Bathhurst edition intake and not sure about the IC.

I believe this is a MOMO branded Royal Clover key.

If you haven’t fallen down the Royal Clover rabbit hole, prepare yourself.

Long story short - lots of vehicle specific keys and lots of cooler (IMO) universal keys. I have a few cool ones here. My favorite is the Pole Position.

That is the Australian SP Edition, a homologation version for the Bathurst production car race. Very rare. It had a sprinkle of JDM RZ & RS parts, with a locally tuned engine, and a Touring spec body (sunroof etc). The pic below is from here.

I saw some of the optional 16" magtech wheels on YAJ without center caps, semi-recently. Should have got a shot.

JDM Mazda Optional Hand Steps... perfect for those of us that roll out of our cars instead of exiting gracefully!

There's a stainless Ganador up on YAJ. Looks like a good deal and good condition.

Somebody paid $1000usd for a set of OEM rear clear markers, and I haven't seen too many of the OEM ones, but it just keeps blowing my mind.

I follow a bunch of Japanese FD guys on twitter and I saw a tweet a month or so ago talking about people in Japan bidding up auctions so the parts wouldn't go to foreigners.

The general attitude on here seems to be that JDM FD's are the "cheap" ones, get them while you can, because they are getting to be more expensive over here than anywhere internationally.

They are getting pissed about the fact that all of their sports cars have been exported. You have to search long and hard to find something decent people here people are willing to sell anymore.

I've heard this too, even about the S13's JZX's etc. I sorta get it but the people who own those cars will get a premium when they sell them now

Sorry to get off topic.

Are these OEM 99-Spec vent mesh inserts??? Haven't seen them before...
Looks like it's not just "mesh" behind the bumper, it has a thin lip edge that contours perfectly with the vent opening outer shape...
