I’m slowly getting things together. Hopefully be able to install them this season but more than likely next. More so the suspension. It’s extremely mint but I have no idea how things are with it considering it’s about 2 decades old. I’m definitely getting them rebuilt. The bumper though I hope to get installed later this season.

 

Man I saw the Mazdaspeed suspension on YAJ and was so curious. They look awesome.

 

Yep, it’s one of those things that rarely come up. When they do it’s either pounce or get left behind. I think there were 58-60 bids by the end of it. It was not easy but I managed to obtain it at the last possible second.
It’s as if they test fitted the pieces but never ran it on the car? There’s little to no wear on all the pieces. I was tempted to just install them, but knowing my luck, one of them would be blown. Lol. I doubt it since all the writing and the stickers are completely intact. Better to play it safe though and get them properly tested if not rebuilt.

 

I picked up that coin tray a few years ago myself. Paid quite a bit for it considering what it is haha, but I was on a rare parts hunt at the time.

Holy ****, nice find! I didn't even know those existed.

 

Shout out to whoever just scored the 18" MS-01's. I've heard of these, but I don't remember ever seeing a set of 18's at auction. Seems like a good deal too. Not my style, or I would've been a bidder.

 

@TwinCharged RX7 I saw those cool MS Volks. Nice score!
@Neo Where did you find that R-spec bumper!? It is Authentic?

 

it has been a long sought after part I’ve been trying to get ahold of. Thankfully a forum member helped me out. Was a great conversation and we worked it out.
I only use authentic parts. No reps.

 

They are in Japan, and going on a Eunos Cosmo!

 

Interesting that they used 700lb-in springs front and rear.

Who build them for MS originally?

 

I couldn’t tell you. I tried to find more hidden writing on them but they literally just have whatever the stickers say. No other etching anywhere on them…
I’ll ask some of the Mazda people and see if they know. Majority of the people I know though have retired. So the mystery might never be solved.

 

Just got this in. Not perfect but decent condition.

 

Evidently a power window regulator for the driver’s side of a1989 RX7 convertible is pretty rare as I can’t find one anywhere. The company says they haven’t stopped making them just on back order with no release date. Anyone have an extra?

 

@Neo Woah! Awesome you scored yourself the Rspec! Did you happen to get the undertray as well? And I remember those coilovers in the parts catalog. Seriously look brand spanking new, can't wait to hear your impressions after the rebuilt. Happy for you and in all honesty, a bit jealous

 

yeah, I couldn’t believe the shape they’re in as well. As if they test fitted the parts, ran it for maybe 200km’s, and then took them out to store them?? I know it’s tough to tell from the pics, but they’re seriously mint.

yes, as a matter of fact, I lucked out on the whole Rspec front end. The undertray was also part of the deal. Truly fortunate.

with any luck, I should get them back from my paint guy this week. He sent me progress pics 2 fridays ago now. So yeah, I should be getting a call sometime this week.

 

NEO is BIG PIMPING

 

Aye yi yi. Anyone want one of these when I'm done fixing them?

 

now that you mention it, there was a post in the for sale/want section asking about this bumper. It was awhile back though.. maybe he’ll see this post.

 

The hardest part is finding the lenses

 

I got all the original parts bagged up. Just have them stripped down for fiberglass and paint work.

Actually, I'm having the original assorted brackets reproduced if anyone need some...

Some other folks are reproducing lenses. I got a set on order and will post up a review. The fog lights are also a very specific pain in the butt, if they're damaged or missing. Been trying to catalogue and restore and source all the hardware.

 

Yeah. Super cool these and GTC lenses are in production. Has been a gap for years.

 

COOKED But found out my clutch and pressure plate were mazdaspeed units from the attached catalog. #9G1B-16-490 another interesting find as I’ve been going through this car.

 

Exedy were still selling those clutches - at least a couple years ago.

 

Pressure plates can be rebuilt with new springs, generally speaking. I haven't done so on this one tho so not 100% sure

 

i have this 1 off super g rear bumper from re amemiya. It has been made custom for a car at dragon performance in the UK
It's for sale also btw

 

Only if you had a GTC bumper!
