There are actually 2 GTC bumpers currently up at the auctions. You might want to hurry. They expire this weekend.

Would a Gen 1 Panspeed Bumper count?

Im currently restoring it, but haven’t seen one like it before. @Redbul helped narrow it down. Zenki panspeed front bumper 🤷 maybe not rare back in the day, but seems to be now

Wow that's cool! I always loved the PanSpeed builds. Can't wait to see it when you're done.

On an fd3s R1, the button in the middle is for the optional microwave parking sensor package. My car doesn't have the sensors, so I think that the center console was scavenged before the car was imported into Canada.


I wonder how many of em' they sold, but it can't be many.

What method did you use to get the shocks shipped over? I've used Buyee for a few items, however they block anything hydraulic or possible oil shipping to the USA.
Thanks,

Thanks,
There are 2 problems I faced. The big one is the limit on the buyee. Depending on how much business you’ve done with them, they cap you with the amount you’re able to bid with. In which case, you have to go thru Yahoo directly. Of which I didn’t have an account.
Thankfully though, I have a friend here who deals with importing and exporting goods from Japan on a regular basis. He’s actually here on the forum as well. But thankfully he’s local to me so I asked him to please make sure I’m able to obtain this.
It was a rather intense moment because he literally got away it with seconds left. I think if the other guy was 1 or 2 seconds faster, I would’ve lost it. Thankfully, things worked out.

If I know it’s a big ticket item, I make sure I go thru him since he can guarantee the win and the shipping without any issues. The only downside is these type of things now have gone thru the roof in value. Tough to find and you have to be willing to pay big money for them.

The other day I saw the exact same Mazdaspeed hood I recently got go for over 6.5g’s Cdn. Before shipping or duties. Ouch!

The funny thing is it started within reason. I think it started at $450. And it went up to about $800cdn before the final 2hrs.
When I last checked on it, if finished with something like 63 bids and a price of about 6423cdn or something close to that. I was stunned.

Thanks for the information. So far I haven't been limited by Buyee yet, but I've purchased way too much stuff through them over the last year so maybe I'm not capped anymore. I might have to go through my brother-in-law in the future if there's something I really want. He's over in Japan as is all my wife's family, but was just hoping there was an easier way for shocks, engine parts etc. that Buyee always blocks.

If the Mrs would let me that'd be my idea of proper wall art. Ti pipes and clusters haha.

Nice! I just need the Do Engineering variant to have the full set .

​​​​​​Was kind of surprised to see the flange insert for these is stainless steel. The sonic ti-r was missing its one and is being paired to a titanium tomei midpipe so I'll replicate the flange insert in titanium 80mm for that one.

I like the DO, but I'm patiently waiting for a couple other less known Ti exhaust to pop up

Oh boy, how far along is your cluster collection? I think I'm down to 2 maybe 1 left, and I'll have all the OEM cluster.

^ Those Ti exhausts (the one on the left and the Ganador on the right) look exactly the same as my DO Eng cat-back.

They were manufactured by the same company just with different tips/branding, I believe. They're a period piece, made in the 2000s or prior. They're louder and lighter than the current FEED Ti cat-back available.

Perfect sound IMO and weighs like 7 lbs.

Haha, I was just kidding, the tip on the DO eng variant is a bit too large for my liking, I'll run the FEED on my car. I'm similar, love the more exotic clusters, thinking of making a display with all the tachs for my office.

I believe they were all made by Do and oddly the Do jasma code is the same as the Ganandor when the Feed uses Feed's code. The DO is a 100mm tip and the feed is a 94mm. I'm not sure about the others but the FEED was only available from 04 to 05 before FEED started work on the new design, but they didn't finish that until 2011.

I haven't actually heard one, cant wait to get this one mounted and my car back together to test it out .

Haha, hey there's nothing to collect more titanium exhaust Correct, all these exhausts are made by DO. Ganador has a couple different size tip over the year, mine is the earlier one with a bigger tip, I think about 4.5".

I'm ok with the aftermarket cluster, I'm mainly collecting all cluster available from Mazda. Would love to see your display idea, as I need to find a way to display these clusters

They don't actually go for that much. That's just someone hoping to get lucky. If it really sells for that much then I'll be posting one up too haha.

Seriously, I would post mine up as well if it went for that much, we should just post it up for $4k on here, if we both do it, then it'll be legit. You in? :P
