Even the 99 underbelly needs little cutting.

It fits fine, but you should remove the little sub tray on top.

Yeah looks like if you just remove the smaller piece in the middle that its pretty much the same, I think ours will fit if we try hard enough. But I think the 99 one is only like $100-$150 and mine is not in the best shape to begin with.

PureMdMa , the other way to purchase from Mazda Motorsports is if you're still building a car, you can send them your SCCA membership number and be able to purchase parts without sending race results. You might also try these part numbers with Ray Crowe at Malloy, they might be available to any U.S. dealer:


The undertray is about $100:




This should be the complete kit:

F138-50-031A FRONT BUMPER COVER Notes: From Japanese Model 99-00 RX-7. Larger air intakes and lights than U.S. spec bumper. Requires '99 bumper reinforcement, and combination lamps.

F138-50-070B REINFORCEMENT, BUMPER Notes: '99 Japanese RX-7 front bumper reinforcement. For use with F138-50-031A front bumper cover.
F140-56-1B0A COVER, UNDER - FRONT

F138-50-A21 AIR GUIDE, FRONT BUMPER Notes: From Japanese Model 99-00 RX-7. Recommended when ordering 99-00 style front bumper assembly.


F138-51-9K1B C SKIRT (R), FRONT AIR DAM
F138-51-9L1B C SKIRT (L), FRONT AIR DAM Notes: Left half of front lower air dam/lip spoiler. Larger and more aggressive than R1 spoiler from U.S. models. This is from the '99 RX-7 but can be made to fit earlier models. This is only one half of spoiler. Use with other side.


F138-43-64XB DUCT (L) , BRAKE AIR COOLING
F138-43-63XB DUCT (R) , BRAKE AIR COOLING Notes: Left brake cooling duct required when installing '99 RX-7 front bumper to earlier years. Design eliminates oil cooler ducting.

F138-51-731 EMBLEM, WINGED M - FRONT Notes: New Winged-M logo for nose of car. From '99 RX-7


F138-51-070B LAMP (L), FRONT COMBINATION
F138-51-060B LAMP (R), FRONT COMBINATION Notes: Right front turn signal assembly. Fits openings in '99 Japanese RX-7 front bumper.


F138-51-680B LAMP (R), FRONT FOG
F138-51-690B LAMP (L), FRONT FOG Notes: Left front fog lamp from '99 RX-7. Round

unfortunately he can't get 99 spec parts.

Mazdamotorsports sells everything, but the undertray is on backorder with no ETA from Mazda.

It forces air through the radiator, so I would suggest that you put yours back on. Some people have run their engines dangerously hot because they were missing this piece.

My water temps never see over 92 C, even on 100 degree days, in that case, should I still put it on?

As long as you are watching your temps and they stay cool then I guess you should be fine. If it were me I would put it back on anyway, but its not my car.

Is there any other reason to have it on, will it make any kind of pressure spots or something?

Think of it this way: Mazda's engineers spent a lot of time making our car lightweight and aerodynamic. The front undertray weighs very little, but it's aerodynamically significant. I can't think of any reason to remove it aside from being a cheapskate.


Here are three good reasons for leaving it on:

1. Cooling function: forces air through the radiator, preventing overheating (as mentioned above).
2. Aero effects: helps create a smooth underbody, which will cause less drag as speeds increase.
3. Protection: keeps debris and water out of the engine compartment, away from the steering boots, etc...

Can you name three good reasons for leaving it off?

Just a side note about MazdaMotorsports membership, you don't have to be a racer to get in, you can do two autocross events and qualify.

You need AN undertray, but basically all this thing is is the 93-95 tray with the subtray removed where it used to meet w/ the 93 nose. It'll take you about 10 minutes to dremel it off. Make sure you leave the part with the rubber bumper that seals against the bottom of the radiator.

I put a '99 under tray and '99 lip on a 93-95 bumper, the tray is interchangeable and bolts right up, which is amazing considering the amount of drilling and cutting I had to due for the lip?? The shape out on front wings is a little different, but then that is to fit '99 brake ducts which I like better besides fitting up to lip. The inner radiator "ramp" on 93-95 undertray can be removed, it is suppose to provide a smooth transition from the nose to
the radiator. but if you open up the nose with '99 bumper or shark mod on stock nose, it gets in the way of airflow. My cost was just under $100 from Mazda Motorsports, needed to replace my original one anyway's. Do not leave the tray off. It is the single most important piece to force air through the radiator not under the car, It protects radiator, hoses, oil line and fan belts from stones and other road debris, it is a major aero feature not just drag reduction but stability.
