When does Mazda quit supplying new parts? I know the floor mats and some interior panels are all sold out.

Judging by the rapidly escalating price of wiring harnesses, I think they will be one of the first and most critical parts that you won't be able to get when Mazda quits supporting us.

I don't know for sure, all I know is what I read from Rich in the old Malloy Mazda thread in the FS section last year.

agreed, i've got a lot of greddy stuff going on my car but obviously that's not the only company. I'm very brand loyal myself, but i'm not going to use something if there is a better part out there, it just doesn't make sense. The only time I could see having a car with brand specific parts is if you were sponsored by that company or something :P.

I've had a profec B on my FD since 2001, it's performed flawlessly with stock twins, old style BNRs, new style BNR3s, and now a big *** single turbo

Lol so it looks like im dumping the idea of keeping true with one brand, I guess no one company can be the BEST at everything, so ill start with the gauges :P In NZ so far i've seen lots of autometer and greddy, HKS and others seem to be lurking in the shadows. Maybe i just need to look harder. What say you folks? Boost Gauge, seeing as i'm going to keep it a permanent thing should i fork over the extra cash for a electrical one or is mechanical good enough as is. And what brand! :P lol

Oh and dont worry, ill get the pictures up as soon as i can

If you want to get top of the line gauges, look into Defi.

i have a terribly strong loyalty to FEED when it comes to any parts that they can provide. mostly just aero parts, but for mechanical or electronic i pick out the ones that are best suited to me. my take on it is that you should stick to a "style" for aero, mix-matching if necessary but for anything else, get what the general consensus has considered "effective" for the buck.
