Welcome to the community! Sweet car you have there. Too bad it had to RAIN the day you got it! PLEASE BE CAREFUL with it and take time to familiarize yourself with its performance. You are going to love this car!

Are you keeping the Acura too?

Nice looking car!

From this pic it looks like you are missing the plastic undertray:


Might want to pick one up because it helps with cooling.

I believe he's from the TII crowd, so he should have a good idea of the FD's performance. (If you're not Todd's friend with the TII, my bad.)

To re-state what others have said, your car is missing the factory undertray. The undertray forces air through the radiator, so you're running the risk of overheating by running the car without it.

You want to contact Malloy Mazda , Ray Crowe is the parts manager, gives great prices to RX-7 owners, quick shipping:
(888) 533-3400 , (703) 490-8170 , fax: (703) 490-3864 , hmkparts@aol.com
