I just purchased a black 93 R1 with 54k mile on it. I would like to make this car look as close to a 96-97 type-RZ as possible. My question is where can I find JDM parts and what kind of part do I need to look like a type-RZ. I know I need round tail lights, Efini emblems, RZ stickers, RZ spoiler and side markers but what kind steering wheel do they have? Momo or the Efini one and what type of BBS wheels do they use? I don’t expect too find Recaro Seats. Thanks for your help.

efini emblems don't go on the RZ model. New mazda emblems go on that model. Efini was i think only on the 91 or 92 Japan version FD.

 

I think Corksport in Portland can get you everything you need, they have some stuff from Japan that I havent found at a lot of other places, http://www.corksport.com

 

efini emblems were on FDs from 92-96 I believe.

 

Aren't RZ's white? You're going to need a paint job.

 

They aren't white. They are Black and Metallic Silver I believe.

More like 92-98. For the '99 Series VIII RX-7's, they switched to the Mazda 'wing' logo.

 

Actually, just the 2000 RZ's are white(limited edition of 175) All previous versions that I've seen and referenced in the Japan RX-7 model year catalogs have all been black. No silvers.

 

So others know, I think you're going for the look of this model year RZ:

 

Hmm..., limited edition, prob why I never saw it. =P.

hehe, I was first introduced with the RZ at 2002. and they come in Black and Metallic Silver, or am I off with that one too?

I would look around at some of the places mentioned in this post as well as a few others and you can get just about all the parts pretty easily to make your car a 96-98 RZ. I have the spoiler, emblems, decals, pedals, steering wheel and ash tray thing. The steering wheel is a 3 spoke momo for the 96-98 model. I have a white 94 and it worked out great and easier to do than 99spec also better looking IMO.

Spirit R comes in the Gunmetal color.

 

Not going to do the brakes and suspension as well then? It also has a knee pad on the door as well as the centre console. Also got a passenger foot rest, aluminium style.
