LHD Spirit R test drive video
 

I hadnt saw this video before, so I figured I'd share it. Apologies if its a repost. The only thing all of us didnt know or hadnt saw before in this video was that apparently there is a LHD Spirit R out there. Someone high up at Mazda apparently had one made at the factory. Pretty cool!

Son of a bitch!

Nice find!

Wasn't made at the factory, was made in California.....out of a USDM S6.

Single oil cooler, no tinted rear glass, pre-cat, etc.

An S6 with fancy paint, Recaro's and BBS's.

lol

Hahaha.

True, but it was "build by Mazda" - so that still says something.

Wow

lmao.

BS, thats nowhere near spirit R.. all the parts are from old models

and which of all the newer 2001 or 2002 models had a sunroof?

thats definately NOT a newer style airbag
Cluster is a cheap ebay knockoff
the center console DOES NOT come with the seat heater, and the high egt button there
Air intake duct is also from old model
ABS is F100... 93-95 units
Old Y pipe from the turbos.. i.e Old turbos too ?
mazda and rx-7 emblems are in the wrong height

A replica just any other made.. Probably Andy, Supernaut made a much better job

And he mentioned in the video that
"someone high up in mazda wanted a spirit R for the Us so the company took a left hand drive model and RETROFITTED the spirit R goodies" starting at 0:57 seconds

Yea alot of interior details were missing. The interior panels are the stock color and no awesome coin holders as well. No engine bay tag.

Dang you guys are good!

Anyone can do this conversion.


Its nothing but appearance mods.

nice post

Supernaut wins this one.

This is how I heard SUpernaut say it in my mind.

just wow.

LOL, yours is still better.

Supernaut wins.......

This isn't a LHD Spirit R, it's a Silver RX7
