It has the same steering ratio as stock but has X% stiffer rubber - where X is some number that I cannot recall. It is one of those purchases that I am not sure I could fully justify, though good steering feel is nice.

I'll be installing it (and a crapload of Mazdaspeed bushings and new pillowballs) in a few months so I will let you know then. That said, I got an IM from another board member who said he tried to install his and it would not fit. I sent him some measurements of mine to see if he has the right unit. I have never heard of an aftermarket rack for the FD so I am not sure how the measurements could be different than stock. |
thats the only Mazdaspeed hood i know of. Anyone have pics of the other one there talking about?

I was planning to get the MazdaSpeed MS-01S rims next year. Would that be too long and then I can't find them?
Also, curious what the difference is between MS-01 & MS-01S . I always thought of them as MS-01S. Thanks. thewird |
thewird, don't worry about the wheels; I can readily find 'em used.
As for the diff wheels, here ya go: http://wheelspecs.com/WheelSearch.aspx?q=mazdaspeed |

Some are available new now (a few).
Look closer. They're different. Spokes are different, lip is different, texture is different, color is different. Do you think the bronze would look nice on a blue? Haven't been able to find one except for this white one. http://automobile.2405.com/automobil...Mazda_2405.jpg thewird |

Would those new ones that are available now not be available say December-April?

Absolutely. But I'm sorry to tell you, I really don't think it was taken from under us. I fronted a LOT of cash for it, I'm sure no one else was willing to pay that much for it. If you ask me, I think the shop was LAZY, and ASSUMED they could get it despite me telling them MULTIPLE times that it was discontinued. But I HAD to try anyway, just in case they were right, right? ;)
|
Can you still get the mazdaspeed cf front lip for the 99 bumper?
|
You don't need to post AND txt msg me Gene! lol
|
FDNewbie, I sent you an e-mail about the Mazdaspeed rims. Look forward to hearing back from you.

Hey Ramy, I still didn't get a reply about the Mazdaspeed wheels. I guess I just want to confirm you got the e-mail and will get to it eventually.

so ramy, i will be hitting you up very soon on a PPF, the steering shaft and white faced meter set... when is the last possible time frame i can jump in on this? reason being, i am still awaiting my rebuild from ihor/ rich and also moving into an apartment soon as well.
|
Davin, the meter isn't a problem; I have one in stock. The PPF I wouldn't worry about either, as even if I can't get one from Mazdaspeed, I can get one from RE Amemiya. The steering shaft is the only item I'm unsure of...
~Ramy |
Just thought I'd let you guys know...as of right now (essentially the new year), Mazdaspeed has removed the FD from their parts catalog COMPLETELY. ALL FD-SPECIFIC MAZDASPEED PARTS ARE OFFICIALLY DISCONTINUED. So guys, I'll say this ONCE, and ONLY once. Buy all the Mazdaspeed parts you've ever wanted RIGHT NOW, because they will NOT be "later" on these parts. Whatever's left in stock is in very low quantity, and indeed, the vast majority of parts are ALREADY longer available...
I will re-extend my offer to run a large GB on whatever Mazdaspeed parts you guys may like, but if this does happen, it will have to happen VERY quickly (within days). ~Ramy |
Is there a parts catalogue? I didn't read through the whole thread. Who knows Ramy, there's probably something Mazdaspeed I want :D
|
Well now there isn't :( Earlier in the thread, however, I posted up about what parts were still available. That's something to go off of, as it wasn't too old of a post.
~Ramy PS: Riz, c'mon man. How lazy can you get? It's a TWO-PAGE thread! :p: |
...would it be possible to make a list with a discontinued parts and there price, if not here than on your website, Ramy...?
...would make decisions of buying a part much easier, if a picture and the price is listed next to them... :) |
Earliest I could come even CLOSE to doing that would be the 2nd of Jan. And assume everything's expensive; it's Mazdaspeed. I'd only have regular prices available, and based on the size of the order, and that I'll be cleaning 'em out, I'm sure I can negotiate a good discount. So it'll be hard to say what kinda discount I can get up front, esp. when dealing w/ Mazdaspeed. They're stingy lol. So the discount would simply get kicked back to you guys (be it in shipping or discount on the cost, etc).
