new rx-7 owner - question about parts
Hello everyone.
I just picked up a completely stock 93 RX-7 with only 48k miles on it. Extremely happy with it so far, but obviously there are a few issues, else why would I be here?
Anyway, I'm just looking for a good resource to find small interior trim pieces. I know most of everything is discontinued by Mazda, and I didn't see a place on this forum to post WTB threads. I've tried Mazdatrix, and a handful of other mazda dealership online parts stores. But I'm not finding what I'm looking for.
Specifically, the LHD drivers side door pieces. More specifically, the lid to the storage compartment. The first thing that happened when I got the car home, my GF tried to clean it, and it turned it white wherever she rubbed. /sigh.
Anyway. Sorry if this is the wrong place, or a stupid question. I know finding parts for these is going to be a challenge.

try parts.com I have found some bits and pieces there. There are some small companies that make the storage compartment lids now. www.draklore.com and www.bubbletech.com

Haha, that's usually the case. In regards to the parts wanted section, I think I don't have access to it. I saw something where I needed 5 posts and 5 replies before I was allowed to post in classifieds. All I see is the vendor section currently.

Here's what's still available new from a typical online retailer (not plugging them, just sharing information that I've collected). Every one of these parts below that has a price is still available as of a couple of weeks ago. Some like the ash tray weren't available last year.If you're really in love with the car, you may want to pick up a set of new interior trim panels like the cluster cover (hood meter), shifter panel, and stereo panel. if yours are scuffed or just to have before they stop making them. If they ever stop making them, you can sell them for more in 5 years, plus you have the backup set.

For getting a new map pocket lid I would recommend the Bubbletech lid hands down. Benny handed me one at DGRR when he first started making them and dared me to break it - it is VERY strong and damn near unbreakable. It also fits perfectly and looks perfect.
That's definitely the way to go.

Do you or anyone else know if the r1 front lip/spoiler fits the 99spec bumper?

The 99 spec bumper has its own lip spoiler, it's similar to the old R1 spoiler. The 93-95 lip spoiler won't fit right.

If it turned white it may have been repainted in the past and that's primer or something. The plastic is black all the way through, there's no white to reveal by rubbing.

I have had good experiences with Amayama.com from Japan. Enter the part number, if it says available, they can usually get it for you. I have had good luck getting a couple USDM FD parts from them even when a lot of places say they are not available. They were even able to get BRAND NEW FD control arms and many mazdaspeed suspension bushings for me! Imagine that.
Agreed. You have come thru for me almost every time!

Problem with a lot of the online parts sites for different Mazda dealers is that you never know if they actually have the part listed in stock or not (or if its NLA). At least that was my experience. I called around to a lot of the different dealers regarding a complete passenger side interior door handle (grip and all) since mine was trashed. NOBODY could get them. Even Atkins didn't carry them. Ray came through though and was able to get me a brand new part straight from Japan. I've found Ray to be cheaper than Atkins, but Atkins usually has the parts in stock and their online site is great. I've ordered from both Ray and Atkins before and it usually just depends on whether or not I can wait for a particular part or not. Both are great.

Ray always has fair prices - maybe not the cheapest, but you're not getting taken to the cleaners. Big thing is he can many times find parts that others can't and can give you a solid answer as to availability.
Atkins does have a great website and fair prices, I've ordered plenty from them.
