There's nothing to say that others have not already said.....
Outstanding machine and work of art.
Question: What is that device to the left of your dead pedal in the last pic?

Thanks again for the compliments. Rotorhead93 was right about the center speaker pod being from fly RX-7. The gauges are Defi-link and the controller is the unit on the left side kick panel on the driver's side. The metal gas pedal is not the OEM metal one (anyone know if that is still available?).
I bought the seats from an individual in Japan (they were taken out of a 5000km Spirit-R), and in addition to the high price for them even in Japan, shipping really set me back a lot. I believe that he still has one black and one red set, and if anyone is interested in them feel free to PM me and I will pass on his contact info. The wheels are the stock Spiri-R BBS RG-Rs and are a little on the small side (same size as the 99 spec wheels 17x8 and 17x8.5) but still suit the car ok with the lowered stance.

which short throw shifter is that it seems to sit very low even with the stock tall ****.

The shifter is the unit that Pettit sells. I'll try to get some more complete pics soon, as I've hardly been able to take the car out during the last 6 months (it's seen like 150 miles in the last 6 months)

I'm in 3 feet of snow right now in Boston, and you're pretty, and very clean car is annoying me greatly.
Thank you.
BTW. I like you steering wheel.

Ill get some pics of the whole car in the next two weeks. Currently, the car has no spoiler, it just has the OEM 96+spec tails, and since the car is original paint I've been torn to avoid drilling any holes in the hatch. Same goes for the sidemarkers (I could never drill through those fenders). My philosophy with the car was to only do things to it that were 100% reversible.

Very nicely done, Aristotle. I see you've moved down to Temecula. I also see what you mean by your self-description of being "a bit ****" about your car. The thing looks clean enough to eat off of (not that you'd want to, of course ) Great job!
I guess it's a bit too early to get your impressions of the V-mount as far as performance?

Very nice Aristo!! i posted some pics of mine but had a crappy camera...
you were saying that the engine bay has different paint than the outside.. it does. i had a 1995 also and the paint is a few shades lighter (or, it looks more pale).... i dont know what they did but know for a fact that its different...
also, since Mike Seems to come by your house a lot, i was wondering if the next time he comes, may i also come and see how you connected the fender liners to the bumper?? my old bumper ones fall a few inches short...
NICE CAR THOUGH!! Gotta loce the 99 spec! i do everytime i go in the garage too!!
