Wow, whats your problem!!

Nikos is from Greece, there is no Spirit R there. If he wants to purchase the parts to make his car the way he wants, why do you need to trash him?

Honestly, that was out of line, why don't you take it easy.

Sheesh.

What the hell do you drive again?

Car: 1991 BLK FC

oops, nevermind.

OP: You need

-Spirit R Cluster.
-Spirit R Shift knob (black leather w/ red stitch)
-Spirit R black / red stitch handbrake and shift/handbrake boots.
-Spirit R NARDI red and black steering wheel.
-Spirit R Red Carbon Kevlar Recaro Seats OR Spirit R Red Leather Seats w/ Matching Red Carpet.
-Series 8 Driver Elbow Rest/Pad on the center console.
-Series 8 Aluminum Passenger Foot Rest Plate.
-If you have a 95+ and have rear seats, make sure you get some bins.
-Series 8 Front bumper
-Series 8 Rear wing
-Series 8 Front lip
-Series 8 OEM Sideskirts (only seen these on some Spirit Rs)
-Spirit R side emblems. (watch for fakes)
-Spirit R Special BBS Wheels.
-Spirit R Red Mazda Brake calipers with drilled rotors (i would just upgrade).

This is pretty much all the appearance stuff. I am sure suspension and other mechanicals you can upgrade.

I hope this helps.

don't forget the red miata dd.

I think it would be kind of cool. It's like paying homage to your hero.

can you suppliment using the rx8 stuff? i think that all came with red stiching. uggg, i am such a noob

if the guy wants to spirit r his car let him, you ain't gonna drive it.. why be negative....

thank you all guys for your valuable opinions,unfortunately there are no spirit r in greece,there are only in cyprus,but these are rhd and the customs don't allow us to join them.as i see at the list (thank you Davin)there aren't so many parts i don't have.these are:


-Spirit R Cluster.
-Series 8 Driver Elbow Rest/Pad on the center console

any help for these?

and i had just order:

-Spirit R Special BBS Wheels.

i know that my fd will never be a real spirit r but it will be look a lot like one...
thanks again all of you guys...

I'm on my way, kinda :D

Not going with the wheels, although I love them they're not wide enough for my power level.....

your threat is very helpfull for me,thanks!:)

I don't think the Rx8 stuff works.

A lot of discontinued stuff exists out there in the form of replicas. Usually the elbow pads pop up used for sale. I know RHDJapan carries some OEM parts as well.

fdnewbieimports sells the spirit r cluster
and rx7.com sells the center arm pad

where can i get a spirit r wing?

Isn't the door and dash plastics a light grey color also. I might be crazy but I think they are.

Be aware, there are two Spirit R gauge clusters. The automatic has a tach that looks like the original FD tach, plain jane. The Type A (and possibly the Type B?) has a six o'clock tach. A small style change that completely changes the entire look of the gauge cluster. Very very sexy.
The Spirit R has a red stitched Nardi steering wheel with the Mazda Flying M logo in chrome on the airbag, not a momo with a sticker. Just food for thought, if you're going for authenticity.
It's called a 99spec or Series 8 wing. You can get it anywhere. It's probably the most common wing other than the R1 wing.
They are a gray color, soft of the color of soot. If you look at Goodfella's link, his e-brake boot is an authentic Spirit R boot. The plastics are the same color.
