Thumbs up Mmmm, parts.

wackyracer made the same mistake I did the first time. In RX-7 context SA != San Antonio. The first generation RX-7's (Series 1) from 78-80 was designated SA22C, thus SA is often understood to mean a 78-80 RX-7. In 1981 they were redesignated FB but only in the North American market.

Unless your car is unsafe I'd suggest you compete in at least two sanctioned motorsports events (NHRA drag races , SCCA autocrosses, etc.) Then take those results and send them off to Mazda Motorsports. As a registered racer you can buy stock parts at a very significant discount. The last time I calculated the difference compared to prices at auto parts stores, much less the stealership, it amounted to about a 40% discount plus it was shipped right to my door. Added bonus, unless you're the accountant as well and/or you're married to one, is that the race parts are all collected in one place for you to browse and buy. Be careful, it can get expensive quickly. Guess how I know?
