I think I like those sideskirts. What are they ?

Which springs/shocks do you have on the car ?

They are Mazda skirts, and as far as skirts go I think they are pretty good.  Also made of proper material not frp so they flex and stuff.

Yeah, Mazda sideskirts.  I think they were an option when the car was new.

Apexi adjustable shocks, unknown springs.  Too hard on anything but the smoothest of roads, but great on a circuit, which reminds me its about time I booked another track day.

Don\'t want to change the wheels.  I like the stupidly low weight ones for that very reason (handling always comes first!)

Shocks are adjustable at the bottom.  Requires lying on the ground and reaching under, but it\'s not much bother.

Here\'s a slightly different angle:

Oh on the subject...bit of a long shot but does anyone have any of the FD sales brochures? I was looking for them online a few weeks ago but couldn\'t find anything.

Like those kind of things, would be interested in seeing how mazda marketed the beast, what the pics were like and what blurb they used!
