Mirrors are different, not sure what make though, and i think that bonnet is a Mazdaspeed one. Otherwise I think youve got \'em all :) looks like one that may have been for sale on here a while ago, single turbo job...

I think that is owned by RX7Veildside (Joel\'s old single turbo RX7)
Could not tell you the spec on the engine but the bonnet is Mazdaspped (Replica?) Mirrors are FEED, Side skirts are FEED.
This car has had a lot of work engine wise done too it also.

Yes, that is indeed \'the car formerly known as Joel\'s FD\', although new owner Paul is fevourously trying to shake that tag off!!  Certain those mirrors are Ganador.

Yep, that\'s "Paul\'s FD" ;)

Yep, they are Ganador/FEED mirrors (FEED rebrand them having finished them differently).

Yep, MS copy bonnet.

Only thing  that doesnt compute are the wheels; I dunno who\'s they are?? Joel had 17" BBS LM\'s, he bought some 18" LM\'s to replace them but they were the wrong size and went back. Never saw it with those rims - and it spent a lot of time at Geff\'s as do I...strange. I\'ve seen in post-Joel ownership and it still had the 17" gold LM\'s on it...

I\'m sure Paul will answer these questions considering it is HIS car now :)

d\'oh! picture was at trax - had it in my head it was at rotorstock for some reason - hence the new rims that paul\'s added :)

Nice. Street ported motor and GT35R turbo.

yep thats my little toy
bomex kit being fitted at present then full respray in a mica blue(dont know which one yet)
wheels are 8x18 with 235/35/18 and 9x18 265/40/18
then funds permitting either full interior retrim or a passenger side mazdaspeed seat to match drivers side
then last of all a bevy of defi guages and small ice install
hoping to tease 1 or 1.1 bar out of the engine once water injection is sorted
