Latest round of mods complete : big thanks to RE:Worx and Newera Parts.

GAZ666 : I am pretty sure it is GruppeM, Knight Sports do a similar version too (http://www2.ocn.ne.jp/%7Eknight78/FD3S.htm). Mine came on the car when it was imported  Finding info on the GruppeM RX-7 intake has always been hard, but http://www.neweraparts.com" target="_newera">Newera Parts will be able to sort you out.

Ben : brakes next, then under the bonnet :o

Russ : dropping it has helped the looks no end.  The only slight bother with the CAT is that the lambda sensor for tuning needs to go before the CAT, can\'t just stick it in the muffler anymore.  The rear diffuser has been mentioned before - it\'s definetly on my list to investigate but I quite like the high look of the rear so I\'ll have to be convinced.

What cat where you using in that 20b Russ, I need to quieten mine done a touch for trackdays.

Chris, there are a few different types of diffuser you can use on the FD but like Russ says they really do look the part (very F1 inspired) and finish off the rear nicely. I think a carbon one would look the part and continue the carbon theme from the side skirts round to the back.

[rextreme]

Everything was custom on my friends 20b fd, The exhaust was fabricated by a small Aussie workshop "Jakes Performance" for best flow but contained a Superflow cat centre from memory. when you have over 500hp the small changes dont really make much difference. That car was a weapon.

The silenced mid-pipe and back-box was all one piece and went to John Yorke and his yellow banana, which is now owned by Royal.  It was a nice bit of kit!

Russ : have sent you an email.

Nice looking car. I don\'t want to flame anyone, but it seems to me that UK parts are so much more expensive then purchased from the US.

hi mate nice looking car how much was the feed kit please

I would guess that shipping original parts from Japan to the US is cheaper than Japan to the UK which might play a part in prices.  So whilst the retail value appears cheaper in the US, you have to add shipping and import duty etc.
Although I\'m sure there are bargains to be had.

If you buy it I will have to kill you :Tongue1

Check ouy //www.reworx.com they are the official FEED distributers in the UK and where I got my kit from.

They have prices for the front and rear arches and carbon skirts, totalling £2260 inc VAT.  They don\'t have a price for the FEED front bumper - I\'ve heard it is not cheap, expect around £1k.  The bonnet is RE-Amemiya and £887 inc VAT.  The rear wing is Mazdaspeed and expect the price to be close to £1k. Then you have to get it fitted and painted ~£1500.  Once that is done you realise your wheels look rubbish with the wide arches so you have to shell out for wheel spacers or get new wheels (£2k + £600 for tyres) with custom offsets as well as adjustable suspension £1k...

Expect all this to take 4 months, be without your car for 6 weeks and take about £10k out of your pocket

I can\'t remember how much it was (I bought it with other stuff at the same time).  Checked FEED\'s website (http://www.fujita-eng.com) and converted to Sterling, came out at about £150.  Add in shipping, import duty, VAT etc.

Best to contact Newera for a price.
