Just spent a good while reading through this topic, it\'s fantastic! Really looking forward to seeing this one in the metal.

Don\'t know if anyone has a copy of the 1984 sales brochure for the FB in the USA, but on the inside sleeve there is a picture of a mean-looking yellow FB that was raced in the 1983 IMSA GTU series. Reminded me of Mark\'s car!

Can only imagine what performance-related shenanigans are being planned...

The new wheels look great!, the only thing I would do is get rid of that rear spoiler I think it looks misplaced, I would go for a spoiler following the waistline of the car sort of puerta rican drag style, let me see if I can drag out some pics

[BlitzBoy]

A bit like this but not as long, bit more subtle a length

[mpk490p]

i know what you mean it is kinda marmite that spoiler, i have seen versions of the one you mean (bit like the re-am one) i do have a pic somewhere without the spoiler but i dont know where it is now!

Mark

[mpk490p]

Like this one (nice with the wide body)

A few more \'bolt on options\'

[FDDreamer]

I\'d love to find that louvered rear windscreen cover, seen it in a US brochure and think it looks superb, reminds me of the Murcielago (!).

The rear-side covers look great too. Anyone know where I could find something like that?

In terms of spoilers, I concur with the general opinion that a more \'stream-lined\' look better suits FBs. I really like the optional spoiler Mazda offered in terms of shape, too bad it was rubber though!

[Don Pamponi]

I like the larger version of the standard rubber one you can get in the US.  Wish I could buy on over here...

[smokeygsi]

I belive the window louvres are available from black dragon...

final got rid of the beehive oil cooler and fitted the oil cooler lines, sandwhich plate to run a oil sensor, drilled and tapped for a water temp sensor in the back of the greedy t piece i have in the bottom rad, tested my new gauges and there all good just need to fit them in the car.
had conformation that the 48 IDA is on the way so it going to be a busy month!!
