I think it costs too much (shipping overseas).
Soon we'll put a sort of "udsed not used spares list and price" on our website.

Gutted 8s. Couldn't you just sell them back to Mazda? Too bad there's no ebay in Italy.

EBays in Italy exist since a lot!!!!!!!!
But.....i don't know why...everything is still here.
I think in 2005 our we'll find the way to put everything on sale.
We have tons of rims, navigs, seats, AC, doorpanels, clutches, radios, dashes...

Nice Q.:
Now the car is about 1130 Kg.
Bout we'll be ablo to save 15Kg more with the new rims (magnesium alloy), new dash (with telemetry).

The my'04 racing car has about 255hp with 98 ron fuel.
The my'05 will have about 16-18hp more at the same rev (more torque), a new rear LSD, new flywheel, new ECU mapping, new DSC mapping.
The car complies the FIA grp.N rules.

We're still working on the supercharged version.

Ciao

I think lots of us would be interested in your spares. I could do with an 18" wheel to replace the one that got scuffed going through the car wash. Very interesting and entertaining pictures to post. Thanks.

Thank hfalex! ~500 lbs of savings huh? Nice to know!

Not that it matters now, but why didn't you guys just buy base models to begin with?

You guys could benefit from a large USA group buy :D
