That is a Mazda RX7 Spirit R.....this actually pic is a copy car not the real thing.
THe wheels were for the special edition only. The closest match is BBS Type RZ. You can find pics of the Spirit R edition on rx7club.com or just google it for more pics.

Is this why the the center cap is the Mazda Emblem?

Glad I could help. Converting your FD to 99 spec or Spirit R copy was the "in" thing to do awhile back. When people started realizing the cost of doing it, many gave up. If I remeber correctly, some were paying as much as 4500 for the actual Mazda Spirit R wheels. Of course the carbon kevlar backed recaros found in the Spirit R go for 5000 to 6500 each....yes I said each. You can't hide money.

Here are the M-Sports. I remember this car from last year's NW Rotor Ralley.

I have asked this before in another thread, but I did not get any responses, so I'll ask again here in the is thread.

I was thinking of a body kit one day, but now I might just look into getting a lower lip spoiler made similar to the ones on the '93 RX7. My thought is what can't we make a lower black plastic lip spoiler to replace the entire black underpan?



The lower lip pictured here, could be a great idea for the RX8 also.

I think the wheels are BBS manufactured. They came stock on the Mazda RX-7 Spirit R.

there actually is a "lip spoiler" made for the RX-8 that is very similar to the ones the RX-7 had. It is a bit more agressive looking so I dunno if it's exactly what you were looking for but I think this is as close as we're going to get. I personally think it's pretty sexy!
