hm.. i think it has Bilstein and bigger disc too.. in fact this is the one with most fruits.... lucky bastard !
What i also want to know is rather these series 8 FDs offer more leg room ... I would've bought a FD.. if there are more leg room.. as my knee hit the tiller (i am 6 foot 1) .. when i tried a series 6... not possible to drive it comfortably track it. i am hoping the later series offer more room..
After your PM to me Steve I notice u are ... very close to me i think.. may I book a passenger joy ride when it lands please !
*I also notice something... the rotary oil bottle has "Castrol" on it.. did Castrol made OEM rotary oil.... ? I just went outside to my garage to see.. but my doesnt say Castrol.. its just a slot like yours.. but with no brand.. mm... " *

I'm an inch shorter than you, but I normally drive a 1984 RX-7 (which is also tiny), so that inch is about 100mm when I get in

Castrol Australia make Mazda Rotary Oil. That pic is of one of the first bottles sold here, back when Mazda imported the oil in bulk and Castrol Australia repackaged it.

First Steve.. nice + congrats.. last legendary purpose built FD.. I was reading ur post how u mentioned u dont like those painted calipers and special badges.. i was expecting u to say u bought an ordinary series 8.. but then u rolled out "RZ" I was like.. right -..-" special edition.. in white.. with those red carbon kevlar recaros.. and those BBS.. and that red RZ writing next to door handle.. i think that would catch some attention !

The Spirit R Type "A" doesn't have:

The Spirit R was available in Brilliant Black, Pure White, Vintage Red, Titanium Grey, and Innocent Blue Mica. The RZ was available in only one colour, Snow White Pearl.
The Spirit R was built in 2002, the RZ was built in 2000, 2001.
