New to first gens, need quick info

Hey everyone... this weekend im venturing to buy a 1984 GSL-SE in Tenesee. But until that time ive been researching everything about 1st gens for the last several weeks, but ive been around a rotor head for over 6 years Its about time i get a turn in owning a rotary of my own, instead of working on his 3rd gen.

All i wanted to know, are websites that have first gen parts, like everything from suspension to engine, to exterior, to interior. I already know these

www.racingbeat.com

www.mazdatrix.com

are there any others.... and yes i will post pics of her when i get her. Thanks

The best are:

www.racingbeat.com - Exhaust Systems, Rebuild Kits, Holley/Weber Intakes, Springs, and various other great stuff

www.mazdatrix.com - Need OEM replacement something? Between Victoria British catalogue and this site, you're covered for almost ANYTHING. This place also has some aftermarket.

www.victoriabritish.com - already mentioned. Order the free catalogue NOW. It's a necessity, it's free, and it's the only way to know what parts they have that you need.

Other than these I've just ordered through the local CanadianTire.

Check the FAQ and Archive, and welcome to the club
