Very nice Spirit R. Any pics of the RE Amemiya engine damper? Is it discontinued now? I don't see it on their website....

I love everything you've done to it and your philosophy about modification.

Thanx guys!

For the encouraging comments. She is the dream FD I always lusted after, aquisition was only possible through grey imports being allowed into Australia. As she gets older though it's an on going battle to keep her "fresh" looking, as such I have a couple sets of scuffs plates (OEM and CF), seat edge protectors since these Recaro's are renown for wearing through (replacements seat covers are over $1K, if you can find them!).Unfortunately OEM Spirit R mats are virtually impossible to source, so I have located a manufacturer here that makes excellent copies.Currently the car has only 67K's on her, I only do about 7K's a year since ownership, If any of you need series 8 FD parts, including Spirit R or RZ parts, contact me I have a good source of parts here,

cheers!

I have great memories of Walnut Creek, my first girlfriend lived there. We used to drink regularly at Crogans and Margaritaville, they were good times..
