Hi there !!
I'm new there so i hope that my latest upgrades will please you ;)

Just bought some little things from japan auction for my little Bluestar

Nardi dark wood steering wheel


AWD vintage cover panel


Mazdaspeed 3point upper front strut brace and mazdaspeed rear upper brace (never seen the rear anywhere, seems like ultra rare item ??)


Just can't wait to put this AWD cover panel on my Bluestar gauges
Needle caps and gauge ring needed now to complete the set !

So you were the one who beat me to these braces right under my nose! They are not massively rare, but they are really nice! Produced by Carbing I believe, you can find that exact brace sold as Carbing, Mazdaspeed, AutoExe, and I am sure I am forgetting something.

Oh, and welcome! Do you have a build thread?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it!

hahaha , yes... guilty !! the last auction for the MS front strut brace 3point went so high a few days ago that i got frustrated, when i saw these 2 at such a low price with a "direct buy" option... who'd have resist ?

I knew that the 3point was originally produced by carbing and then stamped mazdaspeed, i was also aware for the autoexe one but only for the front... i saw many rear carbing but none stamped mazdaspeed... that's why i told myself that they are pretty rare.

Oh, you... I am pretty sure we have the same watch list, cause I have been thinking the same, you were faster though! Will be waiting for the next one to come up!

I'm jealous of your AWD PANEL!!!!!

My new toy arrived today as well!!!!


I have to source some stainless hardware and refinish it, but I'm super happy it's in my possession!

This thread keeps getting better and better!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, this keeps getting better and better. Have to get a screenshot of my watch list really!!!

That one was for sale for a long time; the rings alone would cover the asking price easy.

So you had it on your watchlist ?? Hahaha... I really think that it could be Kg works gauge rings... Don't you think ? @4000¥... It could be a good theft

What an amazing difference a few changes can make! Looking good Chad! Offtopic, but you guys are lucky not having to have a front plate; car looks a million times cleaner without one.

Thanks, Harry! It is indeed. Actually Texas requires a front license plate, I'm just a rebel like that. I didn't have one on Warbird for over three years and never got pulled over for it. Although I try to be a good driver...most the time.

I think a change in altitude is in order, Chad.

Absolutely, Anthony! Planning on coilovers before the end of the year hopefully...
