leave it to Ted to have the collection.

Did you ever figure out the wiring on that digital interface climate control?

Nah, I don't own ALL of those things!
I do own that digital AC logicon though.
I refuse to pay over $100 (it's going to end up closer to $150 after fees and shipping for me) for those vent visors, although I do want a set. :P

Nah, someone else had figured it out, but it's not easy.
(If you really want to find out who did, try search on the RX-7 Forum for the guy's name.)
It does not interface really nicely with any of the US-spec wiring.
It also requires a dedicated temp sensor, which none of the US-spec FC's came with.
Basically, it's a real PITA to interface.

Please don't ask me for prices.
Most of those pics are straight from YJA - Yahoo Japan Auctions.
If you are really serious about getting them, check out http://www.bidschoice.com/ (notice the "s" in there).
Joji has a nice English / Japanese interface that allows you to read through YJA okay.
My suggestion is to keyword search "fc3" in the automotive section - "fc3" catches all "fc3s" and "fc3c" (convertible) parts.

Last time I saw a digital AC logicon, it was prices easily over US$100.
Those knee pads are pretty rare, and most of time they are still attached to the doors - it's rare to get the seller to have them separated from the panels.
You do realize that those knee pads are only for the US-spec passenger side, right?
Since the J-spec drivers side is opposite...

You guys also forgot the efini fog lights. These fog lights were yellow from the factory while all the other models had clear ones. And supposedly the UK turn signals were dual bulb while the US and JDM ones were single bulb. The JDM one getting a clear orange plate behind the lense.

So whats the advantage to having one of theses if they didnt feel the need to put them on later cars, and did all cars come with that plastic undertray under the radiator section?

Depending on time, aluminum is more expensive than plastic. There's other properties, but I imagine aluminum is a little more expensive now-a-days.

Reduces the drag coefficient. Probably by only .01 or .02 though.

My 10th AE came with the Mazda factory radar detector. Unfortunately being 20+ years old, it probably wouldn't detect a whole lot.

What about the gold tinted glass sunroof, only 2000 were produced (correct me if I'm wrong), and only on California models.
