Super Rare Old Skool Parts

You know, looking at those tails, I wonder if they just used the Vert tail lights and extended the license plate area? The reason I say this is that the vert tail lights and center garnish fit on the coupe....

EDIT: AND the other pic also shows the deleted 3rd brake light above the key hole... damn, that pic is just chock full of win!

my yellow tii had no thrid brake light since the owner shaved it. Looked great. Might be doing that to the vert

I would imagine the FCs in Japan DO have them. Might want to talk to someone over there about getting you some. Of course you'll also have to run some wiring to make it work, but it's worth it haha. That's one of the little things I miss from living there.

it's probably not rare but, my 87 base didn't have the bins. it had thin pieces of wood covering the holes. the carpet covered everthing.

Whizbang · 02-22-2009, 11:24 PM

yea the bins were actually optional for 86 and 87 if i recall.

I've seen a couple that had a factory radar detector option.

Yup, they do. Don't have pics to prove but I've seen them on the cars in Japan.

The aluminium undertray is also an appparent rarity, although I've seen them go on sale slow and cheap before.

What about the turbo emblem on the hood scoop of this beautiful TII? Was that a factory item or something aftermarket?

that is an emblem you can get at Pep Boys

bigpimp'n on here has the foldable mirrors on his '91 T2. I remember him saying it was a rare JDM option...

The foot bar actually makes sense though. As does the leg pads... I'm putting leg pads in my FC and would like a set for my rx8 as well...

No.
If you take closer look at the pic, there is only one clear / white reverse light.
So, technically, it's one half of the vert lights.
The other red "reverse" light is a special light for fogs, I think?

hmmm What is the foot bar for?

If only S5 mirrors were fold"able", they're a bit better looking IMHO.

Whether by pushing against or hooking your toes under it, I think it was for a passenger to maintain more stability while being rocked around.

Mine had 1 bin and 1 carpet covered area with the shitty wood cover. I switched it out for two bins...
