I thought the tail was a Japanese part, and Mazdaspeed was an American company. :scratch:

There again, maybe I'm just a bit dim..... :laughing6:

I'll second that :evil4:

I thought Mazdaspeed were like the aftermarket tuning company for Mazda? (like John Cooper works for Mini's or TRD for Toyota's etc....) And it would explain why only the JDM F's have the Mazdaspeed kit as standard.

Mazdaspeed are like the mazda tuning company yeah....not sure if its aftermarket or within a partnership of mazda?

they are japanese though

**Posted:** Thu Dec 04, 2008 3:50 pm

It'll be an aftermarket partnership. If that makes sense? :scratch:

sti? ain't it prodrive?

not sure myself just picking your brain :lol:

thought sti was the trim level like wrx or glx or gxi or zxi :clown:

**Posted:** Fri Dec 05, 2008 12:50 am

I thought that too at first but i did check it and as far as i could see sti is the tuning company. Subaru Technik International or something

mazdaspeed is within the mazda company. it's not an aftermarket mafia for car.

I have a whale tail, it sitting in the garage gathering dust.
It was the very first thing i did to the car- remove it haha.
That was before i even rotated the tires around (some people just don't know how to save their tread)
Now i have some nasty big holes in the boot- siliconed it up, she'll be right as rain :tard:

Yeah sure, no point in me hanging on to it, but i'm in New Zealand, so shipping is gonna cost u an arm and a leg.
I'll take some pics of it this arvo after work but till then u can see a picture of it on a car in my gallery.

**Posted:** Thu Dec 11, 2008 7:54 pm

This is our type r import . . . the whale tail is factory fitted I know that much and the car was imported to the UK by the previous owner I think. Rob will know more details, I'll ask him

The only whale tail you can buy that I've ever seen is the one from Jeroentje that Neil linked below but there might be others.

I remember us driving the car home after we bought it and remarking on how that "thing" on the back just had to go . . . by the next day we loved it . . . they kinda grow on you! lol
