I can assure you the hoses aren't unique either... neither are the air ducts that fit in front of the oil coolers

same parts as the US/Euro RX-8 and automatic JDM RX-8

I think you are confused by the fact that your series 1 RX-8s never came with the dual oil coolers, that's why it's unique to you

one thing is for sure, Mazdaspeed isn't what it used to be... Mazda owns it and now wants to spend as little money as possible in an unprofitable niche division... the days of beautiful well engineered truely high performance parts are long over

the last of anything truely awesome from Mazdaspeed was the RX-7 "R-Spec" parts... the R-Spec oil coolers were truely unique and better.... of course all of the R-Spec parts were accessories and never came with any factory built RX-7
