i didnt get a chance to take in on monday, but saturday for sure its gonna be sent to the crusher!

ive got some random stuff, there might be more than listed. just ask if you have any questions.


subframes, ppf, all the glass, brake booster. both doors PERFECTLY straight (red), both windows, drivers side power regulator, pass. side manual regulator. i also have a full stock exhaust with good heat shields and cat. i have the front brakes, good stock struts and springs with 50k on them. oh, and a power steering rack.


MAKE ANY OFFERS!!!! LOWBALLERS WELCOME!!!! i really just need any sort of cash i can get right now, and for the right price im willing to meet wherever.

ill let the whole thing go for 175 cash picked up, more for delivered. its wrecked in the front with the frame bent, but it could easily be re-clipped. the shock towers are straight and the wheelbase and track was measured the day after it happened and everything was still straight.

ill take 250 as it sits. it was wrecked, but CAN be repaired. the front part of the frame is bent, but the shock towers are straight so you could cut the front off a donor car and weld it on. thats how my 2nd miata was done.

oh man for 250 i almost want the whole thing. tube frame front end! does it have a clean title?

btw, i'm looking for a glove box lid, unfortunately the 90-93 ones don't fit 94-97 cars.

Hows the paint on the Car? I might be interested in the trunk lid

N3v
01-19-2009, 08:51 PM
sorry, I can't take the car, and i've had no luck with friends who are looking for something like that right now.

I assume the hood is fubar, but what about the panels that cover the headlights?

jesseealexander
01-19-2009, 09:25 PM
i have the drivers side headlight cover, but the pass. one was also fubar.

the paint is pretty faded but its not horrible when waxed. i sold the trunk lid a while back though.

N3v
01-19-2009, 09:29 PM
k awesome, can I grab that headlight cover from you? Are you coming to the tech day?

jesseealexander
01-19-2009, 09:36 PM
i doubt it, since any work on my car would most likely take up the whole tech day lol and its a little far to drive. im sure we can work something out though. 15 bucks sound good?

yeah, andrew beat you to em.

Andrew, Ben - what are you guys doing with them? bushing swap? Because if you're just using them to keep the car on the road, then we all might be able to move them around to the next guy and get some cost back. Just a thought. - rob

Replacing more than a couple bent ones on my car. The rest will be spares for the race car. The ball joints are all still good, so I'll likely re-greast / re-boot those as well as spares. If someone needs one I can see if I can spare them. I didn't pick them up just to pick them up lol

Ok - just checking. I was actually going to do a bushing swap and then keep them as spares for a race car.

You need the gauge and sender to do the swap.

For just the little gauge inside the cluster? I'll pass on that for $30. You don't need to go the effort of getting it from the scrap yard. I was thinking you had a bunch of parts laying around from the chassis you were just going to chuck out otherwise.

jesseealexander
01-28-2009, 04:43 PM
^^ no i was thinking of the whole guage cluster. i still have a few random parts in my shop that i havent taken. can you do 15 for the gauge?

Ah bugger. Tommy's given me his in return for a favor. I'm sure someone else will buy it for that price though!

As an FYI only...some people might not realize that a real oil pressure gauge/sender swap
is $300 from Mazda, so $30 for the oil gauge isnt abnormal at all. Of course often you can find a whole cluster for that...but thats usually why those clusters are bought, just for the oil gauge. Used swaps have gone for $75-100 as long as I have had Miatas.
Again...this is an FYI only...not a comment directed at your majesty king of mx5atl. :lol:
