not mine, not affiliated, wondering how "totaled" it is...

My miata has been "totaled" in the front end. It has newer brakes. A new soft vinyl top. Tein full adjustable suspension. Racing Beat cat-back exhaust. Flyin miata catalytic converter. The engine has around 127,000 on it and was running very strong. The car will still start it just needs a new radiator and the front end needs body work. Would make for a good project over the winter for auto-cross/spec or just to pick parts from. Need to Sell BY THURSDAY.

Looks like a great car to part out. Easy to make money on that.

Seriously, you could make back the purchase price just by selling the aftermarket parts he has listed. If I had the $500 and a way to get it home I would be all over it.

If we can find out which Tein coilovers they are, i'd be interested in those. I think.

Coilovers are swappable between NA and NB, right? Or am i in for a hell of "Well, you've gotta get THESE tophats for the front, and THESE tophats for the rear, with a 3.14567345345cm spacer."

You should be able to swap them right on, if not you could just use your NB tophats.

Kevin:

Does it have leather or cloth interior? What color is it?

I would be interested in the passenger seat if it is black cloth, maybe some other parts as well. Or I would buy the whole thing if you would deliver it to me .

If you do buy it and sell the suspension, I have some stock suspension you can throw on to keep it a roller.

I'd like to have that exhaust for mine.
Jan. 25, 2012 9:07 a.m. EvanB SuperDork

I'm also interested in the brakes, mine are completely shot and it would be nice to save some money until I have more to spend.
Jan. 25, 2012 9:07 a.m. 92CelicaHalfTrac SuperDork

Ok then, consider me formally interested in suspension, pending model and condition.
Jan. 25, 2012 9:10 a.m. Klayfish HalfDork

Possibly the differential/rear end.
Jan. 25, 2012 9:13 a.m. EvanB SuperDork

Oh yea, I forgot that. If it has a Torsen I need it badly.
Jan. 25, 2012 9:23 a.m. CarKid1989 Dork

i cant get there till friday so ill see what he says.
Jan. 25, 2012 1:12 p.m. racerfink Dork

I'd be interested in the trans and Torsen.
Jan. 25, 2012 11:22 p.m. dmidknight Reader

I'd be interested in the soft top
