If it wreaks of cheese it may be French... or English.

Gauge hoods in LE's and tan leather interior Miatas are painted from the factory. Others are molded in black plastic. Thanks for playing Miata Fun Facts. lol...

Engine is tentatively sold. I'm actively stripping this car. Please email any requests!

Joey

Interior is all gone except the radio surround, seats, and boot cover. Engine is gone. Trans and diff are still there.

Make offers!

In reply to joey48442: Do you have the red top boot for sale?

In reply to joey48442: what condition is the top boot and do you have pictures?

Im sorry, the boot is already sold.

Thanks Joey

In reply to joey48442: This is an old post but is the top boot still available?

Umm, as I said, boot has been sold.

Joey

If you're going to scrap it eventually I'd be interested in the A-arms front and back.

I want to clean them up, repaint them and press in new bushings so I can do a simple swap rather than pulling mine out and doing all that stuff with the required downtime.

I have the lower fronts...May have lower rears if I can get the bolt that holds the upright out...

Joey

Do you still have the third brake light assembly? I need the whole plastic thing that the light sits in.

Joey, can I buy the boot?

Do you have a trunk lid?

How much to ship it to Texas?

What kind of shape is the top boot? Available?

Uh, strangely, the boot is sold! No one seems interested, it's weird.

The trunk may be to expensive to ship to Texas. Maybe a local one would be better? I do have a decent red one for 75.

I have the third brake light. 10 plus shipping?

Joey

I might need the steering shaft, u-joint between it and the rack, and the bolts there, or maybe just a bit of advice.

When I swapped in the depowered rack last year, the top of the splined shaft in the engine compartment pulled out of the female end up where it comes through the firewall rather than the bottom end pulling out of the u-joint. Every thousand miles or so it works its way back out about 1/4 inch and starts to introduce some lateral play at the union. I have to pull the pinch bolt out, put some vice grips on the shaft and whack it until it goes back where it's supposed to be.

Is there a trick to keeping the damn thing from sliding downward? Am I maybe using the wrong bolt at the bottom? Is it possible that u-joint section is installed upside down? That the u-joint is damaged? That the female splined section poking through the firewall is damaged?

Works for me if it's worth shipping for you.

Sure, say 20 plus shipping for the fronts? They are crusty, but seem to be straight.

Joey

Fine with me. Email me and we'll work out the nitty gritty.
