I called on a car once and even though it was a great deal I didn't end up going to check it out. The guy sounded kinda Turkish and as you all know I'd rather be a Paki than a Turk.

I've bought plenty of used parts. There's a big difference between sellers and it's pretty clear when you're dealing with a legitimate, knowledgeable owner or someone who just got the parts 2 days ago.



I can tell legitimate sellers from scammers as well...I just don't base who I'm going to do business with on race.

Racism won't be tolerated here. End of story.

Shit I thought we were all humans. I usually have a problem when Im filling out forms and I'm asked to pick what race I am. I find Human nowhere :confused:

I hung up on this guy the other day because he had a French accent. Turns out, it was my dad! He was pissed.

it's a 2.5" catback exhaust, a cat and 1/4th of a downpipe. no brand name anywhere. seller claimed "3 inch flyin' miata turboback". he also had a 1.8 diff in the trunk. I asked him if it was a torsen, he said it was "an LSD". Didn't know what type. But he was "swapping it into his car". he also referred to the flex pipe as "the resonator". I think the cut downpipe tells the whole story!

Right.... so, anyone recognize the exhaust?

18psi 11-02-2010 12:43 AM

how much did you pay for it? Looks decent

soviet 11-02-2010 12:48 AM

$175 for everything. looks pretty new - no rust anywhere. the cut downpipe is just... :facepalm:

18psi 11-02-2010 01:06 AM

great deal

chance91 11-02-2010 01:22 AM

Someone on miata.net is confused why their car is suddenly so loud. But at least you got a nice score.

soviet 11-02-2010 10:37 AM

Apparently the seller wasn't 100% full of shit - it's an early Flyin' Miata exhaust.
Here's how it looked new -

Positive proof when vetting a buyer or seller is always a plus...

chpmnsws6 11-02-2010 11:07 AM

They sound great with a turbo hanging off the engine

flounder 11-05-2010 07:09 PM

Maybe it was an Eskimo? Or as I like to call them, snow Mexicans.

BTW- the cat looks like the old cat off my car, so it is probably an FM cat. The PO bought everything they had to offer, minus a built engine.
