If the chassis is sound, you can sell the tub to a spec guy for $100. No Miata needs to die in the propagation of this project. :party:

Few questions on prices for my current car

How much for my engine with all accessories? 96 1.8L Motor has forged rods, new oil pump, water pump, gates blue T-belt, new valve seals w/ valve job, everything was worked over pretty good. Maybe 5k miles, just did a compression test and pumping 170+psi in all 4 cylinders

NA 5 speed transmission. checked and rebuilt what was needed, 5th gear syncro, other odd end bearings and clips. no grinds and shifts smooth.

Those are my 2 main questions, everything else I can come up with prices I just need to know drivetrain wise

I like the 2000SE with the NB2 bumper and headlights. Definitely go that route.

FowlerMotorsports 02-13-2013 09:42 PM

Car sold for a ridiculous price, far more than what I would have paid.

I am parting my car and waiting for a good deal on a NB!

Bummer man!

You must do something to improve the situation of the second line of your signature.

Read: get your booztz back.

Yeah, might have to lend Justin my car a couple of times a week so he can get a fix. Sad to be down to an old truck. But, at least his truck can bring me my (new to me) Torsen!

Having no boost drives me insane, literally I have the worst road rage now. Before I would zip on by traffic, now I bog and put put around town. Having that boost spoiled me, I need a new car, like NOW! I will be looking for a NB this weekend, hell, I could buy a MSM but I just built a forged 99 engine and don't want to mess with VVT :vash:

Rick, I may take you up on that offer. I apologize for the delays in delivering your torsen, but I have a good excuse!!! For once :jerkit:

Sad news is the car is gone to its new owner. I am sad to see it go... lets be honest, no im not. I still have a lot of parts left for it, maybe I can get that guy to buy them for a good deal? We'll see.

I had fun with this car but it's time for a nicer car that I can take pride in. So I am on the hunt this weekend for my next daily.

Here are the remains of what use to be my car. I got a pretty good deal on the car so I let it and all the suspension stuff go for a decent price, and whatever else I could throw in to get out of my hair. I solute you lil miata, we had some good times :makeout:

Makes me sad.

I see that your custom roll bar/door bars went with it. Were they welded in?

FowlerMotorsports 02-18-2013 09:31 PM

Yes, to much of a hassle to take out!

Rick, are you available tomorrow after work? If so, give me a time frame and I will run that torsen by your house! I will be out in that area anyways, knock out 2 birds with 1 stone!

hornetball 02-18-2013 09:45 PM

Should be. Working from home tomorrow.

FowlerMotorsports 02-18-2013 09:46 PM

Perfect, I will load it up tomorrow morning!

1999 Mazda MX-5 Miata 2dr Conv 6 speed Manual

What would you pay, cash in hands for this car?

hornetball 02-20-2013 06:45 PM

Oooohhhh! Clean, low-mileage 10AE. Nice.

I don't know anything about NB values, I'm just checking out what you're doing.

Add says "Vehicle comes with a 1.8L four cylinder engine with 140 horsepower." :giggle: I'll bet you have other plans.

FowlerMotorsports 02-20-2013 06:52 PM

This has sold, unfortunately! It sparked my interest so I called and they said it has gone :vash:

Just looking for a good base price I should expect to pay, I am hoping between $6,300 and $7000 for a nice SE/10AE so I can get a torsen and 6 speed. I'd love to find a white NB, that way I can be cool like Vlad and Bryan! :makeout:

turbofan 02-20-2013 09:24 PM

Aww man I missed the "cool" list! Must be cuz I took the lame way out and bought my car already built :-P
