price is right, 90k on the clock, FL car, nice stereo, all stock. Going to come back saturday when the weather clears take it for a spin and make an offer and drive it home to get ripped apart and abused.

:rofl: my thoughs exactly nice find Scot. Mat even if the motor is fubarr he has a good 1.6 ready to go but i would still use that as a bargianing point. ;)

Nice wheels :gay:
Glad you got to take a look under such great conditions.

Braineack 01-17-2008 12:57 PM

airbag light flashing, he taped it up to pass inspection :rofl:

yeah i was taken aback by the flowers....he looked Hawaiian, but the stereo itself was VERY loud.

he bought the car from a couple in FL and only owned it for 6 months, he's the second owner....he replaced the top with that glass one (probably have to trade) and added the stereo. replaced the slave, and other than the wheels and foglight switch the rest is stock.

Nice find.

Braineack 01-19-2008 02:12 PM

gave a deposit to have him hold the car, although he's not actively selling it.

Insurance adjuster is coming Tuesday and we want to make absolute certain we get our $$$ before we purchase another.

Ours was valued at 4750, and the salvage title should cost $700 itself. So I'll keep mine and break even on this one. then when i start parting it, i can afford some of the parts and fluids I need :)


better shot of the bay....pretty well kept.

you can get good money for the K&N!

samnavy 01-19-2008 04:19 PM

For an engine bay that doesn't look "cleaned", it's really clean. I'd say you scored big depending on the price. I hope the motor is strong.

So, whaddya gonna need...? Manifold, DP, and new MS? Tap the pan, swap over fuel rail/injectors, clutch, brakes??? What am I missing?

Your wheels/tire/rollbar will swap... what about shocks/sways? Gonna re-install your old clutch?

Did you determine if your old hard-top was salvagable?

miataz 01-19-2008 05:01 PM

what kind of sound system is it? Is it just the speakers hooked up to that amp or does it have subs to.

it's a stock 1993:

pull engine, swap in mine.

swap MS and COPs over.

swap rollbar over with my new boss frog seatbelt guides.

swap shocks/springs/control arms and all over in one shot. swap front swaybar over with my new RB endlinks.

find a zipper top and trade.

swap exhaust.

swap differential, after i install my spare rx7 carrier on it.

swap my front lip over, move the hardtop over.

move head unit down and install 3 gauge panel above, frame the yellow flowers.

sell everything i can for money for: new clutch disc, water-bypass, fluids, larger intercooler.



should have a busy weekend or two :)

levnubhin 01-19-2008 07:50 PM

Brian, any idea on how much you want for the 1.6 engine? Id prefer 90k over my 186k

If loki doesn't want to pay for fright, he mentioned wanting my engine earlier. I'd more than likely sell the engine with trans for something like $400-500 + frieght.

Fireindc 01-19-2008 08:46 PM

Looks great, post pics when you devirginize her!

johndoe 01-19-2008 09:27 PM

why would you swap control arms? Do you have new bushings in your wrecked car?

Braineack 01-19-2008 09:35 PM

cause it's easier....i have upgrade brakes and ss brake lines....

id rather unbolt the shock mount and the control arms and remove the entire section brakes, hub and all and swap them over, i also need the axles in the back as well.
