I love the price of Ford parts
Been buying some odds and ends for the V8 car. I was a bit worried about prices after been spoiled with cheap Miata prices but the fear was not warranted.
New King Cobra clutch, TOB, pilot bearing, alignment tool, good for 400WHP $160.55 shipped from dealer. New high torque geared mini-starter (only 6 lbs!) $56.50 shipped from dealer. 8 brand new 30 lb fuel injectors (stock are 19 lb) $100 from private party. Used Ford Lighning 90mm MAF $50 private party. Used BBK 65mm throttle body and EGR spacer $50 private party. Heck, they are as good or better than Miata prices. |
Yep, new or used. I've bought one ford part - 65mm throttle bod and plenum that had all sensors including the tps. <$17 delivered.

Wife has a Focus with SVT suspension - parts prices always pleasantly surprise me.

Ive always thought miata parts were expensive as hell.
But I guess thats because in the past Ive worked on aircooler VWs, small block fords, and hondas. All of which are WAAAY cheaper |
Seeing as I work at a Ford dealership, I get all my parts through here. We get a nice discount with all the local dealerships :D It made turbo charging the Miata quite a bit more affordable.
