Those motherfuckers overcharge for everything. I wouldn't buy anything from them, hdegroof is a much cheaper alternative and he's friendlier.

Miatakingdom may have the selection available on a more regular basis, but if you're willing to wait you can get it for about 1/2 to 1/3 the price from Hdegroof.

Also, if you want a viscous, I'll be selling mine shortly. I have a torsen to install.

damn i need to ebay my diff someday

bryantaylor Nov 24, 2007 10:33 PM

there is a 94 torsen in craigslist here for $620 for just the rearend, wtf?

firedog25 Nov 24, 2007 10:37 PM

I got my Torsen... from a 96 I think... for $700 that includes diff in pumpkin, axles, hubs, and propshaft.

From a dude on Craig's List, he would've installed them for another $150 but I figured screw that I'll do it myself.

I will support hdegroof whenever he has parts that I want. He is very responsive with communications and charges a fair price for shipping and often has killer deals on his parts. I bought a set of "R" bilsteins with springs and shocks for $125 shipped from him before.

I'm definitely not a fan of Miatakingdom since his prices are so out of the ballpark on all of his parts.

I've bought so much stuff from Hdregroof, he's a good guy for sure. In fact, if he had the torsen I would've bought it from him. Too bad fucking Planet Miata is using eBay as a salvage yard now and buying everything cheap up there is.

01TurboMiata Nov 25, 2007 01:40 PM

i wouldnt pay that much

kotomile Nov 25, 2007 05:11 PM

bought from hdegroof twice, great seller.

Stealth97 Nov 25, 2007 05:27 PM

I got a 00 intake from miatakingdom once. the BIN price was $150 but I offered him $100 and he took it. It came from a automatic car and he thouhgt it was different. His other 99-00 manifolds were like $300. I felt like I was doing the miata community a service by giving his high price parts the shaft.

kung fu jesus Nov 26, 2007 01:46 AM

yes. planetmiata will buy miata stuff on ebay and resell it on their own site.

Zabac Nov 26, 2007 09:52 AM

thats why when you wreck your car dont let it go, buy it back and part it out yourself or sell to someone on here if you dont have the room

LOLA - 92 Nov 26, 2007 09:26 PM
