New NB on the board...:noob:
Hey guys, my name is Josh and I'm from Searcy, AR. I just bought a black 99 soft top w/ Nardi. It's my first MX5, and hopefully the last car I'll be buyin for a while. I'm not going to bother with pictures, because it's bone stock and the top is shot. The only mod is a Sony CD deck.
Right out of the gate I'm going to put a feeler out and see if anyone's got a softtop or hardtop around $400-500 shipped to Jackson,TN that they could part with. If so, please PM me asap. Thanks. |

i didn't figure i'd get much, but i'm getting married and dont' have much jack right now. as far as the AR-TN thing is concerned, I'm an intern in Jackson and will be here until the first week in August. I'd hop all over the classifieds, but there's a 10-post limit to do that, so here's #2.

Check out craigslist in the TN area, i usually get alot of luck looking for miata parts in Tennesse and north carolina.

u could get a soft top shipped for 300....a hardtop is 800+ shipping unless u get lucky or find a crackhead selling it for 400 cuz he's desperate..
welcome |
if i buy one with the frame included, how tough is it to install a soft top? I've done some minor body stuff (fog lights, hood replacement, lip install, etc.)

There is a detailed writeup on miata.net in the garage section. I used it to replace the soft top complete on my old 90 with an economy no-zip window from Daveshouze. Here is the section I was referencing: http://www.miata.net/garage/garagetops.html If you don't mind doing the complete replacement labor, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-04...spagenameZWDVW $365.00 for a new top. It took me about 6 hours on the first one that I ever did. That included drilling the rivets and reusing the rain rail. |
awesome, so I guess now all i need is 10 posts so I can start harrassing you guys in the classifieds about a top. i got the holes sealed up at a local upholstery shop in memphis, so i'm good for the here and now, but I'd like one that's not got silicon all over it. anyone know anything about planetmiata.com? are they legit?

Since you need to make some more posts, go right ahead and start asking questions ;) Now; pics or ban! :giggle: |

I got a Robbins convertible top w/ out the frame for $175 shipped off ebay. It was kind of a pain to put the top on the frame, but putting the frame on or taking it off is simple.

Dear lord we almost had a decent economy back when this thread was alive.
