Though it's for a probe/mx6/626, it looks like the IC will fit if that's overall size AND that's a lot of mandrel bends for the price, even if it's mild steel- ad doesn't say.

Yes- so all that for $70 total. I think that's a steal. A few cuts and couplers could make this work in a Miata IMO. Oh- and that intercooler has some nice shaped end tanks on it for the core shape.

I picked it up...but before seeing that ridiculous shipping fee.
Either way it still comes out to $70, and I've got more to work with.
This is certainly a lot easier than chasing down whatever I might be missing on a 14yr old kit.
I imagine a little cutting and coupling will definitely make it work.

I ended up picking one of these up for $71 shipped.
Arrived with a piece of crap, dented, 3" inlet/outlet, tube & fin intercooler.
Complained to the seller, no response to two emails over four days. Filed paypal dispute, that got his attention.
The replacement intercooler arrived today. It's perfect, 2.5" inlet/outlet, bar & plate- same as in auction picture. Cancelled the dispute.
It also came with a pair of 2.5" silicone couplers; nice bonus.
Took some battling, but it's a great value.
