Rock Auto just sent me a closeout list for 1997 Miatas. Some interesting stuff and crazy low prices:

RockAuto Auto Parts

 

This is awesome. Brake pads are damn near free.

A little bit of Google-fu for the rest of the Miata family.

1990 (NA6) - RockAuto Auto Parts

1994 (NA8 OBDI)- RockAuto Auto Parts

1996 (NA8 OBDII)- RockAuto Auto Parts

1999 (NB1) - RockAuto Auto Parts

2016 (ND) - RockAuto Auto Parts

 

Awesome post. Anyone got any recommendations on brake pads from there that would work for a DD? Don't need anything overly performance related as the car will only be used on the street.

Re: Brake pads -- I ordered Akebono ceramic rear pads (Akebono is an OEM pad manufacturer for Toyota) and API ceramic front pads as the API's where the only ceramic fronts that I saw.

 

I run the cheapest ones they have in the rear. Look like they are made of cardboard. But work fine

 

Damn, I never new about the closeout RSS feeds on Rock Auto. Now I'm looking at stuff for my other cars. Would likecat you again if I could.

 

Got some belts and other disposables. Thanks for the tip boss!

 

Got brake pads, an air filter, and a couple Gates belts for the Miata. Then placed a second order for brake pads, air filters, cabin air filters, and headlight bulbs for the Sentra and RAV4. Great deal all around. Those closeout RSS feeds are awesome, going to add those to my Feedly reader.

 

Just doin' this for the kitties.

 

Thanks boss. I got a Continental timing belt, plug wires, air filter, clutch slave, and cam seals for $35 shipped. The 5% discount worked for me. Pretty awesome deal!

Never done the upkitty, now I'm handing them out like candy on Halloween in this thread.

 

I prob. won't be ordering anything before the 7th, if anyone needs a code:

first come first served, obviously.

 

API brand will work nicely.





Thank you for the posting OP.

 

Thanks Cord. I'm $250 lighter now.

 

Very happy to oblige.

 

How do you add to cart?

 

Right side of page, "Go to RockAuto catalog". Open link in new tab. Select your choice of cheap parts. Lather rinse repeat until wallet empty/desires fulfilled.

 

This thread is still 100% win, but I will say that actual RSS feeds are useless. The feed doesn't see each item individually, so you don't really get notified when a new closeout item is added to the feed. You just get a daily notification that contains the full list of closeout items. Unless you feel like reanalyzing that list every single day, you'd never notice new items being added.


EDIT: I said "daily" notifications, but that's not right...apparently it refreshes whenever the list is changed/updated, but it still sends the whole list, not just the new item.
