Default I've looked and looked...dead ends everywhere...square top intake mani

So...being new to the miata world, I kinda missed the train on the non USDM intake manifold. Problem is, I want one really bad lol

Does anyone know where I can buy one that isn't going to be $500? Like a japanese exporting company or something like that. Or maybe one of you guys has one you'd be willing to part with?

Either way, let me know!

Thanks

It´s insured and needs a signature for delivery. Next option with tracking was at least double the money, which negates any advantages of me getting these things cheap.

I know from one at 30 miles from my home. I would need to ask the seller for the price again since he asked too much money the first time I talked to him.

At my local junk yard, there's at least 10! And I'm in a relatively small city. I've been to junk yards in the outskirts of Miami and they had whole sections full of miatas
