That is pretty much the definition of "on the crack pipe" pricing. Hope that guy is ready to be severely disappointed. quote:I have professionally refinished original black parts including front & back wiper arms, window frames and license plate lights housings, due to light fading. So he "professionaly" spray painted the wiper arms? Must be worth $200 right there

His mechanic must have taken him for a LOOOOONG ride. But hey, he put that much into it, he should get that all back  Another seller that's going to be crashing down to reality real soon.

DJ Commie posted:Koni and Bilstein are almost always a better choice than a complete cheap coilover setup, pretty much any Japanese brand will be garbage: BC, Tein, etc have nice looking suspension with terrible damping characteristics. The Chinese knockoffs like Megan are even worse. I don't know if you follow Miata stuff all that much, but apparently Flyin' Miata has some company in the Netherlands making their cheap coil over kits, and it makes me wonder if the company in "the Netherlands" gets them from China. http://flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4537&parentid=0&stocknumber=13-16210%20%201990-97%20NB Was kinda tempting at $600 but I think I'd rather spend the money for a Koni/GC setup.

How are the Bilstein coilovers? They seem reasonably priced, and compared to a Koni/Bilstein GC setup, after buying custom mounts and bump stops I'd be a couple hundred bucks away from Bilstein coilovers anyway. http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Performance-Part/20-1070pss9.html?gclid=CNDIyfXlkbYCFQ-znQodh2YA0w

Jesus it's depressing that I can't get a decent setup for under a grand. Now I'm reading about Konis being crap because they are inconsistent and people have to match them off a dyno, wtf. I really want a good setup for my Miata but I just don't see myself being able to justify the cost. I'll probably have to end buying KYB AGX or some poo poo because my original shocks are hosed

Larrymer posted:Just buy some used Bilsteins, GC sleeves, and FCM top hats. That's probably about 1k or so and the best bang for buck in my opinion. Don't get down about these guys that say everything sucks below 2k or whatever. Yeah, that may be true if you're racing, but on a street car I imagine it's going to be "good enough" for you. I too hate feeling like there's always something better I could have bought but do you really want to spend more on shocks than you did on your car? Yeah That's what I've been thinking, I'll just have to be patient and find some used stuff, build the setup gradually and deal with the shot shocks for now. And to be honest, I wouldn't mind spending money on good shocks to make my car handle the best it can, I just can't afford it. Someone made a good point about spending more money on suspension than a Miata is worth....Would it make you feel better if you spent more on the car? Be glad you got the car cheap so you can spend the money on good dampers.

IIRC he's got a decent suspension setup on it too, so he could make out alright (relatively) parting it out. He needs to get over himself, part out the entire thing then scrap the shell. [edit] Zero bids lol. Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Sep 16, 2013 |

I'd honestly like to remove the PS and AC from my Miata, weight isn't really a concern, but less draw off the motor and a cleaner/less cluttered engine bay is nice. Also the manual racks on Miatas feel awesome and I want one. I wouldn't say it's laziness but more of a automotive anal retentive kinda thing and I don't think it makes me a bad person

I hate sellers that really couldn't care less about when or how they sell their car, taking no account into who contacted them first. I always start a list from the first to last guy that contacts me and take it from there. And I always let the others know how many are in front of them.

Also people that list their cars on any internet site need to check their loving spam folders on a regular basis, it blows my mind how many people don't do this. I've gotten contacted MONTHS after sending an email saying "just found your email in my spam folder, still interested?" No, I found a loving car already you moron.

rscott posted:It'd be a great candidate for a swap if it wasn't 30 grand you mean right? A good body and interior isn't worth that much. The front seat looks like it has a cover on it anyways, so it's probably torn up. Pretty much, there's no way he's gonna get 30k for it, lowball the dude and give it the LSx treatment.

I don't know which is more funny though, building a hilariously ugly car on a Mustang, or thinking somehow that it's worth more than the Mustang he built it on. It's actually worth less than the Mustang he started with.

opengl128 posted:God Damnit. Miata's really are the new 240's, and every single one is going to be ruined. I don't think so, there were WAY more miatas made than 240's so the odds of all of them being ruined are pretty slim. That and all different walks of life enjoy Miatas, not just drifters and ricers, it's easy if you're patient to find one that wasn't molested and taken care of.

Rhyno posted:In ten years all the NAs will be gone. Five years later all the NBs will be gone. Is this hyperbole? There's no way, the number of Miatas sold in the US is crazy, and that's a good thing because parts will always be cheap and plentiful. When my 5 yr old son finally gets my Miata he'll have no problems keeping it running and looking nice.

It has to be BS because ten minutes on Google would have told the guy exactly what it's worth. But if he is that dumb and it's legit I'd jump on a plane too.

Tai-Pan posted:I would call it 99.9% it is nonsense. The only reason I give it a .01% of being real is because it isn't really funny and I cannot see who he would be trolling unless it was a joke on a specific person. Or maybe it could be one of those revenge sales. I knew a guy that picked up a 911 for a fraction of what it was worth because it was in the owner's wife's name and she was pissed at him for cheating or something. It happens, but it's pretty loving rare. animeliker posted:People other than drifters and ricers enjoy 240SXs.
