Totaled 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5

$7500 OBO for everything.

If major subassemblies are desired, that may be arranged provided I sell enough of them to cover the salvage value, tools to part it out, and storage fees. If you are interested in a large subset of parts I will discount.

Assembly Prices:

Engine/ECU/Harness/Stock Intake Tract/Exhaust Tract through Midpipe (Full conversion; should be emissions legal) - $4,000
Transmission (Mazdaspeed 6-Speed) - $600
Axles/Differential/Driveshafts/Subframe (Note: These parts are interdependant) - $600 - Sold
Top (Perfect condition canvas) - $300 - Sold
Full Interior (Leather, including all Mazdaspeed specific parts, e.g. Mirror) - $900
Rear Exhaust Section (Mazdaspeed catalog item) - $100
Bilstein Dampers/Mazdaspeed Springs - $500
Mazdaspeed Swaybars/Bushings - $100
Headlights (Internally blacked out) - $600
Front Bumper Cover (Includes Mazdaspeed trim, fog lights; 2" non-structural tear that is nearly invisible) - $400
Rear Bumper Cover - $300
Trunk (Includes Mazdaspeed spoiler) - $400
Hood - $300
Passenger Front Fender - $200
Passenger Mirror - $100
WedsSport TC-105N Wheels (3 Perfect/1 Broken) with Kumho XS 205/50-15 Tires (4 with 3,000 Miles) - $800

That listed, I would prefer to sell it as a whole.

Odometer shows ~42,000 Miles. Damage caused by sliding into a lightpole at ~25MPH.

Aftermarket parts:
FM Full Intake - $450 - Sold
WedsSport TC-105N Wheels (3)
FM Downpipe (NIB) - the stock Downpipe is currently installed - $300

Damage is limited to LF Fender, LF Suspension, L Door, Windshield, A-Pillar (cosmetic), Tear in Unibody under driver footbox (repairable).

Total estimate for factory style repair (replace with factory unibody panels) was ~$7500 + 100 Hours labor. Estimate for workable repair (sheetmetal patching) was ~$2000 and 25 Hours. I have the quote and will include a copy if you like.

My suggestion is to take everything and throw it in a good NA (or NB) body. Everything involved in the switch is PERFECT. Interior is not worn, car runs perfectly, top is 100%, etc. This is the GT Package, so it has a Leather Interior (black with red stitching) and the Canvas Top (black).

If this is used for an NA switch, the unique Front Bumper, Spoiler, Rear Bumper, and Headlights will probably fetch a reasonable price.

It is currently in a friends garage, but can be shown at any time. It is located in N. Fort Worth. Transport can be arranged as part of the sale.

Please contact me @ 559-940-1943 if you are interested.

Pics?

video of the drift event?

Will post pics this weekend.

No pics or video of the event, sorry!

How much for the rear bumper?

I do not have the ability to part this out currently, or would do that.

I'd say $7500 for the rear bumper. ;)

Sorry to hear that, that car was very nice. Hydra?

Hydra has been (provisionally; waiting on the check) sold.

Bump for Part Out prices.

I will take the top. Sent PM

Bob

Price quote, please, for the FM intake set-up and the FM downpipe.

FM DP I will let go for $300. It really is NiB, you save $35 plus shipping.

Intake for $450. This is the version with the newer o2 mod. I have all NEW lines and hoses for this setup, no cutting of your stock stuff required (it will be if you order from FM).

I also have the FM Boost Gauge that I will throw in (with the requisite lines and fittings) for $50. I have an unused single A-Pillar mount that will be included.

The FM stuff I will part immediately. The rest I am holding off until I am able to sell the engine. The reason being that I will have a much easier time selling the car whole if I don't have a bunch of cosmetic stuff off of it. For those that have PM'd me or posted, you will be first to get a call on those parts.

If you know anyone who might want the engine, PLEASE let me know. I would much rather this all go to good homes than to eBay...

Oh, and these prices ARE OBO. I trust you guys to give me reasonable valuations. Most of those prices were off the hip

I sent you a PM on the top. Have not heard back yet.

As above, I will not be piece-parting the car until I have the big stuff sold.

If it has to go on eBay, it goes whole.

Interested in just the tires if you'll ship em to Austin (and they're TCB).

Chris

Does the $450 for the intake include the BoV, throttle body inlet and MBC?

It includes everything listed here:

Plus all new cut-to length hosing to keep you from cutting any stock pieces.

FM Intake Sold :clap:

How much for just the seats?

Buck

Well if you do end up parting it out, how much for the door sill plates?

In for updates on part-out. Might be interested in a few interior bits as well. Mainly the complete dash (minus gauges and electronics but including glove box, under-column, etc).

I am not interested in buying anthing, I just want to see some pics of the damage!! :)

Sorry about the lack of updates and pictures; we have a major inspection coming up at work and the stress has been getting to me.

I go on vacation today after work for 8 days, and will be getting back to everyone regarding the parts prices and coordinating pickup times, etc.

I do appreciate everyone's patience!

PM sent re: axles/diff/driveshaft.

How much for the seats? Each or as a pair? If you are willing to sell them without the rest of the carpet / mirrors / etc, that is.

PM sent about the rear bumper cover.

PM sent regarding front bumper cover.

I may be interested in more than just the dash. (door cards, main tub carpet, door sills). So if this interior part-out happens, let me know.

Hey, heard this car moved somewhere else, I'm interested in the front bumper cover when it comes back up.

However, I'd maybe need to arrange shipping. I've got a friend in Fort Worth that could do it for me though, so the seller doesn't have to...

Yeah, Cobalt sold the car whole (local I believe). To my understanding the parts are gonna be used in a NA model. I'm sure the body parts and stuff will probably pop up soon though.

I bought it whole. Thinking of doing a swap into a low mile NA tub with title if I can find one. The other option is putting it back together. We installed new A-arms and the car lines up straight. I already have the fender, hood and door that it needs off another titanium MSM press car that was given to my partner by Mazda a long time ago. Regardless it is a salvage title so the economics need to work.

I do think an NA MSM would be pretty cool.

An NA msm IS pretty cool. Don't forget if you go Pre OBD-II, that allows you the use of the FM Link, and a million other easier ecu options, vs. the OBD-II issues with the ECU.

You should drop by Mazda-speed.com and look for a fella named 95MSM. I don't think there is a more complete MSM-->NA swap out there. From the engine, torsen, braces, to the instrument cluster, its pretty much all there.

And, if you do end up parting it, I'm in for at least the Front bumper/Drivers fender. I'd probably also be down for the the headlights, and I sort of want a spare set of A-arms to box, so I can then just swap them out for my current units...
That's all considering you do part it out and can work with me. I've seriously been trying to find a Ti bumper for over a year. No luck anywhere.

Guys at the shop have pulled the bodies off the drive train of two MSMs in short order. The opposite will be much more difficult. I will check out 95MSM. As far as parts, just do not know yet what I will do.

Pretty surprising they've come accrost two MSM wrecks in such short order. Not really that common anymore, from what I gather. I have only dealt with the few large Miata-specific recyclers in looking for parts, but in the upper Midwest there might be about a dozen of these cars at best, hah.

Either way, good luck with whatever you do, getting that motor capable of 230-250hp is not all that difficult, and even in the heavier NB chassis its a real hoot to kick around in.

Btw, if anything comes up, its likely best to contact me at [email protected], I'm checking it daily. Regards,
Nick

Here you go Bob.

That'd be him. He's quite highly knowledgeable with automobiles, obvious enough from what he pulled off there. On top of the swap, he had a set of intake pipes made up so that he could re-clock the turbo and shorten the intake tract a great deal. This and his exhaust plumbing makes his car pretty quick I'd figure. I forget what numbers he's posting, but I think its in the 240whp area these days, no methanol, pump gas..

Best ask him to find out for yourself though, he's still active. I think I'll stop cluttering your guys' for sale section now, my apologies!

The two cars were given to MER after the press had their way with them. They could not be titled or registered so they took the bodies off and used the parts.

Right now it looks like the car will live again as a 2004, albeit salvage, MSM. There is a small amount of unibody damage that we will patch. Then you will see it for sale pretty cheap if everything goes as planned, and it never does.

Well, you had my hopes up for a minute there! MER apparently gave the front bumper to a local bodyshop recently, so I missed out on it. Bummer. Maybe that was you guys? Thought the front bumper was in good condition though on your car.

Well, good luck with the rebuild, hope it comes out ok. Sure are fun little cars.

They did sell it to a body shop.
