Looks like my car is throwing a CEL for dead cat and believe it or not the previous owner put a right side rear caliper on the left side and mounted it upside down. Let me know if you have either of these items sitting around you want to sell.

WTB: Left Rear Brake Caliper and ALL Replacement PARTS FOR 1997 Miata
PO did no maintainence, so I will be rebuilding this car from scratch. Please bring a spare miata to my house so I can transfer all the parts. Be on the lookout for a FS ad in about 6 months with the caption "all new parts!"

P.S. I doubt it will take 6 months for me to punt this hooptie.
This car sounds like a basketcase, jo-jo. Were you drunk when you bought it?
Of course, there's nothing else to do in East TX besides drink and go to the gun range/bowling alley all in 1 building.Quote:

We were worried about being raped and I don't mean on pricing/car.Quote:

Very serious I'm not forgetting a gun next time. We were in the middle of no where. End up remaking Deliverance or something out there.Quote:

Unless it's a bonsai garden that wouldn't fly. When is the last time you saw an Asian doing landscaping?Quote:

I have the cat off my '96. should still be good. $20?
I can bring it to ER next weekend if you want it.
I was able to grab both the caliper and cat this weekend from rawmiatanv. Nice meeting you and thanks again!
Anyone have a good condition cloth driver side NA seat or aftermarket seat that bolt in?
Yes, actually. It's faded to more of a dark gray, but there's no holes, tears, or about-to-be holes or tears. From my '90, has [blown] stock headrest speakers. I did a foamectomy on it. I also removed the rear pad that just slips in and out...I *might* still have it somewhere, not sure. I just rolled a towel for lumbar support.Quote:

Well it turns out the caliper I picked up was frozen and only functional as a paperweight so still looking for another rear driver side caliper...
I think that Miata is telling you what I tell everyone: "Should have bought a Honda 2000! ROR"
Show me a S2000 for less than 4K and gets 30 MPG that uses $15 autozone brake rotors.Quote:

Lol..I know he sold his S2K and I know that any Miata with half the money spent comparing to S2K would kill S2K at any AX.Quote:

I'm just messing with you man. I know it's the best option out there and it makes perfect sense but you know me, I have to talk against Miata because of Thomas :)Quote:
