A few NA car parts - taking offers

Make that planetmiata.com, and I listed the red nose twice, I only have one besides the one on my face....

Also, I have three of the stock horns, huge demand there I know.

I also have an electric one that plugs straight into the existing wire and is much louder than stock, sort of like one "Wicked Loud" horn instead of two. I actually have two of them, one is on the running car and one is still factory sealed. I am sure that they can be wired to work together as well.

Man that's a long list, I have a Red 91, I am really interested in replacing my plastic windows with the no zip glass, do you have something I can replace my plastic with glass, what else do I need, I would also like to make my manual door lock to power lock anything available.

You are close enough to save on shipping if you happen to be coming into Austin. The top with the no-zip glass window is available. I am pretty sure that it is a Robbins model.

Price? I don't know. It is a few years old but has seen little road use and has been under cover for a lot of the time.

The main advantage is that it is already mounted to a frame and has a good rain rail on it. We could put the entire assembly on the car in a very short amount of time, all we need is time, tools and refreshments.

As far as door locks, I think that all of the ones I have now are non-power.

One steering wheel hub adapter has been sold and I think that the '96 alternator and the 2001 wheels are spoken for.

Pat

possible,

shipping.

Hey Pat - mind if I post this on our club website?

Iva & Vixen

Please do! I need to make two separate lists, what is available for immediate shipping and what needs to wait for the red car to be taken down for good or still needs to be removed from the silver car.

I'll get that done by tomorrow.

Thanks,

Pat

Sounds good, I can drive to Austin, refreshments on me, let's take it off line, email me please..

Abid

taken

No problem. I know we've always got folks on our forum looking for parts.

So, Pat, did you ever get that list done?

Iva & Vixen

Hi Iva,

I received numerous super lowball offers and just a couple of reasonable ones, so I am going to go ahead and let a sorta-friend buy both cars and every single Miata part that I own.

This is assuming that he can come up with the money by October 5th, which he should be able to swing.

So long everyone! I believe that next month is my 10 year anniversary here, it's been fun most of the time.

Later,

Pat

Wait! Come back! I was going to make espresso......

Espresso sounds good!

Lurk mode is now on unless the topic gets too juicy. ;-)

If I find myself living in a city where driving is enjoyable again, I might consider another Miata.

In a place with traffic as bad or worse than Austin, (all large American cities that I have visited), a "point A to point B" car that I don't care about and that is likely to keep me safer from the millions of Texan redneck pickup truck drivers now makes more sense to me than a small 2-seater.

The idea of not owning a car at all for a year or two is also having an increasingly interesting appeal to me.

Pat

Hell, Pat....the newsgroup traffic is going to be cut in half if you lurk.

Do you mean it's going to go down from one post every 2 days to one post every 4 days? ;-)

Hope the people in Houston and the surrounding towns are OK. Three million without power, ouch!

Pat

I've got friends in Spring, TX and the last I heard from them (yesterday) was that the eye was projected to pass about 2 miles East of their house. Hope they're okay!!

Iva & Vixen

I have been to the Spring, TX police department, maybe I have met your friends?

Luckily it was to pick up my then-boss's purse that she lost and the purse was dropped off there, not a mandatory trip wearing those pretty steel bracelets. :-)

That was a fun day, I was only about 22 at the time and she let me drive her almost-new Mercedes which drove quite nicely compared to my crappy

Lots and lots of property damage to Galveston, not sure about Spring. It will be a while before they have a death and injury count, but so far things look like they could have been a lot worse.

Haven't heard from Chris D. since Friday, there is a chance that he is one of the many people in Houston who is still without power.

Pat

I am in Sugar Land, no power since Friday night.

We did ok thru the storm here in the land of Sugar, as my son calls it. Power went off in the early stages of the storm and was off for us about 24 hours. Phone/internet/satellite were off a couple days past that but have been good the last couple days (flashed off a couple times this evening though). Still very limited power at my work but working by sunlight and laptop battery! We've been HUGELY blessed with unseasonably cool weather since the storm but that seems to be going away gradually.

As for Spring, they got it pretty good but I would think there would be a pretty good chance they are powered up by now or real soon. Crews are working their way north (and all directions, I suppose) out from town. They say Conroe may be another week or two. Lots still w/o power. Driving is quite an adventure on the surface streets as MANY people have NO idea how to treat an intersection as a 4-way stop! Lots of traffic lights still down / off.

I heard from my friends in Spring yesterday. They still had no power or cable but apparently did not have much structure damage - thank goodness! Lots of trees down though and lots of clean-up still to do. The worst that happened to them personally was that he broke his glasses.

Ike hasn't caused us any problems here in eastern PA but when Hannah came through, it spun off a tornado in Allentown which did some real damage to a local high school.
