I bought a $1200 Mazda Miata donor car for our Subaru body swap. It came with an RX-8 Rotary. Oops
I was bet that I couldn't find a $1000 Miata donor car for our project. I found one on Facebook Marketplace that was $1200. Close enough. The catch? It had a "running" 2008 Mazda RX-8 swap already in it. The goal? Do a body swap with my 1990 Subaru Justy that I drove in high school. What could possibly go wrong?
In our first episode of the series:
1️⃣ Move the Justy: After years sitting on Jaime’s property, the Justy needed a bit of creativity (and muscle) to move. There was a V8 Subaru Ute and Toyota Avalon race car involved in the process of getting it loaded.
2️⃣ Aquire the Miata: The 2000 NB Mazda Miata was easily loaded and transported but the seller claimed it "would run" - as we foun...

      Hola amigo! Yo conozco San Jose y Manuel Antonio!! EJ22 es lo mejor - hay dos tipos de motores de la fase 1: puertos de escape solo y doble. Puerto solo: estos motores tienen uno puerto de escape por cabeza. Este diseño esta en los motores de la fase 1 en anos 1996-1998 y en todos los motores de la fase 2. Puerto doble: estos motores tienen dos puertos de escape por cabeza. Este diseño esta en los motores de la fase 1 en anos 1989-1995. Recuerdo que los motores de puerto doble eran más deseables. El mío es de 1995, así que tengo puerto doble pero también OBD2. Subaru Legacy tenía OBD2 y Impreza no. OBD2 es más difícil debido a la necesidad de engañar al sensor de O2.

    Honda’s better than that. They do everything from generators to pressurized jet aircraft and do it well. I just hope if this happens they are good enough to absorb the bad of Nissan without getting poisoned themselves. Nissan has some huge fumbles recently and Mitsubishi is barely hanging on in the states. They made the Eclipse into a small SUV that no one except rental companies bought. Off-roaders are hot right now and Honda doesn’t have one. They could bring the Montero back through Mitsu as a proper purpose built off-roader to go after bronco, wrangler, 4Runner. Make it simple, no hybrid no forced induction. Triple lock option and an available stick shift. Keep price low and it would prob be a winner. Same could be done with xterra but Montero has a better pedigree

    This generation of XJ is pretty much as good as it gets reliability wise the 4.2 is very stout ZF-6 speed is generally excellent as long as its serviced its aluminium so no rust issues. So I'd say its a good purchase. Air suspension can be the only thing that may cause some trouble but generally not that expensive to fix.

Unfortunately parts are getting extremely hard to get new recently. Scrap yards are cool and all for things like coil springs & suspension springs since the only vendor selling new was directly from Japan for 500$ Thing like intermediate shaft bearings and specific pieces that shouldn't be salvaged from a yard, are starting to bring me on wild goose chase I dread the day in the not so distant future that i will have to reunite her with her siblings to rust away while slowly being stripped for parts

    Im just here curious is anyone else got lucky. My buddy just brought me a 2006 with only 135k on it. He got it at the auction for 1400. They told him it had a broke valve. I heard severe clacking when he tried to crank it but this sound is too familiar to me and I told him the timing belt tensionor failed. He gave me a green light to dive in so I removed the timing cover and check position of the cams. Bank 2 was off by 2 teeth so I reset it, replaced the water pump and belt and it's running beautifully. This was the best deal every in my opinion.
