1993 Fastback SE, 160k miles - Looking for $3250 OBO for EVERYTHING!!
Super deal, all you need is a tranny and driveshaft, or, it will make an excellent donor car for all parts, including interior.
Serious inquiries only, please! If interested, please contact me via PM or e-mail. If you want to talk, PM/e-mail your cell or I can give you mine.

Lowballers: What's the lowest I'll go? Not sure, it depends on the interest and if anyone comes and looks @ the car.. Obviously, it's OBO.. but don't lowball, you are getting a great setup and a lot of new parts if you take this deal. There has been plenty of interest but no one has come to look at the car yet!!

ENGINE
-Redtop SR20DET w/Igniter, ECU, Harness wired for S13 (obviously)
-Valve cover sandblaster, painted semi-gloss flat black and letters polished.
-S14 T28 Turbo w/stock exhaust manifold, S14 turbo oil return bung, etc.
-Greddy compressor inlet pipe
-Nismo Motor & Tranny mounts

-Energizer Miata Battery (bought at end of Sept. 08)
-Autometer Boost, Oil, Water Gauge
-Freddy Intake Manifold
-Circuit Sports Stainless steel braided turbo lines
-Circuit Sports Blue anodized pulleys
-Circuit Sports Rocker arm stoppers

-Innovate Motorsports FMIC set-up
-Powered by Max S13 Radiator
-B&N Short Shifter

SUSPENSION
-Stance GR+ Coilovers (less than 6k, bought in Nov 08)
-Powertrix Rear Upper Control Arm (Gen 2 w/rubber dust boots, less than 5k, Nov 08)
-Powertrix Traction Control Rod (Gen 2 w/rubber dust boots, less than 5k, Nov 08)
-Powertrix Toe Rod (Gen 2 w/rubber dust boots, less than 5k, Nov 08)
-5zigen FN’s, Black w/polished lip, 4x114.3, 17x8, +20 or +25 offset (not 100% sure of offset)
-wheels come with tires, Kumho Ecsta’s, 225/45/R17, lots of tread left.

Exhaust
-Greddy DD Exhaust
-Circuit Sports Test Pipe
-Circuit Sports Turbo turbo elbow

The Good:
-The chassis is in good shape and the interior is in very good condition for its age (non-cracked dash). I even have the trunk cover! I’ve owned the car since 90k miles.
-Compression was 145ish (cold) across the board when I bought the motor in August. Installed it in late September ‘08.
-T28 spools up great and spins very freely. I can hear the turbine spinning for about 5 seconds even after the car is idled, cooled, and shut off.
-Reliable setup (until the tranny went). I never had any overheating or cooling issues. I drove up to San Jose from Palmdale twice and once from SJ to SD with no problems whatsoever. Driven a handful of round trips from Palmdale to SD, no issues.

The Bad:
-dented front passenger fender
-Old lady in SUV backed into me and now there is a huge dent in the driver quarter panel (might be able to pull out, but I'm not sure)
-Bad tranny. Bearing gave out and I don’t have time to find a replacement.

Long story short:
I moved away to Palmdale from SD for a job and don’t have storage space for the car. I currently work 54hr/week and this was my commuter car and I need another one quick so I can get to and from work. I don’t have time to look for a tranny or space/storage to do the swap. Looking for quick sale or possible trade.

Serious inquiries only, please! If interested, please contact me via PM, e-mail. Can give cell # if needed.

On to the pictures! A few pics before the swap and pics from when I was in Big Bear mid-Jan. Sorry for the lame pictures, it's all I could find and my camera is broken.

FAQ:
Any electrical problems?
No electrical gremlins here. Door locks, power windows, etc all work fine. Although the brake light comes on now and then, but that's because of the passenger sidemarker.. the bulb sits loose in the socket. It could use a new sidemarker if that bothers you.

Questions regarding the Gauge set-up and interior condition/pics
Gauge is located in the lower din. I cut out an black acrylic panel to hold the gauges. As for the interior, there are no cracks on the dash. Left bolster tear on the driver side and a tear in the carpet next to the driver's knee. The interior isn't perfect, but it isn't an eye-sore either. All the trimmings and plastic are in pretty good condition as well. I'll try to have pictures up later this week.

Audio/Stereo
I have a pioneer deck that works great with polk audio 6.5" 2-ways in each door, and a 10" Polk audio sub in a small box enclosure. However, the amp died out on me and I haven't had a chance to replace it. The old amp was a 4-channel.. 1 channel to each and 2 bridged to the sub. A 4 channel replacement would be ideal. The stereo worked great before the amp gave out. I have no doubt that it would work just as well with another 4 channel.

Availability
Available to show the car 4pm Mon-Fri.

Unfortunately, the only pictures of the S13 I have are ones with my friends putting snow on my car at Big Bear :D. If you look closely, you can make out the passenger fender dent and driver quarter panel damage.

Notice the wheel's offset...Not inset like the +35 or flush like the +15.. I'm not too sure on the offset so I'm guessing somewhere in between... maybe +20 or +25

Dent picture close-up
Friends/co-workers have looked at this dent and everyone seems to say they have a "guy" that can pull it out.. others say it can't be done. Personally, I think it can be pulled out..

There are no problems with closing the door and sealing. I've driven in rain and washed it many times since it was hit and no problems.

no1 has picked this up yet? this is a damn steal, thats an easy pull, just weld on a tab and get a slide hammer, pull it, weld off the tab and sand it, color match the spot and call it a day... if i had the money i would pick this up in a heartbeat and sell my s13

Added engine bay pictures from my camera phone. Digicam broken.

xllivillx - Yeah, I agree. I think the dent can be pulled out but I haven't had the time..

PIN GIO - Sorry, not looking to part out.

bigcisco62 - I might consider trades, but only for a daily driver.
