What are most desired parts for a FB...???
 
I know that a glass moonroof is desired a lot.... what else??? GSL-SE injectors(hard to find).... I live near a Junkyard... I wanna see if theirs anything valuable.... besides RX-7... what's most desired parts on other cars....????

thorin 03-31-03 03:30 AM

the dome light cover.. center console.. the door cups...

i could personally really use some power window switches. can yoiu price those out for me please?

Gregs 03-31-03 03:41 AM

i was going to say se injectors.... but another this is gsl-se suspension.........

-greg

81Rex6port13b 03-31-03 04:51 AM

the 3 most wanted items are:


GLASS SUN ROOF

GSL-SE Suspention

TARGA BAND

Gregs 03-31-03 04:54 AM

I was going to say targa band also, but I was pointing more at performance based desires. The targa band though is a very nice/rare/desired first gen part.

Pele 03-31-03 09:07 AM

i see those all the time in the junkyard. you are talking about the front bumper cover right? :confused:

rx7gslse 03-31-03 11:25 AM

yes, but the IMSA one.. not the one on 99% of the cars.

81Rex6port13b 03-31-03 01:44 PM

my friend has a Starion intercooler he might selling for $150 if any one is iterested.

he was going to put it on his TII but the car is being dumb and looks like he need a new drive shaft, Rear end mount and LSD.

so he needs money.

MRGSL-SE 03-31-03 04:53 PM

I can easily get the Window switches....

I see a lot of Nissan junked cars... (280, 240 etc)

I see Supra's too... but I don't know if they're turbo

The targa band... I don't know what that is but I've probably seen one....

starion.... I think I've seen a couple of those....

Turbo II.... Since my junkyard going days began... I've only seen 1.... motor and tranny removed...

3 GSL-SE since I've been at the yard (different yards)....

The center console I can easily get that.....

Wheel wells... I don't know how that looks, but I think I removed one this weekend...

I've seen a junk car with glass pack and a dynomax muffler NO CATS... Dome light cover... I've seen a lot, but only one that was in good condition... it still had its 2 prongs that break off easily...

AJC13B 03-31-03 05:11 PM

the guy is using it as an ice racer, so he'll probably give the motor back...

Shiny Stainless steel piece of metal that goes over the roof of a car to make it look like it has a targa top...

Kouki_1st_Gen 04-01-03 03:20 AM

top three parts i want

new tranny, new master cylinder, paintjob

mwpayne 04-01-03 05:58 AM

You can get the cups (if we're talking about the same thing, the plastic part behind the inside door handle) at mazdatrix. I got two recently.....

Cody 04-01-03 08:44 AM

by "door cups" they mean the part of the armrest, where you put your fingers in, to pull the door closed as you sit down.

They're pretty cheap plastic....I imagine it would be next to impossible to find good condition ones at a junkyard. They're only like $6.00 at a Mazda dealership???? If so, I know where I'm going.

And, here is a picture of the Targa band:

Terrh 04-01-03 09:36 AM

it's too bad they're aren't any true targa FBs, that would rock! I'd buy one in a heartbeat, targa cars own.

FB parts are generally pretty easy to find, I don't know why you guys have so much difficulty!

as far as interiors go, I doubt I'll have much trouble there. Maybe if my dashboard breaks or something, but thats all of my interior that's left, so ..... :)

no door cups here :)

AJC13B 04-01-03 04:50 PM

And people want this targa band?? :eek: :stickpoke :crzyeye:

claytonjh1223 04-01-03 07:22 PM

worlord 04-01-03 08:29 PM

Well isn't it supposed to turn into a WTB thread when someone says they found a junkyard with rexes that haven’t been completely pillaged over for parts?

Yes.. Suspension mounting brackets are 20mm lower than any other year...

Reduces tail happiness.

The only MAJOR difference between GSL and GSL-SE suspension, aside from bolt pattern and gear ratio.

Between two different yards here, I found the following

1980 (All black, but seats removed... Coulda been a Leather Sport model...) Automatic though :puke: Air cleaner was left open and rain in the carb....

1983 Fucked up chunky silver paint job... Stick... Also rain in the carb... Took the ignitors.. Dizzy was gonna be close to $200... Fuck that. I'll get a new one for that.

That's it... Can't find any 1984-1985's... None with power steering either... They've got a huge network of yards, all under the same management, so they have access to each other's inventories... Expensive as hell too... Fuck em.
