Saves me looking over on miata.net, to resurrect that old saying
.
First, how do the NC Miatas hold up? I've just stumbled across a 2007 with a lot of miles for the year (107k) that seems to have ben owned by someone with a clue.
Also, what's the going rate for an NA torsen w/ driveshafts? Another STO has turned up on the radar with a hardtop.
Going rate for the Torsen swap is 600-800, more likely 800.
No idea on NC durability. Sadly, I don't fit so I don't care. Any puck and pulls near you? That is where people tend to get the best prices. I have heard of the entire rear subframe going for $2-400. Easier to bolt in to boot.
No pick-n-pulls here that have Miatas. For some odd reason they're fairly rare out here at least compared to over the hills in CA...
ive heard around 800-1000 with all the mounting hardware its closer to 1000. just the diff and shafts probably more around 800
The NCs seem to be pretty good. It's a different sort of owner, so we don't see as many of them - not as many as we saw NBs when the NB were new, for example. But they're reliable. The mid-run refresh in 2009 gave a number of nice upgrades, including forged engine internals on the manual trans cars and an improved stock suspension setup.
Miatas at auction tend to get picked up by specialist salvage yards.
