Woohoo, spent yesterday at the junkyard, got lotsa cool ****! schrounging around in the mud is fun.... haha

First off we spent over an hour looking through the nissans, as i needed lots of little stupid parts (well, wanted atleast) first was to find the center console from a NX1600 or NX2000, as it is a bolt up for my se-r... which has no armrest or cubby. After a while we finally found one and all the parts PIMP ****! talk about sweet, those things are hard as hell to find, and usually cost $100+, i got mine in perfect condition for 5 bucks... haha
old console (not mine)

new console looks like: (not my car)


sweet ****, so moving on, we walked over to the LARGE amount of wrecked mitsus and mazdas... damn where to start, i went off into the mazdas, he went int eh mitsus...... first thing that caught my eye... A BLUE MP3..... ahhhh well i ran like a little school girl i wanted pedals, shifter, etc etc, well all the main parts i wanted were already picked over, except the cd pocket which was still cool, picked that up for later use (or sale, pm me with a price if you want it). so that was disappointing otherwise, no other cool parts. though the rear seats were still there if anyone wants them.

spent a little time and got a set of 2nd gen rx7 seats and a ecu out of a 88 fc3s... for a friends 1st gen gsl-se (now ridin with a 88 6 port engine). also my friend found lots of cool parts in the mitsus, he has a 91 GS-T, made him get a 2nd gen shift **** (great mod imo, keeping the stock look) also he got some trim pieces and a new cluster (his tach doesnt work) but then his best find of the day... a new front bumper already go go for a fmic (not much diffrent, just already shaved) with a nice large FMIC behind it...... an hour of disconnecting **** we got the bumper off (10 bucks.... whoa) and all the piping out and disconnected (5 bucks for pipes) and the intercooler out (20bucks.... he says its a spearco today last i talked to him... after it was cleaned) BOH YAH


So that was probably a good way to blow a little bit of my paycheck, i must say! commin home with a muddy trunk of **** was cool but once cleaned everything looked brand new


oh btw, if anyone wants any parts off a 1st gen, or a 99-00, or 3rd gen protege... ask me they have lots of them.... also any se-r parts i can get too

note: MP3 pocket for sale... pm me with a price

Nice score...It is fun rooting around in the mud, isn't it? And it's amazing what people throw away.

Years ago, when I had a very rusty old '79 VW Scirocco, I went looking for some fenders. I found an '81 in a junkyard, with NO RUST on it, and with a factory sunroof (which mine didn't have) but a bad engine. I took the fenders and the doors, and put them on my car. Two months later, my frame cracked, and the car became unsafe to drive. I went back to the junkyard, hoping to buy the rest of the car, and planning to swap out my good engine into the rust-free shell, and found it had been crushed just a few days before. I almost cried....

hey 5speed, can you see if they have a manual driver side mirror for a 2000 Protege, must be manual.

5SpeedP5

the mp3 pocket is still for sale....

mixmaster_matt

also, see if there are any spoilers for cheap, preferably a blue one. And if there is a stock shift ****, either color for the 3rd gen, in good condition.

Hey, see if you can get a couple of the hog plug type clips that go on the rear dash. (They are right behind the top of the rear seats) When I put my Eibachs on I lost one of those damn things and now my car has a clunk from the rear dash when it rubs together. ( Or maybe I should leave it like that and tell people it's and MP3!!) Sorry, couldn't resist!! And a 3rd generation windshield would be nice too.

ZZOOOMM

The junkyard is where I go to relax. It is a peacefull place where I can get out all of my aggression. Thanks god for them brother!!!!
