Goodbye Smurfette - Project Partout
Original build thread/car history: https://www.miataturbo.net/build-thr...ss-slow-72243/
Hey all, I just have to rip the bandaid off and re-prioritize. This has been a delightful car and my most comprehensive build I've ever done (so far). It's been 7 years and I've learned TONS and just feel it's time to move on. I keep thinking about an NB with K24, and while I love this car, it no longer sparks joy #Konmari
Because it's unlikely that the car will sell whole, I'll start parting out some of the easy items first. The chassis/suspension/brakes will probably be last until I find stock replacements to keep it a roller.

Yea, huge things like wheels and stuff are going to be more difficult for me to ship logistically, but if there's absolute interest, I'll see if I can figure it out.
I need to run to the dentist, but will be updating this thread throughout the weekend.

Hey guys, I'm still working on prices. I'm inundated with PM's now especially for the XIDA's. Some of these things will hold preference to sell locally so bear with me.
EDIT: Also, I can only respond to 1 PM every 60 Seconds. It's going to be a while. If you consolidate all your questions into one message instead of this short hand stuff, it'll go a long way, and might prevent from someone undercutting the part from you because of communication delay.

Damn dude - I enjoyed your build a lot! Please re-think this.
I wish I lived closer because I would take a lot of the "heavy" stuff off your hands. At this moment:interested in Singular brake duct package, the ID injectors and the Trackspeed brakes as well as the V8R control arm kit. Since some of this is needed for the purpose of rolling the chassis, let me know if I can throw stock bits back at you first so you can remove yours and ship / as well just need some prices PM'ed back to me. Please.
Thanks.

I've been hem and hawing over this for over a year. There are some real life things that I need to pay attention to and I'm wrapped up in a 280z restoration. I think I've learned what I could on this project that I started so long ago, I feel trapped in this type of build because in the last 2 years there has been tons of development that would have altered the path I would have taken. A chance to start from scratch is refreshing and I've definitely enjoyed it. I've described it as this: Getting out of a bad relationship, bittersweet. There are a lot of good memories, but when it's no longer fun or everything feels like a chore, it's time to get out.

I went ahead and coupled the brake stuff together as one package. Fronts, rears, pads, rotors, and prop valve, and AP Racing Jhook rotors.
Price is up on the XIDA's but I'll likely want to try to sell these local first.
