Parts pulled off an 05 Mazdaspeed Miata head of unknown miles. I am using the head as a core on a rebuild, so all of the extra fancy stuff can go.
Red powdercoated valve cover with "Turbo" on it.
In good condition, only a couple scrapes.
$110 shipped OBO

BP5A Intake cam
Good condition, some wear on the cam lobes, but the bearing surfaces are smooth. I found a casting defect on one of the bearing surfaces, but there's no strange wear around it or on the journals (and the motor must have gone over 100k miles with it), so I wouldn't hesitate to run it.
$SOLD

This may be a terribly stupid question, but what years will the VC fit? THe m.n compatability guide doesn't list vc.
EDIT: Nvm found a CR thread. Apparently need to switch to COPS.. :-\

Yes, sorry for not explaining well enough. It will not fit on an 01+ engine with VVT. It will fit on a 94-00 1.8L, but it does not have the mounting bosses for the coilpack on the back of the valve cover. The bores are also a slightly different size. If you have CoP or are willing to find another place to mount the OEM coilpack it should work. I also have the two CoP's that came with this head and would be happy to include them for $20.
