Is it just me or parts

gofast63 · Dec 7, 2014

Are just getting really hard to find?

d1prospect · Dec 7, 2014

Yes/no depends soley on what your looking.

gofast63 · Dec 7, 2014

Mechanical parts are normally what I look for. There's nothing much on criagslist for 1g parts. It's just starting to suck how you have to order online and wait for the mail to come.

You try "Stangmurdera" on tuners

Probably because the newest 1G is almost 21 years old.

It just really sucks. I'm thinking of getting out of the dsm world. And I'm going to try to find a hot rod that has parts more available for it. Can't believe I had this car for six years already.

The only reason why dsm enthusiast still exist is because every time one surrenders, those parts get harvested to maintain the life of those who wont quit. Making DSM MASTERS!

Parts for these cars are EASY to find. You just have to pay a reasonable price for them. We have excellent aftermarket support. Try owning some other cars that you can't order anything for.

I just really miss the sound of a v8. I'm missing my Camaro with my 400 big block. It had insane torque.[DOUBLEPOST=1418005376][/DOUBLEPOST]

Of course you can order parts. But 98% of time your local store isn't going to have anything in stock.[DOUBLEPOST=1418005442][/DOUBLEPOST]

I agree.

QFT.

If you can't find 4G63 parts on Craigslist, you're living in a cave somewhere.

The bonus to waiting for parts is that you can shop around instead of setting whatever the part store has in-stock. I usually have a decent amount of OE seals that I grab whenever making orders at Extremepsi. I have also amassed a collection of parts I know are hard to find for when I need them. Having an extra DSM or two also is helpful.

I agree. I'm loaded with spare seals and electrical components.

Or on an island in the middle of the Pacific. It's still not that hard to get parts, though. The local NAPA store can still usually get any maintenance items I need by the next day if they aren't in stock. Anything else I need is easy to find online. I do get killed on shipping, though.

^ This guy knows about hard to get parts...With that sexy ass FF valve cover.

I've always liked your engine bay. You have a great build all around, man. Nicely done.

92AWDHX40 · Dec 8, 2014

even for my old car I always have resources or back up parts just in case two of just about everything, I have a great source of friends to find things all over the united states, and especially with vendors.

Chumpaumpalumpa · Dec 8, 2014

There's a place by me called one-stop and they deliver and have all parts no matter how obscure and if its not in stock then they'll get it in within a couple hours and boom you have it same day. of course all that stuff is re-man but its EXCELLENT quality.

VEIVIOI · Dec 14, 2014

It depends on what you are looking for, but keep in mind that the 2Gs turn 20 years old next year. Parts are bound to get tougher to find the older a vehicle gets.

95_gst_turbo · Dec 16, 2014

Other than this site or ebay, I find it alittle tough. Parts are expensive or maybe im just cheap if I go to a auto part store.

Recently I needed a radiator and a starter and it was cheaper to purchase a parts car.

Most junkyard that are local or withing 100 miles don't even have any of these cars and if they do, the used parts are more then the new parts at the auto parts store.

You can buy aftermarket aluminum radiators for $100 shipped, and autozone has starters for less than that.

I love it when people want to move on from dsm's. They then find out how much "real" car parts cost. Dsm's are the most inexpensive performance car to own and mod, period. Try getting into any other awd turbo coupe with pocket change.

95_gst_turbo · Dec 18, 2014

Considering I paid $300 for a entire car and made more than my money back and still got my parts. It was my best option.

There are many cars that are more exspensive price wise ( Parts ) but then again were getting into newer vehicle and you gotta pay to pay.

I just got lucky on my find

Yes, but you replaced a 19 year old radiator with another 19 year old radiator. Junkyards, and parts cars aren't the way to fix a car. They are a way to collect cores for rebuilding, and a source for body, and interior parts.

95_gst_turbo · Dec 20, 2014

You just assume it was a stock radiator. I replaced it with a mishimoto radiator. The cheapest I found this for was $300. Anyways im not here to argue, I just stated parts aren't as easy to come by as they were 3-4 years ago .

try owning a mk2 supra then tell me parts aren't around!
I can't even get basic maintenance things from the dealer anymore let alone stuff like alternators or trim pieces, and absolutely no after market support 10 years ago not a problem now there's no mk2's left in my area, and those of us left fight over parts...litterly.
Everything I get has to either come come states side or Japan...or is not possible to get.
Talon's are far far more common then you think yet, another ten years then I'd start to worry.
