I'm looking to buy a WRC swapped 6th Gen. I have cash in hand and I'm willing to travel to pick the car up. This is a serious WTB thread, I don't get on here much at all anymore so please if you are looking to sell yours, or know someone selling please contact me.

Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated, thanks for viewing.

Have you read through the last few pages of the for sale section, there have been a couple of 3rd gen 3SGTE swaps up for sale at quite reasonable prices?

Also, general forum etiquette is to wait a reasonable period (often 7 days) between bumps smile.gif

Hmmm.... most swaps skip the AC (That I have seen) so you might want to investigate installing yourself if you are a little handy and need it.

In the 4 years I've been on this forum, most swaps I've seen have ac and ps.

I have a budget, I don't want a $4,000 project. I want a $8,000+ finished GT4 stateside replica.

Okay, that budget changes things a lot tongue.gif

If I had the funds, I'd buy it for sure.

^ Coming from a 6gc, the only downside of that is a massively less attractive interior. I actually like flip-up headlights, so I wouldn't mind looking past them instead of the interior while I slide the thing around a corner. That's one of my favorite charms of the Miata, such a joy to see the headlights shifting over the horizon.

I looked at a restored one with 82k original miles. They don't appeal to me. I'd hate to ruin collectors car by daily driving it. Part of the reason why I sold the R1 FD I had with 43k miles.

I'd hardly consider them a collector's car, unless it's the Carlos Sainz edition. There's also the 4th gen All-Trac, I want to say they had a lever for the transfer case to take it from 4WD to FWD. So that's pretty nifty. In order to legally have a 6th gen GT-Four you'll have to find someone that transplanted everything into a USDM GT, that or wait long enough so that you can import one. That or if you just want the looks, and don't care if it's AWD or not that's easily doable. You could even go as far as to get a GT-Four front clip and transfer everything to a GT, you'd have everything but the AWD.

I know your being helpful lol. I had a GT before I know what's all required to do that swap. I just want to buy a 3rd Gen swapped GT with a st205 front. Maybe with wheels and coils already with the gt4 wing blocks. I want a replica not the real thing.

Ahh ok. Well when I think replica, I think 100% carbon copy. Being you just want a GT with the 3S-GTE and ST205 body parts you shouldn't have that much trouble at all then. I remember seeing one on eBay some time ago, don't think it sold though. Haven't seen it listed again, so who knows. I want to say someone sold their swap on here for around $4,000 or so not too terribly long ago, it still needed some finishing work I think. Being you have a $8,000 budget might look into finding a shop to do the engine swap for you. Finding a GT with a good body and blown engine for around $1,000 shouldn't be too terribly hard. Then you have about $3,000 in a front clip, then whatever the cost of the swap and body work you can't do yourself. Odds are that'd be faster than waiting around for someone to sell one they've swapped.

I could do that, but i dint want to have to find a chassis, have it shipped or trailered to the shop (only shop I know of is ats or Dr tweaks which is 6 hours away) then wait 2-3 months, then have the body work done etc.

I would much rather buy a completed clean swapped GT. A car that someone has finished, and decided to move on from.

I foresee you waiting much longer than that waiting for someone to sell their swap that isn't a hack job. If it's a car you're planning on keeping it's worth doing yourself. Then you can make it exactly how you want it, and not have to settle. That's just my view on it anyhow. Trust me I know how you feel, I'd love to swap mine but it's too much trouble. So I've decided to just buy another car that better suits my needs and wants. I wouldn't know, but you might be able to arrange something with Dr. Tweak to find a donor car local to his shop so you don't have to ship a car to him. Once it's mechanically sound you can do the body work locally. Really I just wouldn't trust anyone selling their swap, unless they had paperwork proving it was done by a reputable shop. Even then you know they dogged the Hell out of it, otherwise they'd been happy with the 5S lump.

Look I get what your saying. I have a RB swapped Silvia that I did everything myself to, from the engine build to the suspension. I don't want to swap motors, wiring, etc again. I had a TT FD, and a few other toy cars. I just want exactly what the title says and I don't mind waiting. If nothing comes up the nothing comes up. Not a big deal.

It kinda seems like you think I'm a lost new kid on the block.

That's all fine and dandy then. I was just addressing the issue from all angles, initially it sounded like you wanted one as your next car and weren't considering anything else. Anyhow, good luck on your quest.

Heh heh, New Kids on the Block. Why do I even remember that...

Never dd anything swapped and especially. Boosted. Learned that the hard way when I was 18. I daily a is350 now. I want a 6th gen since it was my first car and favorite car.

If someone wanted to trade there's for my Silvia coupe with a rb25/gt30 I might consider it depending on what there 6th gen looks like and. Condition.
