Crazy Canuck with another JDM car
 
so, bought my car for cheap because it had the famous early white paint that i was washing off with the pressure washer. it also was missing some dash pieces. I bought new dash pieces to replace the broken ones to find out that... the stupid gauge hood is a teency bit of a different shape and the clip is like 3 mm in the other direction of where it should be.
now... does anyone know where to get factory japanese/euro parts? even if i have to ship them (probably my only option)

Yahoo Japan auctions is a great place, or there are a few vendors that can get them. The shipping is gonna give you sticker shock though.

lots of junkyards. no miatas. and especially nothing right hand drive. there is only a handful in canada. not a very popular car. but sure worth alot. they go for anywhere upwards of $6000 for an na. :D good resale for me

That's everywhere. People sell 1990 NA's with 90k on them for $6k here too. They think since it's a "sports car" it's worth 80% markup. :eek:

I'm sometimes a dick and reply to sales ads that their price is ridiculous and point out why.
