GOODIES!!!

As many of you know, I give away Hot Wheels cars with every order. And I always collect a bunch of the REALLY good ones to send out every Sharksgiving. These are the hard to find cars. The ones that go for $5-20 each on ebay and such. The collector cars.

I have over 500 to give away this year. And about 200 of those are Miatas that I’ve hoarded, traded for, or bought on ebay.

The first Sharksgiving orders will be packed with Miata Hot Wheels. I have ND and NA in the various colors. I’ve got a few Matchbox Miatas as well. And I’ve also got tons of hard to find cars to give away once the Miatas run out.

and...

an RX-8.

Yes, an RX-8. I’m asking $900 for it OBO. You’ll need a trailer.

I bought this beauty last summer in non-running condition. I was really hoping that the fix would be easy, so I tried all the tricks. The car has a new ignition system, new starter, new battery, and a few other small bits, but it doesn’t run. This RX-8 needs a new motor.

But that’s it. This car is a beauty. No damage, no rust, and a perfect interior. 6 speed manual. 9k redline… you know, once it has a working Renesis engine installed.

It’s a 2004 with a clean title and about 100k miles (if I remember right). Located in Albuquerque NM. Again, you’ll need a trailer. $900 OBO.

Email adam at revlimiter dot net to claim your RX-8.

This car is offered ONLY on my blog and on MR.net.

Planning on being at the event rain or shine. However, the Miata needs a new APP (gas Pedal) which is on order. The problem remains delivery date of the pedal because of the GM strike. I am on the priority list because the engine VIN list the engine as 2007 Corvette. Most recent upgrade has been an install of electric power steering. DIY and LQK method along with epower steering cost less than $300. It really makes a depowered rack much better.

Are you sure it’s not the throttle position sensor?

The only thing the GM strike should affect is the new, C8 Corvette and other 2020 GM models. Used parts should be in stock since the C6 has been produced since 2005. Have you tried Eckler’s or Cultrag?

Man, I wish you made these for Vettes. The C6 has such borrrrrrring, plain gauge faces. There are some stick on faces but they’re just a color change, nothing exciting.

It's a bit more complicated than that, but... close.

I'd need a cluster to keep. Usually an ebay cluster works well. And then I'd need to receive it and evaluate it for gauge replacement. Some clusters just fall apart when you take them apart or have gauge faces that can't be changed due to their shape.

Take the RX8 for example. I bought the car because it was inexpensive and had a pretty cool looking cluster. I thought it would be fun to make gauges for. But the tach face is a 3D shape that cannot be altered or swapped with a flat gauge. The tach face HAS to be exactly the same 3 dimensional shape. And that's not in my capacity right now.

I did gauges for the Honda Beat, but that cluster fell apart when I tried to remove the gauges. It was horribly rusty and the plastic was extremely brittle. Not a good candidate to have gauges made for. But the customer really wanted them so I did a single set.

The Mazda MX3 gauges cannot have their needles removed without destroying each individual gauge. When the needle comes out the gauge falls apart. I also made gauges for that car... and the customer could never get them installed and have a working gauge at the end.

The second free random Sharksgiving gauge winner is Nam with his set of Starship NB gauges. Congratulations Nam! Your $99 gauge payment was just refunded.

Side note - this gauge set was my tribute to the late Dewa-san who's beautiful gauge artwork inspired me to start doing this.

Who will win the next free gauge drawing? Buy a set to get in the running. I'll refund one of today's purchases tomorrow morning.

That’s pretty cool. I know how tight budgets get in the holiday shopping season so this is like an early Christmas present that frees up monies for other things.

Happy Black Friday!!!

Today's random refund will be both for gauges and horn buttons. 4 winners total!

As before, all you have to do is buy a horn button or gauge TODAY. I'll tally up Today's Orders (yes, today, Black Friday) tomorrow morning (Saturday) and feed them into random.org. The winners chosen will be refunded their gauge or horn button money. You'll only pay shipping and whatever else was in the order.

Good luck and Happy Sharksgiving!!!
