Seems like our cars are $h!tpool for $h!t Chinese HID and LED kits and $h!ttier intercooler \ turbo kits. No longer is searching for BF parts on eBay "fun" and there is no easy way to filter the $h!t parts either in a search...

Frustrating Searching For BF Parts On Ebay!

I never found it that fun in the first place. I just pumped myself full of pride believing that I (we) had to work harder finding stuff that worked. Therefore, we tend to be more creative, resourceful and appreciative of what it takes to make our cars better than stock and better than other cars. It's not like a Honda where you used to have ten different manufacturers of after-market parts to choose from for the same part and all you had to do was cough up the money. I mostly go shopping at the junkyard for parts (okay, I'm a cheap bastard, too).
Yes, it can be frustrating, but don't let it get you down! Get creative (and start drinking heavily....). j/k
Actually, this is what I loved about the mazda323performance.com website. There was a ton of info on what parts we used from other cars. All that experimentation and trial and error.... gone.

you could probably hunt around over seas. Japan and here in New Zealand have a good stockpile of parts.
www.amazd.co.nz/forum (i hope i didnt break a rule doing that) some members have shipped items over seas.
granted bumpers engines and boxes etc will be to expensive to ship but most other things shouldnt be to bad.Current Black 1992 GTR restoration project

I know what you mean, it's quite discouraging at times. I just got some strut tower bars supposed to be for a BF, they're BG bars. Gotta be careful what you get for sure. I'm thinking of selling my GT, but I'm reserved about it, as I might need unobtainable parts for the GTX one day.sigpic
