WTB: [ACT] V6 Astina parts

[whitev6]

Car just been put through road worthy and it needs a few bits to pass..

Hoping to find them here if you guys can help.

1) Rear Muffler in good nick--sourced

2) One or two rear brakes calipers (ABS) ..known good. or suit re-kitting if super cheap. ---sourced

3) Left hand side driving light...Still needed

4) Driver's seat belt..Sourced/ NA

Car has just come back from having new front struts and strut top mounts fitted. Alas there is still a knock in right hand front wheel..

So I'll be needing also:

5) Right lower control arm (maybe left too), either suited to re-bushing or in good/re-bushed condition

And...playing with the driver's window today revealed a common weakness, being the window regulator is kaput. (distressing clonking noise at bottom of winding)..

So if anyone has

6) a tame/fresh driver's window regulator set up.

Any help would be appreciated to keep the cost down , or any leads or recommendations of suppliers etc..

Thanks to Clean-cookie thus far ..

I have an aftermarket muffler in good condition and probably the seatbelt. I'm in Brisbane though.

rebuilding rear calipers on mazda's are expensive because of their fiddly internal hand brake. you may find that the caliper might be the same as another mazda of the same family or even extended family. i dont know which one as i never owned a BA. Have you tried going to the wreckers?

BA I4 and V6 rear calipers are the same

Good to know...

I here tell that 626/MX6 rears are the same too..

Just that one caliper had a very low test reading.. New discs and pads recently, so the mechanic is seeing if its maybe just a sticky caliper.. Or the corner needs a bit of a flush/bleed.

They tested each caliper! Yeah these are known to fail. Also the same as the mx5 and looks to be the same as bg. Of which I have two spares.

Regarding the lca and the knock It's more likely a tie rod end, swaybar endlink or lower ball joint, or worst case swaybar Bush. In which case you do nothing. Because getting to those bushes is a horrible 4 hour job in an I4, no idea the pain of a v6.

i have one from a I4 Hatch, pretty much the same except it has on outlet pipe instead of two and the flange is a little different

or i have a cannon

Thanks for the offer

Would prefer to keep twin pipes.. and now it looks like the original deal is back on the table..
