You need an account easy though £45 and 2 forms of id....but a salvage yard so viewing essential. so bargains to be had but also could catch a cold very easily! my fd ended up in there boo hoo and i got outbid trying to buy it back...all the mods i done where still on it! Had a few outta of the westbury yard over the years but none recent.

Thats the issue, says its just front damage but no other details ...thing is if i won it knowing it needed a hammer to the bonnet and a new bumper then i could get my friend with his trailer and get it no problems

viewing it though bit more of a potentially wasted mission.

also not only that any bids you put in now are most likely at a disadvantage as it goes through a live auction at a house somewhere so who knows what this will end up selling for!!

Mine went for 1700 running but a minor bang to front apexi coilovers 18s etc...but 2 years ago and prices seem to have risen....worth a few quid in bits. It dont run so poss eng failure. If interested really.need to  view so you know what your bidding on.

No key isnt an issue, replacement lock sets are around £50 used. 10 minutes to remove ignition barrel and problem solved

As i thought, had a similar issue with a gleneagles mx5 however that had a transponder key so that was a new lock set and ECU etc ..was a right faff, thought the FD3s might of been the same.



also

is it me or has the price gone up from £175 to £475 ..but no one has bidded on it yet .

getting a key should be easier than that...most jap cars have a number on the drivers barrel that you can make a key off so no need to change lock set...ignition barrel is not that easy to get off if you are a novice, as it uses sheer bolts so you have to chisel the bolts off.. im guesstimating it goes for 1200 to 1400 plus add fees when it finishes...

Its probably missing key as the engine is knackered so owner has kept it back, it has a reserve on it so no guarantee you will get it even if you win it...
