Parts crossreference list

[Mux213]

Hey Guys,

I was wondering, is there already, or could we start making a parts cross reference list?

The DeLorean club has done this for the DeLorean because alot of parts for the DeLorean have been used in other cars aswell just with a different label and since there aren't any supliers anymore we need to know what are direct swaps and what can be swapped in with few modifications.

Lets say I need a new altenator, I now know I can get it from this and this renault, or this and this volvo. Very handy when strolling around a junkyard.

Now when you look at japanese cars this very often applies aswell as many car manufacturers get things like altenators from the same source companies.

Also near direct fits are pretty cool to have a list for aswell. I know that I can fit a radiator with electric fan from a late 80s model Mazda 626 in my RX7. Knowing the premium prices for RX7 radiators..... Also upgrades are known, I can put an FD altenator in an FC without problems, while the FC altenator just about gives enough power the FD one has power to spare.

I wouldn't mind knowing which other cars I can source altenators, radiators, starter motors, water pumps, axles, differentials, driveshafts, calipers, etc. from, possibly at a fraction of the price for original AE86 parts.

So what do you guys think? It would be easy to get some sort of system online where we can create a cross reference list....
