    UPDATE - 13/1/08 - OK, price reduced to £7500 ovno NOW WITH R££ GTR WHEELS IN WHITE....

    Yes, its for sale. Been thinking about it for a couple of months now. Not really feeling it and tbh I think that someone who is more enthusiastic can get more out of it than I am/have lately.
    In the long run Ill get something to keep my hand in, but for now, I want the S14 to go. Im also not plannign on entering any more competitions. I dont feel it worth my while as I dont do street and therefore dont/wont/havent imporoved as much as those that do/have in the past.

    Price is £8995 ono. Part Ex possible.

    I havent attempted to go into the realms of tuning it anymore, even tho I had a plan to - simply cos I know what I'd see as my ideal spec may not be someone elses.

    There are a few little jobs that need doin on it which would be completed before the sale. These are basics really. Clearing/scrubbing/Cleaning/Undersealing of mid section (front and rear have been done).
    Cleanign off of remains of the sound deadening in the front foot wells and painting to match the rear. And then finally touch up the rear section.
    The oils (engine, box, diff) will also be replaced before it goes. I can also have it aligned to any spec you wish by my local 4 Wheel centre.

    I have lots of spares etc and some unfitted parts too, but this sale post is purely for the car as it stands (including the TE37s with the 'new' rubber)

    Pics (Ill post some more up close pics up when I get a chance - currently cant view my photobucket scct as Im at work :wack: ))

    I'm shocked mate. This was one of the first cars that inspired me to get a 14 at Rotorstock last year.

    Nice car. Good luck with the sale, shame you're selling though.

    :eek: Thats a post DW blast from the past!!!!!!!!! :D

    Hope you are going to use the money to buy something gnarly, as opposed to emigrating to the other side of the world, having surgery to make yourself look like a female chimpanzee, renaming yourself gloria and whoring yourself out at some dodgy street market...

    Hmmm, I hadnt actually considered a name change.... Maybe Ill add it to the list LOL :D:D:D

    Nah, in all seriousness, Id like an S13 Silvia with a few toys on it (kit, diff, susp) so that I can have a play as and when I want. The refresher is great on track, but a bit too hard core for just taking out for a blast! :wack:
    I dont 'need' to sell. Its my choice. Like I say, it seems a waste as I dont intend to do any more comps. Id rather do the 'DWYB style days that are cropping up more and more. Theyre cheaper, more fun, less pressure and more convenient with my work (I am rostered weekends so the comps suck up annual leave which pisses me off!!!)
