That really does not answer my question, even a little bit, does it? Says a ton about you though.
Is it just me or does the paint not match on the front end? Im very interested, i love those wheels, they are super flush!!! How fast do you think it is 0 to 60?
I suggest you ask Topgunn himself.
My thought are he is going to tell you exactly what he thinks of you and your opinions!
Im guessing he is amazed that you are trying to sell a rust free shell for $4000.

Dude I am really sorry … I am way out of line.
I generally make it a point not to pick on people that are illiterate or have some sort of mental disability. I am sorry to hear that you are afflicted by such a life challenge and once again apologize. There are many fine establishments well equipped to help people with what ever your affliction is.
PS I so sorry that I use big words for you to have to read
Also: Thank you to the person that PM’d me to give me the back story on Red and Gunn
Do you think you could take 8500 with the front end colour matched?
What would you say it does 0 to 60? Do you think it can beat a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am?
No
5.2
Yes
i think that 8.5 is reasonable your not going to more than lets 9.5 tops for a rust free silvia … you can probably get a rhd for 3/4 of that price im mean look at my build in included everything that i did to the car up to now plus including a new paint job in summer and totalled up to 9.1 so just so you know that the sell is all about how much is this car worth to the other person, for example i wouldnt care that you engineered the shifter closer to you i have normal arms the shifter there is fine for me. Now if you had told me that you engineered a way to put an RB26 with the all wheel drive system in there i would give you 22k for the car … i swear im not trying to be arrogant at all im just telling is what these car are really worth to enthusiast ie US we did most of our work our self and if no one buys it here put it on the trader ive seen some silvias on there for around 9.5 to 10.5 and im sure someone that know shit all about car will buy cause he cant do it himself but on this site …is all about getting dirty, fix your whip, and drive it how is meant to be driven
No I am not selling the AWD car (it’s not done) this sale listing is for my 2WD SR 20 car I realize that I did specify 2wd so I can see how you would get confused.
Someone asked about the custom work done to the car so I listed a bunch of stuff. Way to read one sentence.
You know … When I told some people that I was going to list the car on this site they told me not to bother. They said almost everyone here is a bunch of whiners that sit around and nit picks every little thing. They told me that nobody here has any sort of vision or even a passing thought about the idea that all this complaining devalues their cars just as much thereby negating all the time and effort that they have put in. As a bonus it does give you something else to complain about “Boo-hoo, my car isn’t worth anything. Why oh why is that?” I guess that if no one here values their time that is their deal.
I realize that there are some decent guys (and gals?) here. To them I am sorry; if they feel grouped in with the others that was not my intent.
Don’t just come out of the closet … RHD out of the closet!
You think n-e-c-c is bad for people with no life, try beyond.ca
i was going to write something but not worth it
EDIT:
i have changed my mind about the shit that i just said in the origonal post…
lets just leave it at
leave the guy alone… thats his price, thats what he thinks its worth to him…
i know if i wanted to sell my car, it might be worth 6000, if im lucky… but my car feels like its worth twice that… cus its my baby
and im willing to bet that he feels the same way about his car
and damn, what did you do to lower your seat 2 inches!?!?!? im so sick of my head bouncing off the roof
and im curious about what you modded on the shifter? what exactly did you do to make it better?
ACPT Carbon drive shaft $1200
Nice driveshaft, you would have probably got more of a benefit from a bigger turbo…
Nice intercooler setup, more pics please??
3 pages of BS posts…wow…grow up people…its a car…and i bet everysingle person who posted in this thread isnt gonna buy it…hell im not even gonna buy it and im posting :axe: He can ask whatever he wants…its not your money…or your car…so let him be…if you ACTUALLY want it…why dont you negotiate with him in PM’s…seriously this is rediculous!
you spelt rediculous wrong. Gorgeous looking car. GL with sale. I too would like to know how you lowered the seat 2 inches.
it is a nice car, but yeah i agree price a little steep… when you modify a car this heavily usually you dont get even close to what you put in on re-sale.
bump for a nice ride
First … Thanks to everyone that has said something positive
Second … everyone needs to read the 3rd message in the Vehicles index … a couple of quotes:

I included the last one because I want to be clear that I do want to sell that car … and yes I know that my price is high. I also know that stuff that I did to my car is done better than many (maybe even most) cars out there. I do this sort of thing for a living and have access to tools and facilities the the average amaturer does not so I should be doing things that it is impractical for others to do.
I have intentionally listed the car high to:
- Not regret selling it too cheap.
2)Weed out the suckers.
I have a lower price in mind and if I don’t get that then I will put a cage in the car and run it in the GT race at the Champcar race this year.
I was going to build a one piece because … well, did you ever have one of those balsa wood airplanes with the rubberband windup propeller. The car drove like that. It is very hard to drive a car at the limit when the driveline is lagging behind all the time. In the end I decided to save the $ on steel driveshaft when I knew that I wanted a carbon.
I don’t have anymore pictures at the moment … the car is trapped in storage behind 20 customer cars … good news is that spring is here so many of those will be picked up soon.
Thanks,
I had to remove the bump in the floor to clearthe converter and fab a new cross piece for where the front of the seat bolts to the car. I also had to build a new pedestal for the outside rear corner to lower that. The inner just had lengthened as it bolts to the side of the tunnel. That makes up about half (more at the front then the back) the Sparcos accounted for some, and the custom mounts make up a bit more (compared to the Sparco boltins as they have to clear the afformentioned converter bump)
I am (when I can get the car out) going to mount some stock seats (I will have to modify the factory seat slides so that they will mount to the modified floor pan. So we will see but I am guessing it will then be more like an inch and a quarter.
DUDE! I am too well aware of this. I have “spent” 5 figures for 2 years of enjoyment of a car too many times to count … Fair to say that my house would be paid for … but no regrets. I never expect to get the $ back at the end.
