the reason for that is the super taikyu cars run exclusively on racing circuits. the circuits themselves have lots of safety features (even surface, run off, sand traps, angled barriers etc). so taking all that into consideration they don't cage up any more than is neccesary as weight is obviously crucial to their lap times (fairly modest power). on the other hand marlins R34 is a tarmac rally car. driving on public roads where there are hazards like trees, cliffs, un-even road surface, no run off high potential for roll over or heavy side impact. so they can afford to sacrifice some weight to get better occupant safety.

All 4 guys each with considerable race car experience have warned you not to pay too much. I guess that's all we can do.

yeah I just looked at it again, it's already gotten way too expensive imo.

And like you said, if I was to "have a big one", I'd be needing all those things like bumpers, brackets, etc etc, so'd better better served buying a whole or near complete car.

I'm confused. You know the owner already I thought? I mean isn't that his 'purple destroyer' GTR in your avatar?

furious, are you selling the car or acting on the owner's behalf? You have posted a lot about how good it is like you were trying to push up the auction price. If you are a buyer I would have thought you would just bid quietly after the first few comments?

What are you intending to do with it? Have you built a car before?

hmm :thumbsdown: why play with ebay if you are not willing to accept what the market thinks?

As I'm sure you know perfectly russ, the amount you spend on a race car, and what it is worth, have nothing to do with each other :domokun:

Hey thats sad, happens alot on ebay though....almost as annoying as those expressions of interest threads, I mean if you want to sell....put a friggin price on the item, just after a market valuation? do a search or go to a car yard, aint hard.
