Hi ryan,

Yeah I looked when you put your stag up for sale and had a squiz at price and mods ect.... Its a well modded car but the mods dont hold value much at all. What you would be asking is more if it was completely stock and then body condition. Seeing as its not leather ect id be re considering to. For sure if someone is after a modded car and knows about what parts are good ect sure they will snap yours up.

my 2c

yeah, i reported my own forsale thread with a copy and paste to see if it can be modified, i am going to put it up for 14k, then if someone offers me around 13 or whatever then i will talk to them about it.

$13k is criminal for a well sorted S1 such as yours. Sheeit, they just don't hold any value do they?

You might get some more bites from the leadfoot crowd if you also post a power-output.

But my recommendation is; don't sell it - keep it until it wears out!

if it doesnt sell and i get a loan for this other car, and i can manage the repayments with the higher rent for 16months(til my wage doubles), then i will keep it :(

a stocky is 10ish, add timinig kit and mods.... someone is about to get a f**king bargain, spread the word, I have a beautiful bottle of red that i might offer as a finders fee, from a local vineyard, was there best ever... i only have three bottles stashed :) and is prob more pleasing than a cash finders fee(which is also on offer)

unless it sells on here, the mods are worthless and will probably bring it's value down (people assume its been hooned/thrashed and will walk off).

Best thing to do is put stock stuff back on and sell the good bits on here. plenty of people would love to get their hands on the bilstein setup now they are not readily available

ryan,

Was only thinking after I got off computer to do what duncon said.

Pull the parts off and return it to stock. Sell your aftermarket bits and pieces.

Best option IMO to get a. the most of your money back as possible, b. a quick sale as you can drop asking price :(

I have all stock bits except for the shocks... i refuse to put it on carsales, i couldnt bare for it not to go to an enthusiast, its on here and NS(gulp).

MIGHT go on carsales if i get desperate tho... i think that is how AlexCim's sold. I could put it back to standard except for the shocks, but I really dont want to seperate what i fell is an awesome package

yeah whack it on carsales. thats how I sold mine and I sold mine for 14k with a few mods, suspension, safcII, EBC... the best stereo I've ever had, and that was when the market was giving 8-10k for stock

You're never going to get a quick sale with them, as people don't even know they exist.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
