~Walbro 255
~SS oil feed line
~boost controller
~boost gauge

quick. someone talk some sense into me. or even better sell me a DD for the CHEAAP!

'90 240sx-$2000 obo

spy: what year make model and size is that bike of yours?

CHEAPER!!! like 200 bucks would be great.

$1800, you know you want it.

you know what. screw it. I'll walk everywhere if I have to. I dont wanna get rid of something that bring me such joy.

IF a mod would delete this that would be cool.

And so the inner turmoil begins....

Keep it! I do ALOT of walking. Probably 2 miles a day or more. My car has been sitting for 3 or 4 weeks now, but its OK cause I love it and walking is good for me.

ight. car is back up for sale. I can't afford her. included is new 17x8 borbet wheels, rc 550's.

car is ready for some serious numbers.

has transfercase leak that may or may not be fixed depending on how fast you wanna pick her up.

you know you don't want to sell it.
Just stop messing with it for a month or so, buy a cheapass Honda or something and drive it around. Saving up money isn't that hard if you quit driving and working on the DSM all the time. Thats what I did, and thats how I stayed happy.

if I had the money to buy something else I would. I can hardly scrape by as it is.

robbing peter to pay paul kinda thing.

buy it now with its own datalogger software and cable.

my asking price is pretty much the selling price. Ive got much more time and money interested in her. They wouldnt be starting off. hell the power department is damn near topped out.

over 1,000 views between here, cii, and dsmtrader. and not one offer.

Umm aren't you running a 16G there still? There's definately some room to grow in the power department there although it's a nice start to upping the power.

Unfortunately I think you're running into the problem that most car enthusiasts run into. It's VERY hard to get back anywhere near what you have in a project car.

One thought that might help a bit. Get a timeslip and then sell it on E-bay with proof of a xx.xx time car.

That or the next step to getting your money out of a modified car is normally to return it to stock, sell the upgrades off separately and then sell the now stock car at a cheaper price.

Just my $0.02

what I meant was is I could easily run a bigger turbo with the mods I have.


yeah. I know what ya mean but I'm not selling it for much more than what stock ones go for. and quite a bit less than what I have in it. I kinda picked a middle ground and went.

I thought maybe a timeslip would help also. they go for more around here than on e-bay tho.

I could return it to stock too. but that takes more work. and reverse work at that.

I feel your pain on the reverse work. Just trying to point out a route to maximize your sale is all. Another downside there is that you're pretty much committed to the sale then after you go down that road.

I think we're all hoping you give up on selling it and keep her actually.

YUP. My thoughts exactly.

LOL. I have to sell her. bills need paid. job doesnt pay enough for house and car.

intersted in translator if you part out.

I have to agree strongly with KOU on this one. The market for modified cars is a tough one. Deals abound with guys dumping cars just trying to get thier wives off their back. Heck, a few weeks ago I spotted a setup similar to yours going for $2500 on the trader!! Keep in mind also that I bought that car 6mos ago in stock form with a bad tranny for $1400...

You've built yourself a kick ass car there Mr. incredible... if you really have to get the money out of it, your best bet is going to be taking her back to stock and sellign the mods separate. Takes a little more time, but the money seems to roll in pretty steady and can help relieve the pressure of bills for the moment.

I've been in your shoes, definately a tough position. Good luck with the sale!

~2g throttle body elbow -30$

is that an upgrade on a 1G motor??? if so is the gain good, or minimal????

yes. It brings the intake out at a better angle. and its larger. If I remember correctly. I dont know what kinda gain there is except better air flow.

possable partial trade for parts i have for sale????

here's a link to the list: click here

hmmm. If I dont get any hits on the exhaust I'll trade ya the elbow for your stocker and 15 bucks.

my stock elbow or exhaust???

exhaust. I wouldnt need the elbow.

I would rather just give ya the $$$ outright than trade my full exhaust and $15 for the elbow, how about $25 out right for the elbow

sorry to insult but a stock exhaust can't be given away. hell I cut mine up cause no one wanted it.

Ill let ya know on that price. Its a nice piece check it out in my garage.

just checked it out and your right, it does look nice doesn't it.... how bout I just buy the elbow from you, I am sure that stock exhaust is orth nothin but a high flow cat is a good investment for a guy with OBD II and a muffler can be used by anyone.... I'll probably end up cutting it up myself and selling the pieces individually....

BTW: anyone else notice that no matter how many times I post my post number never goes over 580, sorry just the post whore coming out in me,.... weird

ill stop by and bring it with me tomorrow.

o and mine doesnt go about 448

BUY IT. I'm planning a trip down south this summer and should come back with something nice if she gets sold.

car needs to go.... all offers,trades, wishes considered.

whats all left?

Most importantly. THE CAR!!

Justin, I think your biggest problem isn't the car or the advertizing (I've seen your ads in the Trader and Tradin Post), it's your price...

Take a look around at the cars for sale on both this board, CII, and even the Trader... you've got Mark's car with all the mods that someone could pick up for $3200, A FWD with a built motor (worth $1500 even if you had to do the work yourself) and lots of mods for $4500 (or less), Adam's broken (but modded) AWD that just went for $2000 (or less knowing spy), not to mention the 92 VR4 that was posted on CII for $4000, or the multitude of cars on the Trader for $1500-3000 that are in similar condition with similar mods to your car.

My point is this... If you are really desperate to sell the car quickly, you're probably going to have to get a little more relistic with the price bud. If I was in the market for a DSM, honestly your's would probably be the last one I'd look at locally, just becasue of the price. You've got to keep in mind that when people like Spy posts a car for sale, he's usually willing to wait it out until he get's what he wants for it, mainly because he's got 4 more just like it sitting around.

Look, I'm not trying to be an a$$, I'm honestly trying to help you sell this thing. I loved that car, even for the short time that I had it. I really want to see it go to a good home. Sorry for the book, and Good Luck with the sale...
