Ok folks I know I put her up for sale recently and then changed my mind but I'm 100% having to sell her up now so please don't spam this FOR SALE thread :)

For various reasons including the arrival of my Stagea tomorrow she HAS TO GO!!


Hi all,

It's with a very, very heavy heart that I'm one of those now writing up a genuine FOR SALE thread on my beloved S15 Spec-R :(

She was purchased from Torque GT back in May 2007 and I've been the owner since her initial registration in the UK. The car itself is a Year 2000 model from Japan - imported by Mike/Tristan (Torque GT) :)

Tax will be renewed for another 6 months at the end of October so will take it to end of April 2011. MOT is valid until May 2011.

Everyone who knows me and the car will know most of the serious tuning began around 18 months ago. I service her religiously around every 4k miles using Silkolene Pro-S 10W50 since doing all the servicing myself. In the first 18 months of ownership she was looked after by Chris Wilson who is a top mechanic mainly working on Supras and Skylines. He's well known on those forums for his expertise tuning/servicing Jap turbo cars etc :thumbs: The service booked has been stamped by Chris Wilson's garage and by myself since I started doing all the work myself.

Mileage is currently: 104k miles

Because she's been a daily car I've been on top of everything... and I really do mean everything. Again anyone who knows me and the car will understand she's done track/drift days but because I need her in tip-top condition 100% of the time, she is maintained and modified in this way! There are some cracks from the passenger side front arch where it meets the headlamp and also some cracks on both sideskirts. Light scuffs on the driver's door. All bodywork has been done by Innovation Bodyworx since I've had the car... they always do a fantastic job with the visual mods :cool:

Here's the fun part... the mods:

The K-Sport 330mm brake kit upgrade is the most recent mod and boy was it a good decision. She can now stop like anything and that's with K-Sport pads which come with the kit. If you were to upgrade to Ferodo DS2500's she'll stop... FULL STOP!!! :D

Here's my build thread on this forum: http://forum.s15oc.com/showthread.php?1858-LuPix-s-Track-amp-Drift-Project

Remap work was done by Steve @ FC Tuning... the man knows his stuff and has mapped a number of other S15's on this forum. He really does get the best out of the SR engine (and safe as well)!! She now runs at 292 bhp with bags of torque 327 ft lbs... comes in nice and early with stock turbo... you really have to sit in the car and feel the smoothness to appreciate how well she's running. I've inspected the turbo shaft myself twice within the last 12 months - still strong and evident when you drive her. Here's the thread about my remap: http://forum.s15oc.com/showthread.php?6655-Silvia-remapped-by-Steve-FC-Tuning...-POW

Believe me I really don't want to sell and if I had any other choice I'd avoid it but family comes first and it's time to just move on and put my life into perspective (a little lol)...

I know the next owner will get immense pleasure from this car... she's never let me down suddenly apart from a failed battery which I promptly fixed the next day! The gearbox is slightly noisy but it's been like this for well over a year :wack:

Any questions feel free to ask!!

*NEW LOWERED PRICE*

£8,000

Cheers,

James
