Not my taste... but if it was built well, you got a pretty good deal. Detail the crap out of that thing and then repost some pics!

i think my opinion changed in about every picture lol goes from quality parts, to altezza tail lights, to work wheels to an unpainted engine bay. None the less good buy and fun project.

I think with the cost of doing the swap that was done it was worth the five grand but id pull that motor and paint the engine bay if you have another dd . Now get crackin and lets see it all cleaned up .

I noticed you said its a 92 silvia w/ a s14 conversion. I also saw this in a different thread. You know this is a S14 right? Sorry to be a wet blanket.

Yes, there is quite a bit of work to do to get that car looking good. But an S14 with RHD and RB26 swap already completed is well worth the price of admission. Especially in Canada, where 240 prices are supposed to do super redonkulous. Looks like Christmas came a little late for you!

i have a hard time believing this. the swap alone is worth more than that. and if the person before didnt do this, he paid a ton for it and i doubt he would let it go just for overheating. and you dont seem to know what it is anyway saying its a 92. i will go ahead and call BS

Even the website has it listed as a 92. If the title says its a 92 it might be stolen with a swapped vin. Does seem like a lot of car for the price, and a pathetic reason to sell it. Just a thought.

look at the fuse box in the engine bay.. clearly an s14 fuse box not an s13, they are completely diffrent.

Obviously its an s14. But if you stole an s14, painted it purple and used an s13 title and vin, it may be a little easier to sell. Red engine bay, cheap price, false title, its a possibility....

WOW.

Great deal.That thing doesn't look the best right now, but it sure has some GREAT parts.

The first thing I saw was the purple intercooler, than the Japanese headlights, then I got excited.

Then, ohhhh duh, it IS a japanese 14. nice.

Thats a good point, I didnt think of that. Around here its not uncommon to see a car being sold titled as something else, you just assume its stolen and walk away. Nice ride though. Id drive it, even if it is purple.

If it is indeed illegal, sell the stuff you don't want and put the rest in a shell. Wouldn't want to get caught red handed with something like that. Good Luck and great find and buy

That poor s14 looks like it's been beaten to a pulp. I bet there's alot more to it than what meets the eye. I foresee you putting into it at least what you paid for it. GL
