400hp? Kinda doubt that but whatever. Also, looks like a kid put together the interior. And the rear bumper isn't painted. But hey, its got potential.

Graphics are hardcore rice, but other than that its not bad.

True, you know that engine has probably been through alot. A young guy with a turbo car is gonna do those kinda things, why would you put a S15 motor in there if you weren't going to use it?

No, the stripes are no good. You should paint a rippling checkered flag down each side that dissolves into flames on the rear quarter panel with lavender Krylon. LOL it would go well with the interior. But seriously, JDM in a US car is ricey (unless you just like the SR20...me, I'm sticking with the big one or switching to a bigger one. No way in hell am I paying a premium for a smaller engine. That's just personal preference though). Of course, those seats might have better grip than stock, but the Silvia logo probably commanded top dollar, and IT'S NOT A SILVIA.

Car has never been boosted over 11psi, yet claims 400hp? I doubt that dude even knows what 400hp feels like...

Its rice because it was done by someone that doesnt give a sh*t. You can tell by the "craftsmanship".

Yeah, look at what he used for the upper radiator hoses. In that last pic posted, it's all cracking apart. That's only mentioning 1 problem i see with that. If you can do your radiator hoses so ghetto, i can imagine he slacked more on more difficult things.

Yeah, kinda. remind me, one of the "senior" projects at my college here was this dude put a zex kit and a turbo in his civic. He was touting the gas millage too, it looked really similar to the inside of this guys car.

Agreed. Wouldn't touch that car for anywhere near that price. Who knows that guy did to the car? Someone's gonna inherit a lot of problems, while someone else will end up 10-15K wealthier.

The carbon fiber golf ball shift knob and boost gauge clipped to the air vents are both nice touches. It looks like the boost gauge wires are wrapped in electrical tape with a random wire kind of hanging out the bottom.

All in all, I'd rate it slightly below "craptastic" at that price.

I think it's a real boost gauge. The installation is just well, crappy.

You could make your decision based on the neighborhood it is parked in.

Not just because it is in a trailer park, (it is a rather upscale park, IMO) but he took the pictures of it right in front of a bunch of trash cans. Not the best background for the picture of a car you're trying to sell for over 10k.

I can't complain on that, I am not much better. I often need to write notes, take picutres, draw, etc to make sure I am doing everything straight. In speaking of pictures, I took 24 pics of the 240SX today. I should have them developed soon.

You guys are harsh. I like the stripes as long as he doesn't add bling bling wheels or any other single piece of rice. Then again, I usually tend to tolerate more when there's something decent under the hood to back it up.
