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 drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
