Cars you regret selling.


Recommended Posts

RX4 coupe buzz box. Ported 13B, sweet sweet sound winding up to 9k frequently. Loved that thing. Sadly, very impractical and hard to find a decent one that hasn't been converted to V8 or absolutely destroyed. Unfortunately i dont have any pics handy as i owned it pre digital camera days.

Looking at your number plates on the wall, I used to have a mate with CDUCTV in NSW. 

I just googled him, brought back some memories.

In an effort to stay on topic, I'm not sure if he regrets selling it.

regret selling my 1995 ae101 apex levin.. only a 4 cyl but quad throttle bodies at 9000rpm sounded sweet.. blew the motor.. sold it off.. bought a 33 gtst.. wish i had just bought a new motor instead.... handled like it was on rails.

This story sounds very similar to a lot of other people here... :1_grinning:

What has surprised me most is how often people with GTRs are approached with straight up cash offers. I've never experienced anything like it before. 

Experienced this a lot with the 200 when it was a stocker. I can remember at least 2 occaisions when notes have been left on the car asking if i want to sell it in addition to always getting hassled at traffic lights about selling it.

 

The gtr doesnt get out that much these days haha

happens to me with my 200, its 99% stock and is waxed more often than driven.

my first N15 SSS. I miss the N13, but probably not worth the effort.

The N15 was in decent condition, mechanically great, didnt have any of the typical issues that others did. Engine was refurbished after it was semi-lunched by the previous owner when I bought it. I bought another N15 with heaps of mods, and while it came with some nice goodies, in hindsight I should have just kept the first one and gone all-out with it instead :(

I too had an N13 pulsar, I treated that car like shit. Poor thing it deserved a better owner. I discover that flat shifting at the redline gave you "extra" revs and made the car faster... for a while and than the bottom end bearings were toast. Rebuilt the engine. Ruined the rest of the car with my idiotic driving after that (never crashed it though, that's why I thought I was Schumacher). smh

It was one just like this;

Oh yes lets go there ! ! ! 

Old school ! : -

1966 HR Holden Premier 186S that was factory fitted with the opal four speed gearbox ( these were supposed to run at Bathurst in the day but the gearboxes didn't make it off the boat in time )

Alfa Romeo 1968 Gulia Sprint GT AM - this was a very rare supercharged model that was fitted out in Europe with all the race fruit for the time.

1948 Ford Anglia Coupe - this one was a light weight racing model and had a hand built all aluminum body.

And now I must got and punch myself in the head yet again for selling them ! ! !
