The only good thing about it as a first car is that it's only a DE....

With all that money spent in it why didn't they give it some tint??

Don't get a loan for a first car, it's highly likely that you will crash it, and if you couldn't afford the full comp you just lost yourself a car, if you did get full comp then you would have a shitload of excess to pay. It's not like you could mod it much either... as most things are already done (apart from turbo, which IMO you shouldn't do till you're off your P's anyway).

If you just want to be 'fUlLy SiK' than go for it...

probably didnt get tint so that people can see inside and see the retrim/dash spray shit.

its over the top but different :( somehow doesnt look too bad all curvey on a silvia, which is an acheivement.,.,

full comp is handy especially on that car, coz ull get some arsehole keying it, or trying to steal the wheels, or some person at uni/shops etc will open the door onto your car and ull be getting shit fixed all the time to keep the paint perfect, and with different pearls in it it'll be expensive full panel spray every time and probably still never match up ;)

best to get a shitty sort of one for now and just use any extra money you may save to buy some coilovers, exhaust, and lsd to begin with and learn to drive it and then step up to a turbo one .

but again that car there would be no fun even as a turbo its more of a 'bring out on weekends and for shows and dont leave it unattended' sort of show car than a real drivers car :P

bit gay to do all that to a non turbo in the first place though ive gotta say .. youd think he wouldve wanted turbo if only for the bov to go 'ptshhh' ;)

Heh heh.

That thing is disgusintg.. makes me wanna puke.. sorry.

If you're getting an auto get a shitbox to learn to drive. Don't bother getting cars that aren't meant for auto cos you're only spending the extra money for no reason.

Almost everyone dings their first car so just get a crappy gemini or corolla and it will cost you little and get you from a - b .. if you stack it into a pole in the car park you won't cry. Then save up to get a better car.

My 2c.

I think its arguably the most disgusting Silvia I have ever seen. Having said that, you obviously like the looks, and that's what matters.

As a first car though, I think its a mistake. Its obviously an attention getter, and is just asking for someone to either steal it, break into it, key it, or otherwise damage it. You will need comprehensive insurance, and I would think it might be difficult to insure with all the custom work.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
