I'm looking for a s14a but they seem to vary so much in prices now I'm after one that hasnt been messed about with too much so standard or stage one id be happy with however what would be looking to pay for one in decent condition mileage dosent worry me too much as long as it has a good service history
Cheers

My honest advice would be, if you intend to treasure it, get as standard and clean as you can and pay the £7k-£8k that would command. The days of quality modifications seem to have died and the amount of shite parts and pikey workmanship makes the market a minefield.
Gone are the days of buying stage 3 cars and expecting them to last.
Agree with this tbh. I’d go for chassis and body condition over modifications on these cars now if you’re planning on keeping it.Quote:

The plan would be to keep it long term but I would be looking to do my own decent modifications to it , I was looking at importing one as not much seems to come up for sale in the uk at the moment well certainly not ones that I'd be looking at anyway , the main thing is finding one that's rust free or has minimal rust that also hasn't been drifted or has trashy modifications on it , so really I need to budget at least 10k to find myself something decent , ive emailed torque gt to see what prices roughly are for s14a landed , I'll still look around for decent uk models but looks like I'll more than likely have to take the route of personal import , I just need to see what the differences to uk spec and imports are, my brother had a s14a touring running stage 2a many years ago and I must say it was brilliant fun for a fast road set up surprisingly quick !
JDM Garage and JM Imports are super good at importing.

Don't know if it's still available, but this looks nice
Not going to find much better than that!Quote:

I would be surprised if there were only 175 manual versions - perhaps S14a in red?? and I'm sure someone will come along with more accurate numbers if not...Quote:

Non touring but low mileage (15k miles !!) and standard save for the odd bumper sticker... Advertised 10k but surely offerable with the faults....
10k and you get shit paint, a rev counter with a mind of it's own, and no underside pics :wack:
s14 prices are ridiculous in all honesty, I'd love another but **** paying 6k+ for a standard uk spec one on over 100k which people seem to think they're worth (same cars that are for sale month after month) I've owned standard sbodies, they're ****
