The Refresher

[Matt_S]

Deposit taken. Its going to Switzerland!!!

Yes, its for sale. Been thinking about it for a couple of months now. Not really feeling it and tbh I think that someone who is more enthusiastic can get more out of it than I am/have lately.
In the long run Ill get something to keep my hand in, but for now, I want the S14 to go. Im also not plannign on entering any more competitions. I dont feel it worth my while as I dont do street and therefore dont/wont/havent imporoved as much as those that do/have in the past.

I havent attempted to go into the realms of tuning it anymore, even tho I had a plan to - simply cos I know what I'd see as my ideal spec may not be someone elses.

There are a few little jobs that need doin on it which would be completed before the sale. These are basics really. Clearing/scrubbing/Cleaning/Undersealing of mid section (front and rear have been done).
Cleanign off of remains of the sound deadening in the front foot wells and painting to match the rear. And then finally touch up the rear section.
The oils (engine, box, diff) will also be replaced before it goes. I can also have it aligned to any spec you wish by my local 4 Wheel centre.

I have lots of spares etc and some unfitted parts too, but this sale post is purely for the car as it stands (including the TE37s with the 'new' rubber)

Pics (Ill post some more up close pics up when I get a chance - currently cant view my photobucket scct as Im at work ))

















ANd finally one without stickers on

[sroberts]

Crumbs fella!

This is probably one of the best examples of a 200 drifter out there, nothing is bodged – matt is probably one of the most knowledgeable people with the SXOC. Such a recognisable and distinctive car!

So good looking, makes you wanna lick it

Si

[Matt_S]

Thanks Si
Yeh Id like to think its one of the better specced out there (aside the engine/turbo/ECU).

And for those of you that wondered where the term refresher came from - well, you have that man above to thank!LOL

Si

[Parker]

Si

I pray you're talking about the car

I sat in it once so that more than justifies the price

[Matt_S]

More pics added. Ill get interior shots sometime this week

[Funb0b]

Sadly you know you would be better off breaking it .........

[Matt_S]

Yeh thanks Barry

WTF?

[Sideways Danny]

wow, didn't see that coming. she's cetainly made a journey and a half from how we found her mate really good car that's even managed to make Matts driving look good recently

[Daz]

Been trying to remember your name Matt.

Spoke to you at Trax i think it was, really nice to talk to you and the car looked amazing. Should sell it easily. shame you've got to sell it though mate.

Daz.

[FlikstRR]

Look forward to interior shots too.

[Mark]

Arse

good luck Matt

Hi mate. Nice to meet a new face. Havent really done that in a while! Hopefully I gave you some sound advice that day. Thanks for the compliment

good luck Matt

Cheers Mark And yeah, Id rather not think about breaking it up. The CAR itself and what Ive done to it is what makes the spec, not the bolt on bits n pieces

wow, didn't see that coming. she's cetainly made a journey and a half from how we found her mate really good car that's even managed to make Matts driving look good recently

Err, I think thats supposed to be a compliment! Yes it has come a long way mate. A long way from the 'cheap shitter' it was meant to be LOL

[Parker]

As a selling point, I've heard it's not been revved over 3k

[Matt_S]

ROFLMFAO. Yeh, thats right Tom. It hasnt!























not til its fully warmed up anyhow!

[Delboy]

Matt, absolutely love your car mate and I still think you're overly harsh on yourself with regard to your driving ability!

Good luck with the sale though mate

[Matt_S]

Cheers Del Good luck with your sale too

Just counted up the $$$$ Ive spent.

Nearly £5k this year with the wheels (not mentioning the other wheels/tyres/parts I havent fitted that Ive bought this year ) - Id just like to thank Barclays for payign me back my bank charges now - without whom I wouldnt have been able to do all this this year PMSL

Total spent on the car is Approx £12k (this doesnt include the first clutch it had or maintenance parts like tyres, brake pads, new calipers, previous exhaust etc etc - basically as the car is now)

I might add that there is no labour charges on any of these prices. The only things Ive paid for are, err, the cage to be fitted. Thats it. Ive done all the work myself. The reason I mention it is because a lot of cars for sale mention "£18k spent!!!!" When in reality, £5k (or more) was on labour . Thsi is not the case. The money spent was on parts. Nearly all of which were new at fitting. (I think the 'chassis' parts that werent new are the exhaust (well, cat back anyhow), track rods/rod ends, wheels, rear brakes)

Added a few more bits to the spec which Id forgotten too

[p.nicholas]

gutted for you mate.good luck with sale

[Matt_S]

Errm, why gutted? Im not!

I dont HAVE to sell it. I WANT TO!!!

[p.nicholas]

ok then if your sure

[Matt_S]

Yes mate, I am LOL . Hence the 'part ex' if it helps a sale
