for about £7-8k could maybe push it a bit higher.

was thinking something like a skyline/supra, but don't wanna be forking out loads of ££££'s on bills/running costs etc

any suggestions?

200sx

can get a mint later model for 6k-ish, then spend a grand tuning it and you could probably have near on 300bhp

you wont get much of a supraTT for 8k....

Skyline GTS - 8k will get you a nice one.

Mine has heaps of new parts, and seviceables.... ken... new coil packs on the way to cure a slight high boost hesitation

most others of sim age/spec are about 8.5 to 9k..... i just want to sell it so i can get the supra sooner, ken

Im 900 to insure the skyline FC (25, 5yr NCD)

running costs - its a bit heavy on petrol but thats to be expected.... about 250miles to 45quid

"""1999 T-Reg S14a Touring - Green

Unfortunatly i am having to sell my S14a, which has served me well since August last year. The car has 63k miles and has been fully serviced with all the relevent stamps. Its MOT'd and Taxed and is currently totally standard apart from the Nismo gearknob. It had new Denso spark plugs at the 60k service too.

The bad points are that it does have a fair few stone chips and a fair few scratches although they are not too nasty. When it was last serviced i was advised that the rear discs and front pads were slightly worn although they did not say i had to change them yet.

It probably makes it sound like its not a good car but it is and i have had no problems with it but at the same time it is not mint, its been used daily and i would not want anyone to be under the impression that it is perfect. """
