I was waiting for you to see this!!
I didn't do this the first post so.....
1.) -If you selling a car for 18k for above should you try to include as much things as possible?
Definately... the little parts do count and shows attention to detail which in turn shows quality.
2.)-Should a 95-96 converted kouki be worth more than a 97-98 original kouki?
NO... Kouki are harder to find, however I do argee that a 94 Vert would be more Rare, but less demand when you get the same car from 91-93. If you went off this theory the S15 Stawberry Face would be done to hell and back.... oh wait, it is!!
3.)-Does having a newer motor help?
YES... I hate seeing S13 SR20s in S14s... S13s with S14/S15-SR gets more respect... this gets me... Ex. the S15 engine is the most pointless marked up buy... your going to re-place all those parts that make it the S15 (injectors,turbo, ....thats it... trany? be real, just buy it) Save money and buy the S14 SR... the Black Top S13 is a $500 mark-up and you may actually get a 96+... but who knows... it could be a 91-95
4.)-Does having a bigger motor help? (i.e RB26, 1JZ, 2JZ, LS1,2,3,6,7).
That really depends on the quality of the swap... M.I.C...K.E.Y.... M.O.U.S.E.... says it all!! IMO... I dont like the 1JZ swap on the S-chassis, 2JZ swap is cool but cost is retarded... LS can be done very nice... RB swap is shaddy when its a 20 and even some 25s... if your going RB... Go 26
5.)-Does swap difficulty increase the value?
Yes... but this still goes under Quality... I have done SR20s in AE86s... RB26 in JZA80... SR20 in FD3S... all sort of Honda swaps.... It is all about Quality... now if you did something that decreases HP or way left feild... like a CA18 in a S14, or a NA SR20 in almost anything FR.... I did say almost!!
6.)-Does suspension, and aero play a big factor?
The outside of your car is what everyone sees... If it looks like shit... you bet, I am thinking its going to run like shit and have all sorts of issues. Suspension... see first post!
I have a Evo 9 MR also... there is only 600 of the MRs... most of you dont know that all cars that compete in a GT race must have a production # greater then 500.... the # higher then 500 declairs the Rarety.... however Supercars get to bend the rules.... Maseratti MC12 anyone?
