SOLD
Hi guys. For sale in the SoCal / LA area is my '93 Sileighty. 241,400 miles on the chassis, but that's almost the only thing left that's original. The SR20 has ~30k miles since I got it, and has been rebuilt once in that time (blown head gasket; sigh). I've had the car since 2005 and have gone through it from the ground up. It was built to be a comfortable, fly-under-the-radar daily driver and an awesome handling weekend track car. Read all about a bunch of the technical details in the MotoIQ.com series about the car:

http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...d--Part-1.aspx
http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...it-Handle.aspx
http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...it-Pretty.aspx

The specs:

Exterior
Silvia front end w/ GT-R center panel
180sx tails
New paint in 2007 -- rare Infiniti color Beryllium with a Super Black roof

Interior
WORKING A/C!
S14 front seats, super clean
New black carpet and floor mats in the cabin (this was a royal bitch to install.)
Dark headliner conversion (feels like a fancy German car, ooh!)
Non-choking seat belt conversion
MonsterKnobs shift knob (love it!)
Momo steering wheel with carbon fiber accents
Almost perfect dash (small crackle in the corner that ends at the defroster vent)
NO SUNROOF! (takes a huge weight off the car's roof)
Crank windows (lighter weight! And you'll never have to replace those pesky window actuators when they die)
Mini Techtom (so you can track the ACTUAL coolant temp)
Red LED dash light conversion
Red LED dome light
Infinity Basslink 200-watt powered sub
6" Infinity speakers in all 4 corners
Some nice Sony head unit with aux jack
Optima battery relocated to hatch for weight distribution, with remote terminal in the engine bay for easier jump access if necessary

Handling & Braking
Custom Ground Control coilovers/strut bodies with Koni Sport inserts. Springs are 350F/250R
17x8.5" SSR GT7 wheels, powdercoated gunmetal grey. Brand new matching spare wheel included
BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2 tires, only 3000 miles
Front and rear strut tower bars (Front is Whiteline)
Camber plates
Front and rear adjustable Progress sway bars with Mazdaspeed3 ball joint end links
5-lug conversion, s14 knuckles
300ZXTT aluminum uprights
300ZXTT front and rear aluminum calipers and Stoptech SS braided brake lines
300ZXTT brake booster
Stoptech Powerslot rotors
Curb weight 2750 lbs, corner weighted with near perfect 50/50 weight distribution

Power
Blacktop S13 SR20DET, 240+ rwhp
JWT ECU, custom tuned on the dyno by Clark Steppler
T28 turbo, Extrude Honed
Stillen intercooler
JWT clutch and lightweight flywheel
ARP head studs
DSM blowoff valve, recirculated (the way it should be)
3" downpipe and Magnaflow exhaust with Mazda RX-8 cat
300ZXTT MAF
Bottomless Q45 airbox (for better airflow + stock looks)
Power Enterprise PBC Power Boost Controller (installed but not working for some reason; currently running a boost jet at 11 PSI)
Koyo aluminum radiator
OEM Miata fans
Custom aluminum one-piece driveshaft
JDM OEM Nissan clutch-type diff
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
615cc injectors

Minor downers
Though it looks awesome, it still is a 21-year-old driven car, so...
One tiny door ding
A few small paint chips from daily driving
Front bumper is spiderwebbed/chipped from a very low speed incident
Half of the LED dash lights have gone flaky. Sometimes they work, sometimes no. Probably a bad ground.
Wrinkle-coat paint on the valve cover is flaking off
3 of the speakers not working, probably a bad ground again

Includes spare wheel, a crap-ton of StopTech brake rotors, and a brand new set of Axxis Ultimate brake pads

Price: $9,000

Shoot me a PM. I'll take offers, but don't bother lowballing. The car was smogged a month ago, so it's valid for sale in California for 2 more months. I recommend taking advantage of that, because smog will be buyer's responsibility afterwards. I have more detailed photos to send to interested buyers.

NOTE: the trim panel that hides the ECU (seen laying in the hatch photo above) is now installed

Sorry this engine bay pic sucks. It was dark. I can take a better one for anyone interested.

middy · 03-03-2014, 02:59 PM

Anyone remember Sport Compact Car's Project Silvia? This is Project Silvia's much more comfortable, much nicer mate. Built by Dave Coleman.

carnal_c30 · 03-06-2014, 12:18 PM

wow beautifully done!!! It would be difficult to find something like this again

fabulous71 · 03-08-2014, 04:58 PM

Bump for a very clean S13. Although I don't often post here, I can attest to the well sorted nature of this car.

Konster · 03-08-2014, 06:46 PM

This thing is crazy clean.

middy · 03-13-2014, 05:00 PM

Thanks guys. This is really a one-of-a-kind car, and Dave Coleman is never building another Silvia or selling his. This is your one shot.

***FaLKoN240*** · 03-13-2014, 05:17 PM

I think more than anything this ad needs an engine bay shot.

middy · 03-13-2014, 05:30 PM

Ask and you shall receive. I added it to the post. I took it in a parking garage so it's a little dark and blurry, and I couldn't tell I was cutting off the airbox. But the engine bay is not what's special about this 240 anyway.

middy · 03-17-2014, 03:58 PM

Still available.

d_nice · 03-17-2014, 04:01 PM

yea car looks clean...

ddf2006 · 03-17-2014, 05:54 PM

Very proper and clean setup sir, BUMP for you.

b4l · 03-17-2014, 06:51 PM

super clean car.

240o'clock · 03-17-2014, 09:05 PM

Damn this is a clean ass track car, i would hate to take it to the track cuz its soooo damn clean ! lol

middy · 03-18-2014, 06:18 PM

It was built to drive and it's best enjoyed at the track, so don't feel bad about using something for its ultimate purpose. It handles so damn well it feels like an extension of you, and is extremely quick.

But yes, I have covered the entire front end with blue tape at the track before. It got more paint chips on the freeway than track days. Obviously from the pics I eventually abandoned the taping.

dizzariot · 03-18-2014, 06:51 PM

Totally cool. Too bad CA is a horrible place for all things fun. GLWS!

middy · 03-25-2014, 11:22 AM

CA buyers, only 1 month left on the smog check. After that, new buyer will have to do it again.

middy · 03-28-2014, 02:19 PM

If anyone in the NorCal bay area wants track rides or street test drives, I'll be in Monterey for a Laguna Seca track event April 5-6.

middy · 04-11-2014, 04:20 PM

It's gonna go on eBay next week if no one here wants it! Make me a good offer and maybe you'll get it for less than it auctions for...

MoNkEy_MaGiCx · 04-14-2014, 11:37 AM

Such a clean car. I assume you wouldn't want to trade for a 99 miata?

Hmmm..... 99 Miata plus some cash. And it would have to be a really nice 99 Miata. Or a brown Miata.

What's the specs?

t0nysbooty · 04-15-2014, 11:59 AM
