Fuck me I should have bought a Flame Suit! I just wanted to warn other's of the Dodgey goings on at that Particular Panel shop and to get a rough idea of what I can get for that 180SX.

Worst money I ever spent!!, I paid $14,000 for the bastard thing about 4.5 years ago and then put money into it too, seems I'll only get a return of only $2,500 or so. I may as well take it in the bush,thrash it and burn it

It's a performance car. You're not going to get money back from your mods. On any car!

Maybe buy yourself something 30+ years old and you might see some return

I remember that era when people were going crazy for Sylvias and 180s.
WTF were they thinking? It's probably more that they were brand new!

What year are these things? I'm guessing around early 90's? So take for example a Subaru RS Liberty as a benchmark, they held their value exceptionally well, around the same age, were a $40k car when new and around 5 years ago were selling for $7000 to $10,000. They are still worth $4500 upwards.

Mine is 1993 ,the 180SX was produced from 1989, through to 1998( type X) I do really love the shape and handling on those things but I could never get mine to run right and the big letdown for me was = it chews tyres out within 6 months( soft compound) or 1 year ( hard compound). Mine has been lowered quite a lot by the previous owner and have been told by tyre shops that the 180SX / S13 are designed to crouch down at the rear on take off.

So with the substantial Lowering, the way the suspension on these works and my driving style it was rubbing out tyres in no time flat!. Its the only car I have ever owned that was so quick on tyre changes and ....I'm 40 years old now and owned numerous previous cars over the years, by far this was the most problematic!.

You went back to query work done on your car without bringing the car?

The battery is dead... Cunt! and I have no spare cash for another battery at the moment and the WRX is now my daily driver.

Stopped in there on the way to one of my stops during work time( in the work Truck) to confront the morons regarding this to get some answers. I've done nothing wrong at all and yet Im getting roasted on on here???
