Ian Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Looks horrible. So overpriced it's unreal! Why is it overpriced? Yes its a 2003 Z but you only need to see the quality of the parts used in the build to tell you its not exactly your average Z. If anyone was planning on a balls out N/A build then they can't really go wrong with this car IMO. Have a look at how much it would cost you to get to 352bhp in N/A form Could have picked a decent wing though Would be the first thing to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also does he have a build thread 352 on N/A sounds awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also does he have a build thread 352 on N/A sounds awesome! Which is why I said earlier in the thread that although its worth that much, few would pay it with such a poor description. Won't be a build thread on here, might be one on NS but it will cost you £35 to see it what is the air box shiney box? i want one Made by ARC. No longer available after they went bust & they are pretty expensive. By far the best sounding intake for the Z though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Everyone knows modifications rarely add any value to a car.... Whilst I agree with statement when talking about bodykits, wheels, bits n bobs etc. It's complete bollocks when it comes to engine modifications. Whilst Engine internals etc wont add MASSES of value, they will add significant value, as its a set-up that people considering FI would like to have at the start off, rather than them having to shell out the masses of cash themselves. Do a little research into how much it costs to forge an engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH 370z Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 For what it’s worth. In my opinion you are all right! As always, anything is only worth what another individual is prepared to pay for a product. The problem you have with something like this is, it’s obviously a very personal thing, plus to the untrained eye, you would naturally air on the side of caution, if you are not 100% about the esoteric nature of the build. All these things make the audience smaller and smaller for a commodity like this - Thusly making it a tougher sell! Personally, I think it’s a fortune for an 8 YO car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idec Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Just to satisfy SOME of the critics on this thread, I have added a list to the ad.... but I won't remove the wing at any price, you need to see it 'in the flesh' to judge. not sat at your keyboard giving opinions.

introspect Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 as its a set-up that people considering FI would like to have at the start off, rather than them having to shell out the masses of cash themselves I don't think this is actually true. This car has been built specifically for NA. An NA engine build is very different from a FI build in terms of spec. Personally I would love to have this car rather than spend all the money needed for a FI Zed. This would be a seriously fun sports car with enough power (there IS such a thing as too much power in a rear wheel drive car), properly sorted handling without the extra weight at the front that a TT or SC and all associated bits would have... But that rear wing would HAVE to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
