Getting a 2nd hand Mazda RX-7 1996

[stupidcar]

Okay this car http://www.mudah.my/Nissan+Silvia+2+0+M+S15+SPEC+R+GOOD+CONDITION-22920963.htm wasn't such a good car...
May just get this one instead http://www.mudah.my/Nissan+Silvia+S15+M+R+450+BHP+Turbo+Direct+Owner-22073346.htm though i'm not to sure. I wanna check out the one in Johor, but is in Johor....

Ironically, it says good condition. But since then, the ad has been taken down.

Since we're on S15, I like the look of this S15.

Very thorough! Nice! How'd you check for twisted chassis though?

Well by chassis I mean the main body frame that holds the cockpit (sitting area) of the car. Check below for the diameter of the base structure and its height from the ground and in relation to other parts of the main body. Took sometime. The guy selling it was wondering what I was doing on the floor.

If the condition of the auto is good, probably worth to get it and then convert the transmission to manual using gearbox from halfcut. Months ago, I saw one very stock looking S15 Spec R Aero Silvia for sale but it is in auto. Everything is stock even the rims and exhaust. The car is in silver colour.

I wouldn't mind that but what's the estimated cost to do something like that?

Haha. Hope you find a nice one.
Always remember it is not urgent to get a second car.
It need time to meet a good one then you won't regret when you see a better one.
" I have a good one already, this one is just as good as mine, no big deal "

Rev hard....

Pitwork Silvia still on sale yo.

Nissan Silvia S15(M) Turbo - Whole package - Cars for sale Selangor - Mudah.my

Nah, I don't want a car that's been completely modded. Takes the fun and learning experience out of it.
And no to the Fast & Furious stuff, haha.
Its not exactly a second car but more of a replacement for my current Proton Persona.
Still looking hard though.

Probably a few thousand under 10k I guess if you get the manual transmission from halfcut shops.

The 450hp one seems like a good buy if u r not looking for stock models.

Ya one of the options, but I still prefer the car comes with it originally unless no choice, rare car then only find a stock one in Auto. Then can consider converting. Like Supra. Stock ones most of it seems to be A/T :frown:

Converting from auto to manual is worth it if the auto is in good condition. Since it is an auto, usually you can expect it to be more of a car for casual ride than a car for track days, touge or racing by the ex owner. So, the engine could still be in a good condition which is better than getting a manual one but with a trashed engine with problems here and there.

we cannot trust the owner if he says that the car have not been tracked, but for me no point having a modified/sports/sports sedan car if u dowan to track it, whats the difference if u bring it to sepang or go for ulu yam/genting touge, can the car be categorised as "have not been tracked" if he go for touge?

if im buying an evo/subaru/silvia/skyline id be happier if the owner tracked it in sepang means
1. owner have money - to pay entry fees, car maintanance
2. knows his car's potential
3. has amateur or professional driving skills.
4. knowledgeable

Nowadays, A/T or M/T, Performance or non performance car, also ppl track it one. Is either is on track or on public road

Anyway, getting a used car, always try not to get an A/T one. A/T is ur own risk to take if anything wrong with the gearbox, u r just gonna spend more than the price of the car you bought.

Manual is somehow safer and not so costly if compare to A/T Gearbox.

Buy 2nd hand myvi and how many of those were on sale were not driven hard?
Trying hard enough to smoke bigger cars

True, someone who can afford to pay fees on track is someone who take good care of his car and well maintained compare to those who just use it as daily joy ride at home. :top:

Good point. Well, if a car like Silvia is in full stock form with auto, then I think most probably the owner din't really tracked or went touge with the car. If the owner is serious about going for touge or track, he would not have got an auto in the first place and he'd probably did some minor modifications to the car already. But I may be wrong though.

I know getting an auto is not good due to gearbox reliability issues and stuffs like gearbox needs extra radiator for cooling. What I meant was if most of the manual versions out in the market are not in good condition and there is one auto in good condition, I was thinking of taking the auto and convert it to manual after the purchase. However, converts are definitely not as good as the originals of course but sometimes choices are not always there for us to choose.

I think this is true to a certain extent.

The better way of putting it is buying a car from a fellow car enthusiasts, not some racer boy wannabe.

It's like buying a car from Izso or v2rturbo (to name a few, hehe), you just know it's been properly maintained and looked after.

Good point, at least you know that the ex owner takes care of his car.

No matter how good you think Vr2turbo's car is.. he'll never sell it for anything less than 3 times its worth.

3 times its worth? Then I think that can be Either Evo 8 or Impreza WRX STI Ver 8 already.
