Engine-swapped... which means custom-wiring, custom-fabrication, custom trouble.
Up to you if you can handle it... or if you know mechanics familiar with the RB20DET (not many are) and familiar with RB-swapped S14s (again... not many... easier to find mechanics who understand SR20 Silvias).
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

Nope. Not going for it. And it's time na manglait
1. They should really try to affix a odometer reading sa mga ganito... secondhand car ad is still an advertisement. It will tell you whether the car's a Sunday car or a daily-driven one. Even if it can be faked, it's better than nothing.
2. Baka naman gusto niya maging more in-depth with his modifications. He's selling towards a niche enthusiast category -- not a first time buyer (or maybe he is for fools out there). Throwing in better details such as what kind of coilovers, maybe a close-up shot of the current intercooler state, etc. wouldn't hurt him at all.
3. Regarding on his engine swap, he needs to state where he got it done. Baka naman may dyno sheets yan kahit papano right? Engine swapping's a messy affair.. not many can do it properly. And why the heck a RB20DET? Skyline-fan much? The SR20 engine is already good enough as it is and so is a SR20DET with many shops specializing in them. I would understand maybe the stronger RB26DETT.. but the 20DET? Bah. Not only is he making it hard on himself but he also messes with the Silvia's inherent weight distribution balance. Good luck finding a tuner and part availability - even the RB25/26s are easier (there's Jimbo and Autoplus for that har har..) from an owner convenience perspective.
Well, those are my three main pointers. If you want more..
4. That muffler looks tacky. Not only is to too large but it's ugly to look at thanks to the oddly placed rear diffuser.
5. I see red painted brakes. May feeling Brembo na tayo dito palang red flag na ako. You don't go painted brakes -- you go for upgraded rotors and pots.
6. Those tires are daily-tires. Not track tires. Quite apparent sa thread pattern and the four water grooves.
7. I wanna know kung ano modifications nito sa ECU and MAF. Because that's one of the most important parts you want to know in buying cars like these -- the engine management.
8. Define intercooler turbo -- all cars have an intercooler naman.. eh yun turbo ba nito aftermarket or the ones that comes with the engine?
For what it's worth, just tell him he needs to market his car better... and maintain it better.

And for other vehicle alternatives, start looking for a manual Civic FD and start modding it. It might not have a RWD configuration, but you save yourself a lot of headaches in purchasing one.Last edited by jhnkvn; November 4th, 2013 at 01:17 AM.

my only advice and i'm speaking from experience is never ever buy a swapped car. it doesn't matter how good and experienced where the swap was done, it will always have a problem. it might only be minor problems when done by a reputable shop/tuner but still it gets annoying after a while and i guarantee you that a swapped engine won't even last that long. it's ok if it's a dedicated track car but if you plan to use it as a weekend car then goodluck.

After everything has been said, my question is,
What will you do with it?

di na uso yan
those who owned a Silvia have sold, those who still own are selling
the bragging rights for owning one of those has diminished to near zero
sabi ko nga ang pataasan ng ihi ngayon are real sports cars not modified Japanese rice rockets
