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 (http://www.motoiq.com) series about the car:

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)

Red LED dash light conversion
Red LED dome light

6" Infinity speakers in all 4 corners

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.

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

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

This thing is crazy clean.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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...

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?
