FS Turbo SLX (Gareth) Blue Mountains/Sydney |
Tue 25 Nov 2008 01:17:14 PM |
Hi all,
The time has come to look at moving on from the mighty Micra. So i'm putting my Turbo SLX up for sale. It's a 1995 model SLX, features are (in no particuler order, and please excuse if i've missed anything its been a while since i've listed the inclusions): T25 turbo, Custom intercooler, Custom made manifold, Sards fuel pressure regulator, 15" alloy wheels, Koni yellow shocks, Whitleline lowered springs, and panhard rod, slotted front disc brakes, 2.5" stainless mandrel bent exhaust from the cat back, pioneer cd player, Motec M4 ECU. It has been running on 7psi of boost with std injectors for the last 3 years, made 94kw's at the wheels last time on the dyno, and is a great daily driver. It's fun to drive, very zippy and handles well. The conversion was done professionally at Springwood Car Care here in the mountains. Rego is untill March 2009 This car was voted runner up behind Reverb at the Celebration meet in Canberra a couple of years ago as Australia's second most popular Micra . However, there are a couple of minor issues with it, which will require a trip to the mechanics and probably about $500-$1000 spending on it to bring it back to tip top shape, such as CV joints? replacing (quoted $220), also I think the brake pads need replacing which at a guess would cost around $200. It also now has 198,000k's on the clock Anyway, I'm asking for $6,000 ono I will post up some recent photo's over the next few days, however in the meantime you can check some pictures taken a couple of years ago at: http://www.untubbed.com/pics/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=4 http://www.untubbed.com/pics/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=5 http://www.untubbed.com/pics/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=17 http://www.untubbed.com/pics/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=20 http://www.untubbed.com/pics/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=25 http://www.untubbed.com/pics/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=26 I hope the pictures work, again they were taken a few years ago at the Celebration meet. The car hasn't change much, but now has clear side indicators. Also, currently the std steering wheel is fitted, but I do have a boss kit so you would be able to fit the wheel of your choice. If you are interested, please send me a message through this site with your contact number and I'll give you a ring and hopefully arrange to meet up. Cheers for now, Gareth |

Reason for the sale is I am hoping to use the cash towards starting my new business as a Personal Trainer.
Also, I made a typo in the original post as rego is actually until May 29 2009, and not March. Cheers all:) |

Hi Kovert,
The conversion cost me about $9,500. I reckon in total I have spent somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000 on mods. Cheers |

Oh what a shame hey Gareth, but I bet you are pumped about starting the new business, good on you.
Its a lovely car this one. A very clean conversion job and it just sparkles. An absolute bargain at $5500. Have you ever 0-100kmh timed it? |

Cheers Cisco,
Unfortunatley I never did get a 0-100 time. Very excited about starting up my business and hopefully it will become successful. Not many enquiries so far, but I'll give it some time before putting onto Carsguide etc. Hope youre doing well mate. And if anyone else has any questions please message me. Cheers |
