yeah people think I'm crazy for doing work to a Leased car... but I do all the work myself and I have every last stock part sitting in my garage (looks like a parts warehouse
)
There are some things I'm going to leave on the car because reverting to stock will be more of a pain then the parts are worth (like the springs/strut braces...etc). I've already reverted the stereo system, I had 3 piece Alpines in the front, 2 piece in the rear, an alpine 4905 head unit custom mounted into a gage pod, an 7.5" LCD screen where the old one went, an Xbox, Alpine V12 amp and 2 15" Rockford fosgate subs in a custom bass-reflex box.... Not to mention all monster wires for Power, Pre-amp and Speakers. Removed all of it last weekend and put it all back to stock. This weekend I'm probably going to do the turbo timer, intake, short shifter, shift knob, dead pedal, and reprogram the computer back to stock.
That will leave the suspension mods, exhaust and wheels and tires. Wheels and tires will come off and trade with the stockers and whoever buys the car will get about 2 grand worth of suspension and exhaust Parts (and all the stock parts if they so desire).
HKS Downpipe
HKS Up-pipe
HKS Hi-Power Catback with Silencer
Eibach Springs (1.1" lower then stock)
Eibach Shocks
Kartboy Endlinks
STi sub frame locking kit
STi Strut Tower Braces, front and rear
Cobb Tuning Swaybars, front and rear
and a full set of Cusco bushings all around.
No one wants used springs, shocks or bushings, the sways were a huge pain to replace and you cant use the stock endlinks with aftermarket sways, the strut tower braces aren't worth bubcus and I just don't feel like dealing with the exhaust system.
But with the Stereo Equipment, Cobb Computer tuner, and the wheels I should be able to make AT LEAST $2K, Plus I have a plethora of other part that I bought brand new and never got around to installing: Alpine Alarm system, A full set of STi Interior trim, Helix oil catch can, and a set of Bright Red Hella Supertones (those Hellas would look awesome under that 2.5s grill don't you think, nudge, nudge, wink, wink
) Not to mention 3 different grills not including the stocker because it took me a while to figure out which one I liked
I didn't feel to bad about doing all that to a leased vehicle because from day 1 I was planning on buying it out, I just couldn't afford the financing and really the suby dealer never gave me shit when I took it in, mechanics regularly complemented how nice the exhaust sounds, it makes a sweet low rumble, sounds like a chevy small block with a turbo
A 240sx will be cool, I want something that I can really tear apart and get dirty working on and come out with something really unique (not too many Silvias on US shores), besides it's the closes I'll ever get to an R34 Skyline
