That front bumper is hideous. Why would someone even entertain the idea of spending 15k+ on a roller,ok cool its an s15,but like Jordan said that's almost a z33 or buy an s14 and put the remaining 10-12k into it and actually have a car that operates under it's own power,btw dude who posted this im not flaming you just hurts to think that someone is going to actually buy this.

Ignorance is bliss... This is a 50-state FED legal car. Not some 50-state, paper tag, vin swap, "1998 S14", buddy in the Ocala DMV car that's going to get snapped up by Homeland because someone snuck it through the port of Miami wrong. Second, it's really grasping at straws to compare this at 15k to a busted ass Z33 base model. The is the ultimate platform for the SR20, and there are ZERO street legal copies in the US. You'll spend an entire inheritance making a Z33 as fast as a bolt-on S15. Finally, that's the S15 factory aero bumper. Yes, I'd be pissed to drop big coin on the chassis to have some HIN fiberglass nonsense on such a nice car. But it's not.

Despite what you're reading above, I'm not nut-swinging this car. Some people just need some perspective. Like, there are fewer S15's in the country than R34 GT-R's. Kaizo is the ONLY way to get Japan-only cars in the US now legally. I wouldn't pay $23-25 for it. But, at the $10-12 it's bidding at now, I definitely think it's good value for money.

^ not saying the car is not nice at all,and I think we all understand how rare it is to be 100% legal for the US,nor do I think it is not valued at what he is asking,just seems a little crazy to spend 10-12k on a roller

buy a nice Kouki, and put $10k into, before the reserve would even be met. That's what I would do.

The car running with a swap in it is worth over $25 so it is a hell of a deal
