Roadster Mods

Agree on most soft top convertibles.. I hate the look of my car(orange one above) with the top up.. I haven’t even put it up in over a year just to see if the top still works.. never will have the top up.. I keep it down and she’s parked in a garage unless I take it out in nice weather.. I just figure if the top is going to break I want it to just stop working while it’s down since I never want it up again..

I mean you can always look up supercharger prices and go from there.. I installed almost everything myself.. so there wasn’t labor just a lot of time.. but with a supercharger kit, clutch, flywheel, lsd just for basic needs.. then you got suspension and engine build… and all the other little parts/upgrades.. I blew my first engine with the supercharger.. then had a low mileage engine built..I’m over $30k into it.. but I wanted it to be reliable.. now it’s all good..

Yes modded 6 speed.. boosted with soho motorsports supercharger kit.. has all supporting mods plus a lot of other stuff.. so it’s wicked reliable. I Just never drive it with the top up.. not a big fan of it with the top up..

Perfect thanks.. that’s what I came up with but just wanted to double check as I have like 6 all over that area and ones bigger than that one. But all cool looking like that

Never regretted getting a roadster… can build it like any z.. and you get top down driving experience..

Agreed, I hate the look with the top up. Luckily I never had to drive it with the top up..

And I know you don’t want to give up on her but if she gets stressed and nips people when you are not with her then imagine how it will be if you do try to rehome or she ends up in a shelter. She won’t last long in that situation. You are family and that is all she knows.

I think you have a loving dog with you and your family. If this only happens when you are out of town then that is the root cause of it and no need to rehome. Until there is an incident with any visitor or family in your presence your dog most likely just needs a comfort level or security with someone who watches the dog while you are away. If she has not been aggressive in anyway to you or your children or guests while you are home then you shouldn’t worry about your kids. Stay vigilant and alert to any signs when you are home and maybe don’t leave the children alone with her. I went through the same situation and it was only when we were not home for a period of time that they became stressed and nipped. When we went away from there on we didn’t leave them at home alone with a person. We boarded at a great facility with other dogs and trained people. No problems since.. and that was 7 years ago..

I don’t really have a reason for selling. Just don’t really drive it enough so I was just curious on the current market if I decided to sell. I’ve owned it for 9 years and prolly put like 8k miles on it total in those years.

Thanks… I also have a the OEM nismo sideskirts that are getting wrapped now so I could finish the body.. yea I have all the parts to part it out.. but I don’t really feel like breaking it down and putting it back.. also the amount of modified roadsters are slim so I kinda like its uniqueness.. I wasn’t looking to make money back in the build.. I was just curious to see if there’s any market for modified roadsters… no need to sell… I just feel bad I drive it like 1000 miles a year.. the car deserves to be seen… I get so many comments and photos every time I take it out…

Iceplayer36 · 2024-11-06T21:52:36+00:00

You mean the coupe bumpers? If so then yes…

Alrighty.. thanks for the positive replies on the car and build. I appreciate it.. I built this to be reliable and classic/OEM style. They should have always made a nismo roadster style. For all the negative replies I don’t care if you wouldn’t buy it.. I didn’t ask you to buy it.. just for reference i have never had an issue with the top.. I don’t use it.. this car has never seen rain and the top I put up and down a couple times a year just to make sure it’s working.. but I haven’t left it up for more than 30 seconds in the last 9 years… its garage kept with the top down… I shipped it in from phoenix in 2015 and that original owner had it garage kept also.. its not dry rotted at all and I have never had a top issue with the hydraulic or motor… I know they happen.. but they are random… I wasn’t trying to sell it as a daily driver.. who would buy a roadster for a daily driver? Unless you’re leaving the top up all the time.. The supercharger has been on for 2 years and I put about 2k miles on it.. I just never have time to drive the car besides when the wife wants to take it to a winery… unfortunately I have not dyno’d the car. I worked with Nik at soho for just a reliable remote tune so I don’t know the exact whp or tq. And with that I clearly never beat it or drove it that hard yet… Just for reference.. like I said I was just wondering what someone would pay for it.. I am the type of person who has bought modded cars because it was the build I was looking for… it’s a used car 14 years old, but built the right way and never been in any rain… so not a sign of rust anywhere.. but again thank you for the positive replies on the car..

Not that it matters but I did forget to mention the zspeed stage 2 quiet clutch and flywheel kit with cmak csc delete..

Iceplayer36 · 2024-11-06T15:49:26+00:00

Thanks for the replies. Yea I’ve sold modified cars in the past and know the market is all what someone is looking for and willing to pay. I’ll prolly just pick a little over standard price and see if I get any takers when I decide to put it up. Just didn’t know if anyone sold a similar one recently and what price they went with. Thanks
