Speaking from some one who sold a car on cars and bids and is currently in the process of listing one. It's great for JDM RHD cars. I listed a car in July and got nearly what I was asking on marketplace. Now the car market has changed since July so we'll see what happens with my current listing. Cars and Bids has good customer service and builds your listing fast, however, they love to set no reserve and keep claiming no reserve auctions make more money. I tried to list a car on Bring a Trailer that eventually went to cars and bids. BaT took a week just to tell me no. Honestly if I have museum clean car or one of the JDM halo cars then go bring a trailer. They have ridiculous standards
@4:17 That crease is probably from a cargo strap from when it was shipped. And the rest of the damage is probably from another clip being stacked on it.
It's a wild look and like I said in the video, if one showed up conveniently nearby at a nice price, I'd buy it to daily just to say I did. But yeah, without a stick or 280bhp 90s halo car energy it's hard to care about these or seek them out
@@CollectorCarFeed the svx EG33 is pretty beefy(for a boxer) and can hit pretty decent hp numbers with minimal work. parts availability unfortunately isn't great but respectable for sure. thought about swapping it into my 97 Impreza but the ez30 seems like a better option down the road
I remember wanting to get an SVX as my daily before I got my car. But I couldn't find one locally, and then I was told. Imagine how expensive it would be to repair? Eugh I did see only 1 in person so far and an older man was driving it with his I assume wife and it looked Raf
There's one that's always parked at the parking lot adjacent to my school, night and day. A shame that it sits out in the blazing sun and the cold snow, never really being driven at all. A waste really.
@@joshuamelomodesto2548 I don't know how laws work in every state, but I am pretty sure you can ask the people who own the property if you can take it off for them. You'll get a lost title car but maybe, fuck it and you'd get a rad car
@@touku3631In most states, you'll need to go through a legal process of attempting to reach out to the last known owner based off the last registration to prove it's actually abandoned. Either that, or you get a bonded title and if nobody comes up to take claim of their vehicle, then eventually the title is issued to you. That's assuming it's actually abandoned and not just being parked in an outdoor parking lot 24/7 with a valid registration.
The only reason you would put the camber plates in the wrong way would be to get some caster adjustment, but I'd say 9/10 people probably have no reason/no idea to do that
One is mounted correctly but the other is off by a bolt, making the camber plate diagonal with the engine bay instead of perpendicular to it. People say it's for toe or caster or something, which seems like a really half measure way to fix it to begin with, but then it's also always only ONE of them set up like that. You'd think if you were doing that you'd at least make them match
no idea how i got here but hey! its always funny to rip apart listing on the internet so why not? oh also after working as the allignment guy for quite a while i think the reason that coil is always installed "wrong" has probably to do with the lowered suspension and the weight difference from driving alone making the caster and camber on the passenger side wacky resulting in eating tires too fast or pulls the car to that side so the plate is installed diagonally so it can both do a little caster and camber rather than a lot of just one.... that just my best guess as ive never actually worked on a s13 240 nor seen one in person as they are absolutely rare in this country...
We keep seeing coilovers with adjustable camber in the tophats on these cars, and one will always be spun a bolt off from where it should be. Correct install would have the camber adjusting perpendicular to the body, but we keep seeing where somebody has stuck one on correctly and then the other side, like the one shown, is diagonal. It's far too obvious a mistake to actually be a mistake, wondering why 240SX guys are doing this.
THIS!!! is a certified banger, with tons of based takes, also people who buy svxs are people who just want that JAYDEEEMM clout with no regard for the cars themself
Did the SVX thing for a while. Would get looks and thumbs up often. It was amazingly comfortable and quiet on the highway. Just sat there at 85mph, smooth as silk, and you could talk to the passenger without raising your voice. Just a great cruiser. It would corner decently too. 230hp, so not super slow, but the auto definitely held it back. One drawback was that parts are just not available. I knew people waiting a year while theirs was down just bc it needed a radiator. The 3.3l flat 6 was not used in any other Subarus. A bunch of SVX-only parts with that car. Wheel bearings - same deal. Just tough to find basic wear items. Otherwise, was a real nice car.
SVX are my dream (realistic) car. Too bad they go from 10 to 15k for a decent condition example here and they are super rare. Maybe one day...no, surely someday I'll get my hands on one! (:

@@CollectorCarFeed Y33 Turbo Nissan Leopard. I'll send you the listing. Love your content
"the car ran before I started disconnecting things"😂😂😂
Net always sounds like hes chewing on a fist full of twizlers when he talks

If the SVX came in a manual, prices would def be different. Same with a turbo Flat 6 model / sti or something. I think they look cool though.

My favorite small car channel and very entertaining dudes! Keep up the work

I'd go on Cars and bids to buy a manual Honda civic. I would go on BaT to buy a 1 owner civic type r with 10k miles and a clean car fax
its $100 to list a car?? wtf. im also not surprised he promotes cars and bids in every single intro if its failing that badly
I think it was free alitle before or after this video was posted.
whats wrong with the coils at 2:00? i dont understand whats wrong with them
One is mounted correctly but the other is off by a bolt, making the camber plate diagonal with the engine bay instead of perpendicular to it. People say it's for toe or caster or something, which seems like a really half measure way to fix it to begin with, but then it's also always only ONE of them set up like that.

The convertible top on the 240sx is the same as the one used on the Infiniti m30 Convertible
Man back when I was building cars you could get a running 240 for a few hundred
no idea how i got here but hey! its always funny to rip apart listing on the internet so why not?
oh also after working as the allignment guy for quite a while i think the reason that coil is always installed "wrong" has probably to do with the lowered suspension and the weight difference from driving alone making the caster and camber on the passenger side wacky resulting in eating tires too fast or pulls the car to that side so the plate is installed diagonally so it can both do a little caster and camber rather than a lot of just one.... that just my best guess as ive never actually worked on a s13 240 nor seen one in person as they are absolutely rare in this country...
No, they're just idiots.
@@carfriendsimulator9981 hey thats only making sense of insanity, at least throw me a bone 🤣
the coilovers are mounted like that to adjust/improve castor. btw live the video's . do sum subaruz pls.
But why is it always just one side?
@CollectorCarFeed I really don't know mate
I live just down the hill from Castro Valley, if I see that black Silvia swap I’ll tell the guy
“I saw your car on TH-cam, they hate it!”
I not well versed when it comes to 240s but what are they talking about with the coils at 1:53

So glad I found this channel had some good laughs through out the vid. You earned my sub!
Welcome king, appreciate the kind words!
A lot of shitty aftermarket parts come with that chicken wire

Radwood kids ruined toyota landcruisers or any toyota you have to import for that matter.
6:58 those wheels are on my Altima 💀
Altimas are for lames
Can’t wait for you guys to hit 100k this year
fuck, this channel makes me wanna restore a stupid S13 even though I dont have any money or experience.
SVX are my dream (realistic) car. Too bad they go from 10 to 15k for a decent condition example here and they are super rare. Maybe one day...no, surely someday I'll get my hands on one! (:
Glad someone said it. Never liked Cars and Bids since they won’t let me sell my 2011 Nissan Altima.
SVXs and Toyota Seras are in the same boat of "Radwood Japanese delereon bullshit"
SVXs are really fun to ride in! But they are impossible to get replacement parts for. Not worth the headache
2:22 only thing of value is the dash. $3500 maybe if he parted it out
I love svxs, I have one kinda shitty near me for 2k but I'm also thinking of importing a jdm one
Does anyone make an aftermarket hardtop for the 240?
a nice ccf video before bed 👌
i had a fwd subaru from 1985 it was a wagon and it leaked oil like crazy it was a GL10 it was a pile of shit! it was my first car in the late 90s
Jeeez you guys should see the panel gaps on my hatch haha
This motor is bar legally, I think he meant to say barely legal and swapped 😂
You see the HGEU is rumbling again?
I've got my ear to the rail, if I was a betting man I think it'll get spicier later this week
Simple answer is yes. It was good at one time but its gone to hell. Like most websites. That vert was weirdly nice... but I would never own one.
That 240 at 4:45 is HOT FUCKING GARBAGE it's worth 1000$ all fucking day. No title in Cali = a bad time lmaoo
I'd love an svx
0:35 you just know
Just wanted to say california is a no title state. So you don’t need a title to sell a car.
It's not chicken wire, it' RWB.
Need nb Miata content plzzzz
Ong consider it done
