Can't believe I'm about to say this but I'm considering selling the Laurel... It's cool as f*ck, nice to drive and the amount of attention it gets is unbelievable. It's maybe a little too low but is sitting on some Tein Super street coilovers which haven't covered too many miles! It's a really nice motorway cruiser and if I'm honest it's geared too long for drifting. It's fun in the wet but the 140bhp 2.4l engine just doesn't have the power to get the rear end out in the dry. The bodywork is in good condition and it's probably too good to drift anyway... I paid £1800 for it so an offer close to that would take it, Mot runs out in October. I really want a Lada Riva more than anything else so the money would go towards that and getting my Sierra roadworthy. PM if you like.

Consider a swap with a drifty beemer? 325 non vanos, brand new solid fly and clutch, great spec ready to rock.  Only downside is, i'm literally the other end of the country and mine would need a trailer. |

As much as I enjoy drifting 325's I've just acquired a twincam Sierra so another "drift" car isn't really needed.  DSC_7478 by srblythe, on Flickr |

Hi, I text you on the number above, do you have pics of interior and engine bay, a few of underneath? whats the rust like. any problems with it/anything broken Thanks Hi, I replied to your text. I don't have any photos of the interior or engine bay but can get some tomorrow. Rust is virtually non existent as you would expect from a Nissan of this era, It's quite difficult to get underneath, I cant exactly get it onto a ramp but I will do my best to get some pics of the underside. The car drives spot on, handles well. The exhaust note sounds lovely. The main issues are it's too low, the tow bar is mounted quite low at the rear and scrapes everything, I cant reverse it out of my drive without it scraping on the road. I imagine there are some scuffs on the chassis rails and the exhaust. The cambered rear wheels have caused wear on the inner edges of the tyres, they are still legal but the setup isn't ideal. |

Oh right, I haven't received a message back as of yet, It may come through in the morning. Thanks that would be perfect if you could get the photos. (I have whatsapp if that is easier to send)
Yeah, I have had a few low cars on coilovers and understand the scraping haha, do you have the C spanner's to adjust the coilovers?
I could come and see it on Saturday if what you say is correct/pics are ok. I am 50 miles north of Aberdeen so a few hours drive to get to you but not a problem if we set off early morning.
Thanks
