Before the sales moderator nazis start (no, I'm not being critical, I understand why you have to be nazis about it) I HAVE been a member for more than 6 months, and I DO have more than 50 posts. I just haven't been in here for quite a while because I moved to Canberra and it seemed kinda pointless lurking on a NSW-specific forum while living away from NSW. Why post here, you ask? Because the car is still registered in NSW.

Other Comments:
I want $3.5K, not negotiable. That price includes everything below as well as every spare part for the car in my garage, of which there are plenty.
Serious buyers are welcome to test drive, but test drives will only take place in Canberra. Simply put: I'm not spending time and money driving the car to Sydney unless I have a guaranteed sale, i.e. you put the money in my bank account and I will drive it up, otherwise no dice. It's a pleasant enough drive down here and you can visit Fyshwick while you're here for your porn needs
If you purchase the car then you will have also purchased all of the spare parts, and you must take them with you. You are welcome to inspect the spares before deciding whether or not you want to buy the car.
Modifications & Comments
NSW rego til May 2010, with plates that are probably worth as much as the car to the right person (you'll see them if you decide you want to test drive)
Red, somewhat faded in most places
Sunroof, that seals properly although it does rattle when open due to 1 missing screw.
Some panel damage around the rear end (sigh @ Sydney traffic), nothing drastic just bumps and scrapes, and no resulting issues with e.g. the hatch.
The interior has seen better days, not a disaster but not well looked after
Go not show, so well looked after mechanically, e.g. replaced the gearbox a couple of months ago and the steering rack was rebuilt less than 2 years ago.
Receipts going back years, for longer than I've owned the car.
CA18DET, T28, boost T, FMIC, pod filter, 3"dump, 2.5" stainless exhaust, Microtech MT8 w/4-line handset
M&W igniter & VP coilpack for ignition system (FAR better than the factory ignition setup, running for about 5 years without issues)
Tuned by and dyno'd at Unigroup, best sheeted figure 167rwkw. I didn't see a single CA18DET make anything close to the same power at the SilviaNSW dyno nights at Unigroup. She's quite a surprise package.
TRX Bluebird rear end swap, i.e. 4-wheel disk brakes
NSW engineer's cert for engine swap and rear end mod
16x7's front, 16x7.5's rear, Bridgestones with 80-90% tread
Aftermarket alarm, central locking and power windows
A stereo & amp of some kind, who knows, I'd rather listen to the engine
Plenty of spare parts, too many to list in full even if I could remember them all, but including gems like a complete set of seals, door glass (both sides), a factory service manual and a passenger-side front quarter panel with factory undercoat on it, i.e. never fitted to a car.
I actually don't want to part with her, she's a magic car and crazy fun as a daily driver, but I'm getting too old to be driving what is, really, a pretty silly car - the first to drive will buy methinks, she's a lot of fun. I'm so not looking forward to driving the gf's Barina everywhere :/
And now some photos so you know what you'll be getting.
