I would love to Ian, but i'll be in London working on my Nurburgring Video that weekend. If we get it finished saturday then i'll be able to go, but i doubt that is going to be the case, time just disapears when we are editing.

 

Jon, they run 205/55/16s, which are dead easy to find.
They also have no limiter on UK cars. I saw 145 out of mine on m private stretch of Dual carriageway once.

Great to see you still love your motors ive still got the sti 5 ra and could quite happily sleep with it so i know its hard to think what else could compare
on thrill level and sheer knowledge that you can out drive virtually anything so i asked myself the same question what else can compare on a sensible budget answer.

a. an early impreza turbo well driven you know what i mean
b. anything vtech just for the wring then neck out feeling
c. xjs v12 just to scare yourself but ohh yeh the fuel
d. 200sx 200bhp rwd + wet = fun

my vote 200SX with good set of tyres

Regards
Tim

 

Thanks. I may have found one at the right sort of price/age etc to take a look at, calling the guy in the morning to find more info. S14a touring on a T plate in Metalic Blue thats been used as an MD's company car so could be a good find?

 

Blue is a good colour - nearly as rare as black.

T plate will have the nice angry front on it too.

Look the dogs in white too!

 

John,

theres a guy that works next door (mechanic)to me flogging one for 4.5, All I know is thats its white. Very nice condition bar a scuff on the front bumper. I'd have it myself but no drive space

manchester BTW.

mail me if you want me to get you some details, as I'll probly not see this thread again.

cheers,

mike.

 

YHM Mike.

 

Also think there is a speed limiter...
soft speed limiter in the ecu at 162mph i think.

 

My boss at work found a speed limiter - 'twas a garden wall he went through backwards in his 200sx

I good friend of mine had one (nicked of his driveway by the supplying Nissan dealer) "allegedly - they only gave him one alarm/immob keyfob"

Anyhoo I often enjoyed driving around in it. It was a touring model and felt quite nice to drive..

 

PMSL They do sound like a fun car to drive.

 

damn it, now I want another one.

Just found the receipt for my old one...

March 2001. Green/Blue 1996 P reg with 60k FNSH, £3200. Not bad for a 5 year old car!

 

thats cheap!

 

John,


YHM back

 

For the love of god dont buy an auto!

Not a chance.

Well the Blue S14a was a ****ter.

God i hate buying cars.

 

It can't be easy being as famous and important as you.

 

On the contrary, its very easy as people do nice things for me.

 

Bad luck mate, but it could have been worse, you could have been buying my car
Keep at it though! They are great when you get a good un'
astraboy.

 

Thanks. I intend too.

 

Personally I think the S15 is much better.

It looks great and handles well, also is now 250bhp and 6 speed! A bit pricey though.

 

That the problem, it's a relatively cheap car i need right now.

Another day another nail anyway. LOL

 

what about a Soarer? they are tecnologically superior to anything on the planet thanos

 

i run a 200 sx s14a which stayed standard for all of 2 weeks if there is any questions that you need answering drop me an E-mail and i will fill in the blanks.

Thanks Tig'z

Just bought a Dec 96 S14a 200SX Touring, one previous owner, current owner for 4 years and it's in really good condition. It was only 2 miles from where i live, which is amusing after all the travelling to see some sheds i have done this week. I collect it on monday.







Thanks for all the help and info.

 

Nice choice mate!

Had mine for about a year, exhaust and filter make breathing a lot easier and eliminates a lot of lag in 1st/2nd gear. That's as far as I got apart from ICE mods b4 I sold mine.

Only problem I ever had was wipers coming on of their own accord!

Great cars, not much room for dogs though!

Happy driving
Dave

 

Just called the insurance company. £500 refund for the rest of the year and i am already 5 months into the policy.

Nice one John.
Shame about the dark green colour though *koff*common as muck*koffkoff*
seriously, you've made a fine choice.
Will you be drifting it?
