I thought it would be kind of cool to have a thread of cars people drive here. I'm slightly curious. :)
Here's mine.
1998 Nissan 200SX S14a - 2 litre turbo intercooled SR20DET blacktop engine, 200BHP, rear wheel drive, LSD.
Still standard. I've had it for a week and lorry backed into it whilst parked. Rear quarter panel repair scheduled by insurance company. You can just about see the dent on the fourth pic. Broke down same evening with fuel pump trouble. Replaced that now with an H-dev walbro equivalent pump and runs really well.
Next up is moving the horrid orange front indicators to the sidelamps (bit of dremeling and fiddling). Remove foglamps. Remove UK number plate plastic brick and get a jap plate (what's supposed to be on there anyway). Clear side indicators. Some blue LEDs on the dash, standard looks like sticky tape bulbs lol. Get touring spec front splitter and side skirts. Respray wiper arms. That will be it for the next couple of weeks as money is tight. The 200sx badge on the boot is now removed. Front badge will be as well, but will need filler as it will leave behind pin holes.
One or two bits to come in future. Hopefully in future Stage 1a which should equate to 290-300BHP. First handling and weight saving mods when I've got some money. Been wanting this car for the good part of a decade. Full service history as well. Pulls very hard. Very happy.
What can I say, a dream come true. It's every bit as good as I thought it would be, even at standard. It really brings such a big smile on my face, and really gets my blood pumping. I can just stand there and watch it for ages. Beauty. My favorite car ever.
