200 SX???

I'll get my coat....:lol:

I do like the S14A but it'd have to be a touring. I think they look pretty good from the front and that's about it. But surely the point of having a second car is to have a more sensible car? Or does he want two good cars?

 

And Walesy, is that a learner's L plate on the rado? :)

 

 

Nope. Don't really do sensible mate.

 

A reliable 2nd car would be nice though! :)

I had one (S14A Touring) after the G60 and it was a very good car. Very comfortable, nice and quick, well spec'd and did 30mpg.

 

 

It didn't have the soul that the G60 had but it's got everyting in the right place (RWD, LSD, turbo, tunability). The body panels are paper thin though and the interior is very 90's Jap. I.e swathes of black plastic.

 

It was the perfect car to go down to Le Mans in though, esp. with air con.

My mate used to have a MK1 200SX (s13?)..... or the "silver bullet" as he used to call it. I personally think the old 1800 turbo engine was slightly sweeter than the s14's 2.0..... it felt a little fizzier and smoother....but laggier, although lag always heightens the excitement imo :lol:

 

His car had the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. You can really do schitt loads of miles in these cars and get out fresh the other end.

Seats aside, the interior is otherwise a bit ham sandwich for me though.

 

Good cars....not my cup of tea overall.....but RWD, Turbo and leather for a silly sum. You can do a lot worse!

 

You can also get Merc C43 AMGs for around £6K if you hunt around. They have to be experienced to be believed, crazy machines!

The CA18DET in the S13 is a good engine but they suffer from weak bottom ends which can be problematic on higher mileage and/or tuned cars. They're ace cars the S13's but the fact that they're so cheap means loads of Max Powers pikeys can pick them up cheap and tune them badly. They also have a tendancy to rot. Perhaps the ebst of the bunch is the Sil80, an S13 with a different front and the SR20DET lump from the S14. The 2 litre is much stronger and more tunable. The S14 came with a non-roller bearing T28 whereas the S15 (JDM only) came with 360 thrust bearings so it spooled up much quicker.

I liked my S14A but it wasn't a car which I looked back at when I got out of it whereas I'd always glance back at the Corrado after a drive.

here here Neil, hence why mine is gone :lol:

Yeah, that's the bewitching power of the Corrado for you.....

 

As said before, the C may not be the last word in performance, practicality or styling but something about it grabs you by the scruff and sucks you in....

Agreed, I was always dead set against ever having the same car twice (like going on holidays to the same place twice). Then I sold my Corrado.

 

A year later I am back looking for one.

 

:wink:

Agreed, I'm always looking in the For Sale section. The G60 which woody sold a few months back was utterly gorgeous. I particularly resented my long commute when that came up!

I'd rather a ham and cheese toastie.. anyone had a banana toastie or apple and cinnamon?

[DaveG40 0]

One wipped me in my G40 - i was not happy but made me realise their potential!

200sx is one of the easiest/cheapest ways to get yourself a good drifting car. I used to work with a guy that had one. Personally I quite like them, although the interiors are cheap & nasty the mechanicals are bullet proof like most Nissans.

You need to make sure you change the oil every 3k though, as the engines dont fair too well if you dont. A recon engine is £3k from APT Tuning in Norwich, and they are THE 200sx specialists.
