chall Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I decided to get rid of the starlet, i wasnt feeling the auto and i couldnt find the time to do the engine/manual box swap. so i went for a change and tbh i'm very happy i did.., here's my new car1997 'R' 200sx touring! love it. so smooth to drive and very quick i was surprised. as for mods it only has lowering springs possibly Tein's and an Apex racing catback exhaust. its pretty clean just usual nissan surface bubbles here and there, she has 81K on her and a good SH folder came with it so all is good. It sounds very well nice barble and the drive home yesterday was quality with some rwd action on the "wanted" or "to do" list is some nice wheels and air filter/bov so just the usual. SO GOOD TO HAVE GEARS!! LOL!!*will take better pics soon, they're from the garage i got it* Quote
Ryno Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 looks pretty swish, had the back end out yet?! Quote
Mikey Jay Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Looks rather swishBit more comfortable than a Starlet too Quote
BenV Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 nice up grade fella, i'd love one for my next caris it a thirsty car? Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Nice choice, probably what I'd like to move onto aswell. Also that swirl effect for blaning the no. plate doesnt exactly work!Have you changed nationalities too? Quote
chall Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 cheers guys!! excellent upgrade from the starlet so much nicer to drive IMO and oh yes, lets just say it was an intersting drive home LOL GREAT CRACK!! it wasnt too bad on fuel i dont think and i reckon when cruising at 70 its alot better on fuel than the starlet but then again i did think the auto was more thirsty than the manual i hadit was my first attemp at plate swirl and if u can make it out its wrong anyway, the plates got changed before i drove home and the welsh badge came off in the first lay-by i seen Quote
Sparky Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 As said on TGTT I cant fault you for the move bud looks awsome Quote
chall Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 cheers sparky., it is def a worthy step up from the starlet. i had contemplated another gtir but decided on this instead Quote
StarletRick Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 another starlet owner gets a proper car ^^you wont regret it mate. even if the SR is a noisy prick of an engine. Quote
STEVO9000 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Nice I'm looking at upgrading to one of these or maybe an S15 in a few years when insurance is nicer and I'm finished with the Paseo lol Quote
chall Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 wee update, fitted couple things a while ago only just decided to get pics from phone.First, induction kit. Sounds good, gives a slight turbo chirp but need to block off the standard recirc valve to give "pidgeon mod". Anyone got a spare broom handle? loland next is an Apexi boost guagegot boost?night vision Quote

chall Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 Phil - the enjoyment i'm having with this car is unbelievable., esp with the weather recently! getting the hang o this drift malarky Sparky - I'm in the middle of fabricating up my own "kit" for the pidgeon mod. Hopefully my drive home from work tonight will be chirpy LOL Quote
tucka Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 nice car dude, nice gauges aswel i got the same, and a oil temp one too, look really good on a night! Quote
5T4R7ET N/A Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 nice sx. Rear Wheel drive FTW! Are the tourings turbos aswell? Quote
MikeN Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Thats a good looking car Was my first choice also when i was looking for a new car. Quote
chall Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 cheers for the comments!!yeh all UK s14's ('a' and touring) are turbo'd but jdm 14's (silvia's) have the choice of non turbo too. Touring is just added sideskirts, leather and stereo equipment Quote
chall Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Sparky., just for you! :surrender: lolOne recirc valve removed. winner, the noise off its mint. took it off last nite but aint driven it yet but revving her up sounds quality. here's a couple pics:and hopefully this works., a very small vid lol Quote
Sparky Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Awsome mate did you notice a difference in performance?I was messing about with mine and just blocked the vacuum, sounded good but seemed to struggle and dint hold as much boost Quote
chall Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 a wee driving vid it does boost better and actually holds 0.1 bar more than before. Gotta love free mods :surrender: Quote
Keifer1903 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 absolute porn! thinking of getting one of these once ive finished with the starlet! Quote
