Yet another addition to my collection. And once again thanks to Nick B for spotting it on ebay. ;D £400 buy it now won the auction on Saturday night and picked up on Sunday night just 10 mile away from my house. It also came with a complete set of standard alloys. I have been using it as my daily driver this week and have so far clocked up just over 400 mile in it ;D and most of it with a daft grin on my face. Downside is the £80 of petrol I have put in so far  . I am really impressed with it and its much better than the S13 200sx which I used to have. No real problems with it so far although I think it is running a bit rich and the idle is running high when the engine is warm so will need to check that this weekend.     |

I am really struggling to get it to slide in the dry (ask tonycocacola). But slides easy in the wet but could do with an LSD. The dry grip I put down to the tyres as they seem a fairly soft compound and have been scrubbed from a couple of trackdays.

Got to admit I am not a big fan of the wheels myself but they were on the car. I will probably clean up the standard ones and bung some tyres on them once these tyres are worn down a bit more. Need to check and see what other wheels fit as I might have some others laid around

I know the car has had a partial respray and can only presume it was removed at that time.
Quite like the look with out it.
Got to admit although I really like the car I don't think it will be a keeper. It needs MOTing next month so I will put a years test on it use for a couple of month and probably sell it around xmas time. Not best time to be selling a fairly powerful rwd car with no LSD though ;D)

Really nice car! PM me if you do sell it Looks so clean for what it is. How quick is it? I always see these and wonder if they are any good, they certainly seem barginous. You should do a writeup! |

Quick update. Finished welding the sills 11.30 on Thusday night and took it for MOT on Friday morning, and it passed without even any recommendations ;D. Taxed it Friday afternoon then done 250 mile since then Even gave it a wash Yes it is. I think I am going to be putting it up for sale. I have a few to many projects and really need to make a bit of space so probably put it on the bay next weekend. |

Well its finally gone  Damn shame, but decided I needed to reduce my fleet and this seemed like the best option to sell. Knowing me I will probably buy another next week |
