Shock. SXOC user leaves S Bodies. Does NOT get BMW

[Scottie]

Good choice.

[Hugh Janus]

did you buy it from Norwich?

very nice looking motor btw

[Oreos]

Awesome dude. I wanted a GTR with my money but I went for the 180sx purely because of insurance purposes.

[jimbo]

Good choice!

You're not the only one that's gone non-BMW:

Pointblank - Ultima
Cheekee - Jaguar XKR, tuned to ~600hp

Although I doubt very few people remember them now.....

[arry]

I remember them both



Nice choice Pi - wine red has aged really well (see what I did there).

[MEL]

Ban him for not buying a beemer

Lovely colour, there was a local wine red one near me until recently. Lovely motor

[jimbo]

I remember them both

Twas fields as far as the eye could see back then.....

[skyshack]

There was a time long long ago when nearly every 200SX was bought as a stop gap while saving up for one of those.

Thanks chaps. This is Red Pearl Metallic but it looks flat thanks to the phone.

Thanks for all the kind words. Off to pop it on a proper ramp tomorrow to really understand if anything needs attention.

[pointz]

definitely best shape skyline imo

Those names take me back, two names from my local meet! And you for that matter jimbo

Are you still in contact with those guys then?

PS Just so this isn't totally off topic I love your GT-R, Ryan. And wine red - best colour IMO

[sx rider]

Thanks again. They are Rota GTR's so you can imagine they are close to the top of the list of changes incoming. I will get some more pictures when I find someone handy with a camera, I gave up all my gear.

There are plenty of little gremlins, mostly electrical, to be expected with an old Japanese car, but they are things I will sort shortly.

cool, what wheels are you thinking?

Red Pearl Metallic. But thank you mate.

i have my eyes on those TE37's in the for sale section but they're a bit rich for me this month. I have a cam belt to do and some other tidying first.

[Pete C]

Red Pearl Metallic. But thank you mate.

Sorry, I was just going by what I remember the colour being called in Gran Turismo 4

[MEL]

They're a good size for a 32

My old nt03's were the same size iirc and they were off a gtr. Sizing was good - not 'stanced' but a very good fit

[Maff_1991]

Can we stop talking technical poo for the minute and have more photos?

Thanks

I think TE37 Sl's in Gunmetal would look great but they are big monies...

Not so much Pointblank, but still see Cheekee for lunch every now and again. As well as the modded Jag (he's going for 700bhp) he has a track Audi TT that he just took out to the 'Ring (10min 37 but it was his first ever time there).

200sx are no go to me now with 3 kids and 1 on the way - Merc R500L next for me I think, can they be modded? :-D

You still in Bath Pete?

The R32 is the way to go for Skylines - should appreciated now they can go to the US as well.

[jimbo]

aah.. stupid double post....

[piman2k]

I'm going to a classic car meet tonight, I'm hoping someone will take some pictures. I've sold all my camera gear so I am limited to an iPhone these days.

Of course, there will also be a mildly detailed blog as I tinker. Starting with cleaning up.
