As all of you know i got my hands on a Nissan 200sx S14a Touring
after looking at loads for sale, this one caught my eye.
After a few messages i decided it was well worth a look so i organised to go down on saturday.
Arrived at a hella nice house in Greenhithe, Kent and met Kam the owner. had a chat, and took me for a tour and then we headed for the garage, where he proceeded to explain why he was getting rid.
"i'd love to keep it, but i just dont use it because of the new car"
garage openned to reveal a Porsche 911 sitting next to the s14.
needlessly to say we did the deal and i set off back to the midlands. can't wait to get to work on her

After driving it for a couple of days, the first things on the list to do are wheels, and coilovers. the balloon tyres lose alot of the precision the chasis has to give. and the suspension is far too soft lol. just imagine a speedboat accelerating and youve got it
i feel it needs a bigger diameter exhaust - the mongoose apart from looking terrible, its quite small, and its limitting it
A front mount intercooler is a definate too
that being said its got enough power for now, and i wanna focus on setting it up to drift - and making it look good while it does it
