Here's my second 200SX...

Pretty much had a complete respray, all rust cut from any sills, arches, behind bumpers, underneath etc and all undersealed and repainted underneath so it's back to being a new car, only better smile

Haven't had it on a dyno yet, but it's running the H-Dev stage 1a chip, which with my supporting mods should see 270-290bhp and a touch over 300ft/lb of torque.























Will get some interior shots soon.

Really nice apart from the dustbin under the rear bumper.
Get something else a little more subtle PLEASE!

lol, it does look quite large in the pics...and well, it is I suppose. But it's a HKS Hi-Power 409 and it serves a purpose.

Looks lovely from the side I think smile



Maybe it's an aquired taste wink

Nice to see 200sx being done so well. I don't like the big exhaust but in Jap cars it seems to go well.

Any ideas for the rea end- I always found it a bit busy back there, what with the big fog lights, rear wiper and generally busy look of the tailights - does not seem to go with the very aggressive, clean cut front on these face lift models?

Any shots of it going sideways??!!

Again, lovely looking example and thanks for sharing.

Looks like a tidy example and it's HKS + jap, you have an excuse wink

Looks lovely.

I remember seeing a beautifully presented 200SX in white on the Classifieds a couple of years back. It was £8k but I was quite incredibly tempted to buy it.

Cheers for the positive comments guys smile

As for the back end, colour coding the rear numberplate surround that's usually plastic has really cleaned it up I reckon. I am also going to buy a new rear numberplate without all the crap written over it and the GB logo as that'll make it look less busy...then possibly may debadge the 200SX.

very smart mate.

Have you drifted in it just out of curiosity?

No it's not a drift car. Used to have an old R33 for all that, but if I wanted to get into it again I'd rather pick up a cheap S13, weld the diff and slag it about that smash my pride and joy up for the sake of it. It's only got the standard LSD as well, would be no good for drifting anyway, only getting the back out now and again wink

Have to agree with the above on that exhaust, it's out of keeping with an otherwise tastefully modified car.

Needs a bigger exhaust, that one just looks puny.

Crikey, must just be the pics...in person it's doesn't seem that big. It's the same size as all the generic jap cans, nur spec r's, etc. it's one of the least restrictive systems which is why it's on there.

Got one of Bren's sensible twin exits on mine. A bit more subtle and not restrictive at all - mine's making over 300lbft on the 1a chip.
