After selling my old hybrid to Andy P i bought this to replace it (which Andy is selling - someone buy it and get a great car! :wink: ) -

I wanted something a little less hardcore to drive so when my bosses mate had this up forsale i bought it. A standard 99' 200sx. I got it rather cheap too baring in mind its the rarest colour combo in Black with cream leather.

After a couple of months i got bored though and after being a member of www.sxoc.com for a while decided to get modding. So its now at stage 1 with a filter, full 3" exhaust with decats, fmic etc and about 290bhp through the rears. 8)

Not quite as hardcore as a clio, but what do you think?

They are beautiful cars! Especially with the leathers. I love 'em! Were you considering de-spoilering to have a go at drifting?! 8)

Cheers for the comments! :)

Andy i'm getting there. Its just working out corners tbh! The hybrid just sticks and you keep it planted but n/a mean the pull is smooth. This thing if you keep it planted you'll spin especially if the turbo kicks. A 40ft lb of torque increase in a second isnt good! lol. I'm just keeping it in 3rd for all corners as the mo until summer when i can really test.

The supprising thing about these cars is nobody really seems to think theyre that quick? I always get why didnt you buy a scooby, evo gt4 etc? When the thing is, i've taken all of the just named down..I even went past a stage 1 R33 Skyline the other week. Granted it was a GTST though but still 350bhp + U should have seen his face... :lol:

Nah i havnt had it down the strip yet but it is pretty quick. Standard as you say theyre a big pile of crap! But with a few choice mods its a different car.. 8) The induction noise from the turbo is rather loud...lol

Havent been down the strip but i'd expect about a 13.5.
