I quite like them

Would recommend them to anyone who wants a fun RWD car... easy to tune up too. Just maybe a bit bland looking as standard...

Cool

200bhp, RWD, LSD, no traction control. Yes I like mine. Lots
Subtle looks but that just means that nobody noticies you, including the old bill, till you put your foot down.
I got mine on a 97 P plate with 40k on the clock and HPI clear for 5 grand. Not a lot of cash for a lot of car.
astraboy.

I've bought a 99 S14a 200SX while I'm waiting for the insurance company to pay out for my destroyed scooby.
Agree with astraboy, its quick and its subtle and hence does not get any negative attention and I love the sideways action. I tend to find its a much better motorway cruiser then my MY02 and it gives better MPG. Oh and the leather seats brighten the interior up a load and give it a slightly classier feel.
Probably going to end up running it for a year and then make my mind up on what to do with it.

I bought mine 98R 45000miles lowered to the deck,tinted out for £6000 it also has a front end brake convertion.
I had to service it and noticed the plugs n filter need changing every 54000 miles so on went A HKS induction kit and HKS plugs.
The initial pick up has improved and it makes that lovely sucking sound.
Coming soon!!!! Blitz nur spec R exhaust,Hks boost controller and Cusco or Nismo strut brace.

where are you getting your new parts from?

try bren on sxoc, he offers a good price and delivery

I should get some new alloys for mine but dont like paying big bucks for tyres as they tend to wear out quickly
