Talking OT - Picture of my new track toy!

Recently got hold of this s13 Nissan 200SX Turbo, with 3 mates, £250 each.
We're going to fettle it a little and use it for track days, quarter mile and drifting.

Lowered, non-std actuator, and dodgy tints! We're going to spray it black all over..oh yeah!

Never really gave these cars much thought, but it handles great, and nice driving position too. Its also bloody quick when the blower kicks in. Oversteer is pretty catchable, contrary to the rep.

Had a bottom end re-build with the PO - for..
...are you sitting down...

..£300.

For anyone who, like me, prefers to use their Porsche just for fast road stuff and touring, this is pretty hard to beat for the money.

This is me before I span off, couple of laps later (I was looking for, and found, the limit!)

I do hope your are only going to drive it on the track and just in case you do need to drive it on the street the tints may come in handy!!!!!

Seriously though I hope it drives better than it looks (sounds like cheap fun though)

Jeez..that means I'm now a ricer, right enough.
Needs a cantoloupe shooter and some 19's I think..

JH, June 13th sounds good. I'll try and get there before breakfast this time...

AW, I think it has a certain simple charm..this is a better angle:
