Hey,

I've been using this site for a good while now and taught it was about time that I got a bit more involved :wink:

The site is class, tonnes of information about just about anything you could want to know haha.

At the minute I'm driving an S14A 200sx, previously I've owned a Toyota Soarer 2.5gt-t an E36 325i and a couple of boring FWD stop gaps that aren't even worth mentioning.

Here's some pics of the 200 - She has a few bits and pieces done already but have some (allot) more to do :p

Welcome to DI :)

[batman026]

Welcome along bud. Thats a clean 200 you have. Some dish wheels and she'd be sorted

[boost-addict]

Thanks for all the welcomes :wink: It might look clean but a respray/wrap is in the pipeline, lacquer is coming off the bonnet and roof and it's wrecking my head :mad:

I'm going to give it a shot myself but when I try it I'm going to make sure I have enough cash to get it done professionally if (when) I get it wrong haha.

Out of interest, is there anyone on here that does resprays ?

Thanks :)

Thanks by the way !

[dbyrneae86]

Wish i had a twincam haha im still in school so im driving the mothers car!!
Some day though!!

[boost-addict]

Ahh, thats pretty unfortunate :p Start saving up :wink:

[steveonee]

Nice car.What was the soarer like to drive?

[boost-addict]

A boat :afro:........

Nah it was unbelievably comfortable and had buckets of power - It was just a big, wallowy, GT cruiser though, there was no changing that for me unfortunately.

I'd say with a diff, coilovers and a manual box it would of been a completely different beast but finances weren't to stable at the time so I can't give you first hand experience of that.....
What it was for me was a great big barge that would take me where I wanted to go in comfort, I had piece of mind knowing there was ~260bhp on tap when required and also that the available power was going to be delivered through the back wheels :cool:

It wasn't all boring times though, I did get her out on track which was quite fun - Had a reletively bad off which caused some damage to the chassis :mad: and no matter what way you look at it, track time with an auto is just asking for trouble haha... but it was still great fun :cool:

I've attached some pics of her on track.... and the aftermath of coming off :p
