New guy from limerick

Well, the names Steve.. Took the plunge yesterday and brought myself a 95 180sx. It's more or less unmodified. Exterior wise it only has a set of staggered width 16'' Panasport g7's.. Engine mods are an unknown exhaust, apexi filter and a greddy type s bov. That's all I can see so far. Still even has the standard LSD. I'm big into the Honda's so all my car knowledge is based around them and N/A yokes.. I've always wanted a turbo'd rwd Nissan but its only since I brought this 180 i've realised how I know fuck all about them!:confused: I'll be more then likely coming on here a lot looking for advise

The plan is to turn it into a fast road car/daily drifter. So I'll be sticking up a wanted thread soon enough too looking for a few bits I'll need..

I'll throw up pictures of the car tonight.

Welcome along man... made a similar leap myself from a DC5 to a 180sx... Mine's a dedicated track car though... I constantly read that it's really difficult to have a daily drifter but some do manage it :D

Get some pics of your 180 up man!

my Honda is a 1990 cr-x sir. I'll never sell it. The reason for getting the 180 is I need a runaround because the CRX is goin into hibrenation for awhile.. I just taught what better time then now to try catch this 'rwd bug' I've heard so much about :D
