Meets are open to everyone :)
Pop down and meet a few other SXOC members and see some of there cars. The Welsh lot are a friendly bunch :nod:
Insurance wise you best bet would be to try a few of the specialist broker types.
A-plan
Sky Insurance
Adrain Flux etc.
Unfortunatly insurance prices vary from person to person, as everyones circumstances are different. Different job, parked in different locations, different levels of NCB's and driving experience etc.
So whilst one insurer may be cheap for one individual, for another they could be stupidly pricey.
Ring round, them all and see whats good for you.

Thanks, will do aint got the sx yet but im looking at a S14 as i said, seems nice and stirdy got a little mx5 at the moment Yellow (IF youve seen a yellow 5 with an exhaust) Thats me, only 2 of them in cardiff and im the one with the zaust :P want to get rid of the 5, bit too girly for my liking and it attracts too much unwanted attention (check me fiesta out init) etc :<
Any ideas on prices for a S14 IM looking at 3000 for a decent below 70k miles so far is that right?

£3k is a fairly decent budget :)
Mileage isnt as important as you think.
I would rather have a 100k+ example that has been looked after by someone on here, than a low mileage one that may not have been treated so nicely.
If you don't skimp on the servicing and use good parts they go on for ever :nod:

Yeh, got a bit of a phobia of 100k miles seriously, never had a car with over 95k because i really cant do 100k. theres nothing wrong with it but i really cant do it i dno i think its a illness :O

Thanks alot for the offer guys, and i will definitely be there my only day off that week so was quite lucky i popped in ere :P and im definitely getting 1 but i need to find decent insurance, debating whether to go NON-touring for the s14 then convertin the front if its possible, my cheapest quote at the moment for a 20 year old on the 200sx s14 touring is 1623 quid which isnt too bad but still a tad too much, id be happy with sorta 1200-1400.
Dno if ill get that tho, but im 21 in september so hopefully will drop, untill then ill drive my crappy little 5 round lol :P See you all there :D cnt wait and thanks for the offers of going in ur cars if that is possible, id love to see what they are capable of, but im going on the drift scene.
Actually got into it from a member or two from the site, Mason (200sx 1.8 s13) and Jason Supra, dno if they still use this :P
Hi Alex! just a little point,you say you may convert the front to touring! Thats not the difference!
All touring means is that you have a passenger airbag sideskirts and leather seats!
The difference you refer to is s14 and s14a (Pics below) in my opinion go for what you prefer,but if your buying an s14 to save money but want a 14a then the front ends are about £600-£700 plus the work and spraying,it'll be much easier to save the extra grand and buy the 14a in the first place!
Hope this helps.Paul :thumbs:
S14

S14a
http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=63072&stc=1&d=1247954433
or a third option is to buy either of the above and put an s15 front on which will make it an S14.5 (But this'll cost £1500 plus) :eek:

Hey mate big thanks for the post but i was wondering if you could answer me briefly on a quick question, im not bothered about swapping front bumpers or anything i just want the headlights (badboy style) i always call em, i like when they are dipped is it 700 just for the lights n bonnet :<?
Just noticed now also, the place your at i went to a cruise before when jason/mason invited me up it might have even been you lot, where we stopped at that car park for a short while before hitting built wells
Hi Alex,yes it could of been us lot :)
To convert from s14 to "Bad Boy" :D 14a You need the following -
Bumper/bonnet/Lights/wings/Bumper bar,and the headlight connectors are different too,so not a very easy job! :thumbs:
VIDAL BABBOON
19-07-2009, 20:01
I would go down the route of buying the 14-A from the start.
The price difference between a 14, and 14a is so minimal, that you really are better off looking for an 'a' to start with :nod:

Anyone selling 1 with decent mileage hehehe :P
If your considering an s14,cardiff scums has only 80ish on the clock and is very solid and low on rust (they all have some sadly)
And the front is the only bit that needs attention so perfect for a 14a swap when you get funds :thumbs:

Gents, I should be at this but it may be like 2.30ish so I will give Richy a ring to find your location. I have to complete some work on a bloody smart car in the morning, and I dont like to start when I am still pissed.:D
I will fill the estate full of the s14 shite I have in the garage so hopefully it will be of use to you. My plan then is I can get a bike in the back of my garage behind the 200 ;)
O
I will hopefully be able to make it down to catch up with you all :thumbs:

How can i check just to make sure Loosie (the name of my car) is not overdetting a little?
Gents, Is there anyone with a spare as in kicking about the garage, road legal tyre standard s14 size 205/55/16.... Its for the mondeo!! Hit a brick in the carrageway in cardiff yesterday!! And I am too tight to buy one, I am off to have a root about in work today so I may have something.
I have several tyres in the correct size. Let me know if you're still needing on Sunday and I'll pop one in the car.
Jim, your a legend, I am sure my left over standards are all marginal/driftable.
One would be lovely, I will bring some beer tokens

Speaking of parking with nearly 20 coming, I think its an idea to look at the potential locations.
1. = the multi story, top floor sunny day is perfect :D
2. = Centre of the bay nice food, bars cold drinks, chairs very nice.
3. = Was going to be my first choice of parking thinking we'd only have 5 or 6:wack:
4. = Never been or seen this before but worth a look if 1 & 3 fail.
And if all that fails Fecking IKEA for Hotdogs:wack::D
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b263/GAV200/Cardiffbay.jpg
:sxoc::sxoc::sxoc:
Number 2 is sounding the most appealing.
Food, bars + cold drinks! Oh and apparently a selling point for you lot chairs! :wack:

If thats what its going to be like, I'll chuck the socket set in, remove and carry with me the Recaro out of the Ford :D
That game doesnt sound very fun tbh, after about 10 mins I'd get bored looking at an immaculate engine bay and prob wander off :wack:

Chris could you park the van up at J33 and jump in with someone?
Well if you will drive a Hi top:D She deserves a rest after doing quite a few miles recently anyway and the 14 needs some tlc so I'll pass this month :nod:
Anyway Quite a few up for this:eek:
Apparently not me or Lum though? :p
It looks like we may even turn up in a 200SX ;)
Well, maybe not actually. What with catching up on missed sleep and insurance companies and lawyers I didn't get around to dropping it off with Buffy until late.
So what's this about it being good for photography then anyway? Anyone remember where the entrance to Torchwood is? ;)

Sorry did I miss you off , I just skimmed through the thread and picked out names probably others I missed off:o:D
But yea if we get the cars parked up have a chat , take a stroll round the bay I'm sure theres loads of spots the photo people amongst us can find ,with the buildings in the back drop etc we can bring the cars down a few at a time or somthing like that:nod: I dunno just see how it goes type thing:D

To be fair those tunnels are lethal in the wet :nod: the amount of crap that's on the road just makes it slippery as hell when you add water.
Drew is blaming it on lack of talent, but there were other factors involved as were backed up by the witness being interviewed by the police (clearing Drew of any idiotic antics also)
Terrible shame Drew,:( it suprised how well you took it TBH, $hit happens, good to see you both came out ok though, could of been alot worse :(.
Thanks to all who pesevered some terrible weather to make it to this meet, good to see you all again, even Rasta man who spent most of the afternoon trying to find us.:wack: ......Sorry mate:thumbs: .
Beerbod , Mason,philsx & gardie even made an appearance:eek: Good to see you guys.
Weather & Full car parks put a real dampner on things TBH, and as expected made enjoying the cars difficult.
