looked this this...




the turbo went plopsy... so i chucked another one on it.. whilct i was there i thought i should make some nice inlet pipes


.
got bored one evening so made two dump valvess... how ****ing gay

then a horricfic front splitter... purely for a laugh







soon took that off... then chucked a set of evo rims on it..




then literally catapulted the linkg3 at it.. decided it was time to kill the engine.. but it didnt die. how annoying


and make a breather setup





and some fire



then got a BIG GAY WING



and since the boot was bollocksed made some lil strengthening things



decided then it needed some 18's and an arch tug.. and ten minutes with a lump hammer... daaadaaa







having a laugh with paint


started to strip it to paint it..



but decided an rb25 could be first in the que





..
used all skyline prop with the r33 diff and shafts also

damn right.. nothing usually fits properly so make your own!!!

there is no need to spend mega buck when you can make most of the stuff yourself..
end of the day 200sx's are a cheap proper car.. and thats how its gonna stay!!

[martinbattye]

i knew you couldnt resist the project thread gonna be a hell of a car.

cheers baaaaaaaa.. couldnt have done it without you tho!!!


this is owing to the fact that a nearly stole the car off rob...

[Messydan]

Nice to see you making things yourself, ill come have a look in the week.

You should leave the splitter on, sharpen the endes and find things/people you dont like, nom nom nom..............

[Rob_SX]

yeah, very right. I cant blame you for taking it when i needed the cash =/

its alright though as your gonna let me borrow it all the time right?

[martinbattye]
