hi looks like disaters struck i had an accident the other night some twat drove into the side of me on a roundabout causeing some minor damage to the rear quarter and rear wheel insurance company might have written my car off for the minor damage although i dont know the outcome yet they might offer me to buy it back so it might still live will post up ;piccies of the damage to see what everyone else thinks as it really isnt bad but to the insurance it might be a write -off gutted:mad: :cry: :wack: :thumbs: :annoyed:

200sxslide
25-04-2007, 13:30
seems it might be possible to buy my car back off the insurance company and still have tidy sum left t so how much is an engine re-build and wheres best place to get it done or do i go for a second hand engine to save a bit of money and spend whats left on other areas of the car any thoughts suggestion please post them up thanxs paul:thumbs:

nitrodave
25-04-2007, 14:40
if you have the space, time and tools... pull the engine out and put it on a stand, then proceed to rebuild it. there are a few guides on how to do this, just search around.

looks like a good project, similar to wha ti'm trying to achieve - on a budget though ;)

good luck with it!

200sxslide
25-04-2007, 14:56
could be worth looking into mate ive got a garage to work in so seems do able ?but im impatient to have me car back running sweet and not leaving massive smoke clouds behind me so might go for the second hand option suppose ill have to wait to see how much the insurance couhgs up thanxs paul:thumbs:

where did Jason get the perspex screen from?

How much are they new? Are they easy to fit?

200sxslide
25-05-2007, 12:30
not entirely sure mate think he bought a sheet of perspex and did it himself not a bad job either

callum
25-05-2007, 15:46
Yer, I'd be interested in a perspex rear screen. The easiest way to better performance is diet the car, which is my first thing to do.

200sxslide
26-05-2007, 14:14
i agree ive taken more things off than ive added still it all helps eventuly if i ever get any luck would like to do some drag racing but thats a long way off yet :wack: :thumbs:

my engine finally decided to give up last thursday so it looks like i will be needing a new one after all so as i couldnt drive it at the weekend i decided to strip it and put things back together properly also started to strip the sound deading out of the boot got a bit carried away and ended up doing half the car now this is a slow and tedious job but some how i seemed to enjoy taking some of my frustrations out on it anyway more updates to follow maybe with pics if someone tells me how too do it :notworthy thanxs:thumbs: :thumbs:

also last nite coming home from tesco in the pooring rain:censored: took the roundabout a bit to fast spun :wack: and whent up the kerb and thgrough a fence taking out said fence .got out thinking id be crying:cry: at the damage but some how had only whacked the front bumper a bit and popped my rear wheel which now looks wel bent and is toeing in quite bad everything else seems ok .so got a mate to give me a lift hme (dont carry a spare ) picked up one of my spare alloys .changed it and got back hme driving on 3 15" wheels and 1 16" will check more later but that seems to have been a lucky escape one word of advice people SLOW DOWN IN THE WET:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Anyway back on track, how your new engine running? all good I hope :)

hi everyone after looking at my 200 sx over christmas it would seem that i need a new rear subframe, new tyres,new wings ,more rust to be welded,clucth still slipping ,loads more mods (to get a 13.0 1/4 mile 4 pro street ).so after having a think (yes it did hurt my brain)ive decided it would be cheaper and less time consuming to just buy a s13 with a blown engine and then just swap the engines over and all my other parts on to the new car my grey s13 will be broken for parts:cry:(ive got my eye on a white auto with blown engine near me :))so as and when all this happens i will update the thread with pics thanxs paul

p.s. if anyones got a s13 with a blown engine that needs work p.m. me thanxs :thumbs::Plug:
