Welcome from Leicester (200sx new owner)
Hi all, I believe that buying 200sx will give me a lot of fun and joy.
To make a short story even shorter:
I am a massive Japanese cars fan. So someday, I was looking for a new toy, searching the market for many like S2000, DC5, RX-8 (this one I actually own), RX-7, Chaser, etc.
And one day I realised... Hey! I did not even look for Silvias :) So, a quick search and Facebook showed me an interesting example.
2 days later, I bought it. I was not even planning to get this car, but I loved it from day 1 I have seen it.

Pretty much stock car, only coil-overs, brakes, exhaust are changed.
She is from 1997 with 93k on the clock.
The underside looks very solid, with a few spots of tiny surface rust.
To me, it looks like it was fully resprayed (the previous owner had no information about it, so I cannot confirm)
2 days after I brought her to the new home, I had a chance to go for a ride, a proper day out in marvellous sunny weather.
Well, oh well, I was not expecting that from this car...
I drove through the city, and people been taking videos of the car, then I stopped on parking to get some beers for the night today, and guess what? One chap asked me - what is this car? I have never seen one like that in my life...
The smile on my face got bigger and bigger. Since then, I watched people passing by; I could not believe I just bought a head-turner. Alright, Alright, Calm down, Tommy :)
Later on, I have given a chance to drive the little beast by my friend - he has also fallen in love with it.
Sorry to take your time reading this; I can't resist saying how I enjoy driving it.
I plan to make this car outstanding, meaning technically as good as possible, and make as few as possible mods to increase the power to around 300/350 bhp. But the standard 197bhp still puts a smile on my face :)
I may be posting my own topic to document the whole work, which is waiting for me soon.
All the best! And many thanks for your time to make this forum available for us!
PS: Just wondering if anybody can recognize this car to be in ownership, maybe one of the forum members?
