i thought i might aswell hop aboard the project bandwagon.
started out by buying myself a totally standard 1998 200SX touring manual.
the car when i first went 2 to see it.
i didnt buy it at that price, but after negotiation settled on a tidy price.
(SOLD )
soon as i got the car back to mine, serviced it: Oil, oil filter, fuel filter, colder plugs, air filter etc..
fitted the following
Apexi air filter
boost gauge &manual boost controller
SARD R2D2
sprayed the indicators, repeaters and rear centre section of the light clusters black
next was to source some Advans. after much waiting i won a set on ebay 17x8 and 17x9
opened the headlight casings and sidelight's and sprayed the insides black, look so much better.

i found a original Hippo sleek front bumper on the sxoc, however it was damaged, got a good price for it, so fixed it up, sprayed the damaged part and put it on the car. (build quality is outstanding!!)
oh by this point i lowered the car on some Tein S-tech springs, tinted the windows and fitted a tacho with shift light.
short while after i sprayed my advan spokes black, and painted the calipers red and changed the pads
Next was to fit the Blue flame full exhaust sytem including both decats (at this point the car was pushing 256bhp, 220ft,lb at 12psi at SVA in kent). and shortly afterwards a Apex type 1 FMIC
shortly afterwards got my hands on a walbro, so i could wack the boost up to 14psi.....continued.......
