Hi All

Im Mark (Woody) from Warwickshire.

My daily runner failed its MOT last week so i set out trying to find something to replace it with that would match the MOT repair costs! Found myself a great 94' 200sx S13 Auto. Its completely standard, for the age its surprisingly good condition with the exception of the usual rust including the boot rot.

This was intended as a daily driver but i cant resist doing bits on it. Heres some pics:















Ive owned various cars in the past, one i miss the most is my DC5



I do have some questions, there is the search button but if anyone is able to save me time...

- Wheres the best place for servicing parts
- The engine has a tapping sound under acceleration, is this common?
- Exchanging to Manual, ive seen the topics but what sorts of costs am i looking at?
- Stage 1 Chips. Seen these around for very cheap, is it really that simple?
- What drop and alloys can be put straight on?

Much appreciated,, thanks

Mark

Welcome to the club. Stunning DC5. Definitely my next car without a doubt.

Welcome mate

Car looks good and suprisingly standard. Hoping the knocking sound isn't too serious as could be a number of things

I'm sure you are already aware but the chips are a generic map for a set list of mods. Check out horsham developments on here or h-dev.co.uk for a better understanding of them

As for the suspension drop I'd go no lower than -30mm on a standard set up, their are also some nice rims in our "rims and rubber" for sale section right now. I'm not 100% sure on fitment as I have never owned an s13.

For a better response I'd start a thread in the s13 tech section

Love that dc5 by the way
