"Ok as some of you may be aware and some may not but i have sold the bravo and as of tuesday i have been a very very proud owner of a Nissan 200sx S13 1.8 Turbo its the executive model so comes with AC all electrics leather seats as standard. Car currently has a baileys bov full tien coilovers complete de-cat stainless steel exhaust system and lots of other bits and bats. Ive had to get new rear pads and i found out the caliper is siezed so im having to cut that off and get new disks pads and calipers. and fingers crossed the drums behind will be ok. So once im back on the road i will see you all at the M-E monthly meet in her. i will get some pics up at the weekend. As i only have ones in the dark at the moment"
sounds good
"Few early pics for a taster im going to try do a video at weekend if i can. due to the angle of the street light the front pictures havent actually come out at all haha but the ones from tbe back have."
"looking good there James look forward to the day pics. i cant believe you have only just got it now though how long ago was it when you said you were selling and getting one? but yeh welcome to club nissan "
"Finally cleaned the car today and so i took the pictures. "
"wow ! thant handbrake is high very nice.. any mods considered?"
"yeh im sorting the handbrake as i sort the rear brakes. im hoping its just an adjustment but with the issues ive had with the calipers i wouldnt be supprised if the rear drums are siezed too but i cant tell till the rear brakes are off and they wont come off till the caliper is cut off lol my main concern is just to get her road worthy first i need new rear brakes and new tyres but instead of getting new tyres im just buying some new alloys spotted some in Tadcaster for 120 no bids that are black with a chrome lip so i may go for them. i just want it back on the road asap as i got to tease my self for 2 days of driving it and now i can only look at it after that its a RR job to see whats going on in the engine once i have that knowledge i will be pushing her though the stages of tuning depending on whats been done already."
"is it missing a front headlight washer thingy? of is it just the angle that hides it?... its got a fair few issues with it james lol. but hopefully once you get her sorted she will be a flying machine"

"na its a 18-19 year old car mate its not expected to be perfect. Yeh its missing a front washer Jet but thats not really a drama as il get one of them simple and cheap enough if i need to clean my lights il just get out and use a sponge lol and the lights are hidden in the car and so cant get that bad anyway. im hoping to have her all sorted and the niggles ironed out in 2 weeks or so so we will see at the moment im just awaiting payday as i litterally have 0 in the bank as i had to clear every single account i have out to pay for the car haha "
