I've wanted an S14a for a couple of years and always knew it's what I'd have after my corsa
(reminder)
So sold the corsa back in october and after looking at a few 200SX's I finally bought this one 2 days after selling my corsa. its a 1999 200SX touring 2.0L turbo (SR20DET) manual.
[
Was well chuffed with it, it had a lot of the basics already covered such as coilovers, electronic boost controller, blitz 3" exhaust system etc ( full spec to follow)
Took it to a CS meet and got some mint snow pics
Decatted it (this made it sound like war)
Since owning it I've just been sorting out all the little niggles (rattles) etc. Removed all the coilovers and freed them all off allowing me to sort the ride height out and with the help of some spacers I've got what, in my opinion, is a perfect fitment.
And finally for now, I've treated it to a new japspeed tubular manifold for xmas

Yep, I was very very lucky. Fortunately the guy was a retard so by me not sending off the V5 he thought there was no other way he could get it, so he said I could have the plate back as long as I sent off V5. Obviously that wouldn't work with someone with even mild intellectual ability!

And thanks for all the comments, got a few more goodies on the way

Circa 300 through Rear wheels + full throttle change on a bend when wet = scary 
Looking good

No chance, h-Dev limits you to a selection of oversubscribed overpriced parts! An they always set more towards rich as no engines the same. whereas with this it can be used with anything and after a base map has been done it's only going to be around £100 for map tweaks.

Update
Decided that the plate on the front was ruining the looks so until I buy a smaller one I've been running around like this...
..Much better!
Also spent the whole weekend achieveing this ride height, had to relocate the wiring loom and knock abit of metal about and reshape the arch liners with a heatgun but it was very much worth it!

Don't worry there's no plans for one. The boot lip has a sweet subtle kick on it anyway and the side profile is perfect without a spoiler.
As for that bumper...postage costs
