HIDDEN SLEEPER

sup

im looking for a unique car project after my monkey aka my 1G GSX got spanked by a neon.
I found that the nissan 200sx 84-88 is also called the (s12) 180sx in japan and silvia / gazelle in aussie.
silvia S12 US version has ca18e, ca18et or vg30e motors. In japan it had the FJ20ET which I heard
can boost supa power. S12 came in notchback and in hatchback ( it looks like corolla gts/sprinter tureno)
It shares the same suspension as the skyline GTS R31 and Z31 i think. Since its part of the silvia family
dropping a sr20det is possible or ca18det. The only bad thing it lacks aftermarket support but some S12 tuners
were able to push 200+hp (heard). The good thing its RWD and only 2600lbs curb. Also its really cheap like
$400-$600 the prices i saw. I was going for corolla gts but they are more expensive. Im aiming for cheap drifter
cars for now. this seems a good car ($600) to me to work on with a ca18det drop on priced around $1400 complete swap.
plus alot of ppl even never heard of 200sx (s12) excpet the 95 sentra base coupe 200sx. so when i pass ppl by
they be like saying wtf was that a corolla lol.

so what guys think? should i go for it?

fj20et 250hp

sr20det

why don't you put more mods into your GSX. those things can be crazy fast too.

exactly ... tune the gsx, i'm guessing you got beaten on top end (because your awd should have given you the jump off the line) so build up your top end and you should be set...

it's good considering the bang for the buck, but don't expect to get laid if the girls see you in it

Who cares when you got rear wheel drive and are drifting through corners???

If it were my choice I look at it this way: I drive a slow Civic now. If I get an AE86, at least I'll be able to have cargasms any time I damn well please [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
