bin the top mount off, no point in repositioning it just get a front mount kit. Always liked these cars, gearboxs are prone to failure at around 300bhp, also big wheels can cause headaches, some people say keep with 15's some say 16's are the best.

Hope it all goes well with it.

Here's one from passionford.com.....

My mate in work had two, he said the mpg is shocking. Not sure how good they are to drive, but I know they're fast (and have four seats).

Thanks guys, any hints appreciated thumbsup

The spotlights were painted black for some strange reason? well i`ve cleaned them up now and they look a lot better.

Also painted the lettering on the tyres to take the eyes off the crappy wheels laugh

The cleaned spotlights look awesome mate. Mad why they were painted to start with.

Also, an idea for wheels (may or may not agree), theyre fairly expensive and rare, but a nice set of white 5 spoke compo's?????


Have you thought bout Mudflaps as well (Colour etc)...once its all done, they really help finish the look off, as well as keepin the back clean thumbsup I know a lot of people dont like them tho to be honest

TBH Id be quite surprised if it didnt leave you for dead raftl

They are 225bhp std, with 4WD.

Very very similar SR20DET to my old 180SX, though the diff/gearbox reliability is questionable at the 300bhp / 300ft/lb mark and on the roads they have a tendancy to understeer.

Ive driven a few - very quick out of the box, but Ive always thought they where a bit unentertaining to drive frown

If you need any help with the motor.... wink

Very nice Toto, im with you on the tyres tho, the white writing looks cool.

Just keep hold of this one for more than 5 minutes.

White alloys would look smart and a FMIC would be a beast. Headlights look fin imho, what about just some eyebrows for them and a new grille.

Bit stuck on this car at mo as its not registered yet, need time to goto DVLA, work work work at mo frown

Don`t worry, i`ll be keeping this as well as my MR2 smile

Cheers stuey smile

Like the idea of the white alloys (spinkings alloys are real nice) something similar to those with a deeper dish would be cool.
Gonna see if i can get a bonnet pod for spotlamps but after the MOT as i think they will fail smile
