no idea what 200s go for really
but a 7k scooby (about 8.5k+) is that price for a reason. lost value so much that it makes you think.
wouldnt put me off buyin the newer one though. although 350Z's im in love with at the moment. (and they are rear wheel drive)

Awsome car but I dont think your old enough for one of these yet jay. I like the RS500 idea obviously OR The AC Cobra - I know how much you love these and they are an amazing machine that combines extreme speed with excellent handling, and v stylish. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.roadcompanion.ca/edito/mag/articles/22119/AC-Cobra-427_big.jpg)

Its running 260 BHP at 0.5 bar or 7 psi boost, he has ran it occasionaly and on a rolling road with a bleed valve at 1 bar or 14.7 psi and this is where the 330bhp comes about.
Not advised really as the fueling does not match the air flow and we get melted pistons  A UK car will take 1bar all day, but an import is mapped differently, for different fuel  £7k is a lot for the car considering its state of tune, what your really paying for it the kit.

I was looking at the details and the suspension is fully adjustable, height and softness so it could be made to drive a bit more friendly.
I havbe told him that he is asking too much for the car. He is going to let me know if he becomes desperate for cash and reduce the amount. I think £5k is a fair price ?
Will keep my eye on this one i think......

The only problem with that, is that if you adjust the suspension, its no longer a drift car - its the set up that makes it what it is. Take away the drift set up, and its just a modified 200SX  As a drift car, it certainly looks the part - but it also looks very tidy Is there any evidence it has been used as a drift car, or has someone just slapped a load of rear camber on it to sell it as a drift car - has the handling been proven on it

On 5th gear, the 350Z was 1 sec faster round Ty Croes than the nimble, new, Audi TT

Theres a bit of chat about this car on the SXOC. Basically, if it was a Blitz show car, why is it only the FMIC that is made by Blitz Couple of the guys know of him, and apparently the car has been put together quite cheaply, with GRP bumpers (Copies of genuine Kouki items) and isnt in line with an Auto Salon show car General discussion on the SXOC is that it looks nice, but dont go there...
