I'd alwasy fancied the idea of a 200sx , and my car at the time, a Rover 820 Vitesse wasn't as much fun to drive as it could have been.
I was introduced to the sxoc forums and foudn them a great bunch of people.
I also wanted to buy something that had most of the work done to it ( it works out a lot cheaper and less hassle )
the for sale boards yielded a few pre modded cars and the one I bought was the best value
