    it's alive :)

    spent the last 2 weeks getting my 200sx back on the road ( after last years failed attempt resulting in a dead clutch )

    it works and by 'eck its fast.

    the new tubro is a bit laggy but as soon as you hit 4k , somewhere in the region of 320 angry horses kick in

    Oh ive already got ideas, just gotta sort out the issues first

    On tuesday its going in for service, and to sort out the exhaust/ possible VVT rattle/try and find out what the noise is, and work out why it seems to be drinking coolant!

    Also need to get the A/C regassed.


    Then FMIC is going in, along with a new exhaust system, then prolly should think about doing something about the brakes!

    Re: it's alive :)

    I might borrow it at some point

    had a club weekend up at Prescot Park Hill climb - when I'd sobered up on the sunday I did a few climbs , which was great fun , just waiting for some pictures of it.

    My 3rd run was a bit if a failure as the CAS came off as I was going round the last hairpin , launching itself at the photographer

    thankfully nothing seemed damaged and I managed to scrounge some bolts to get it back on and get me home at a reasonably sedate pace. It was a good shakedown though
