Okay, on this thread I'll discuss the actual build of the 200sx. If you want to help with my motor build, I'm also in the z32 chassis section where I have posted motor-related questions. Why? Because my s12 uses a vg30de motor as a power plant. The z32 chassis guys will know
Anyway, for stage 1 there was a VG30DE motor from japan, with accompanying transmission.
Anyway, there was some work done, but here's some more views of the motor
And the car's wheels-
The s13 front end we used for the Tien coilovers-
Why the stock trans mount won't work if you use the DE trans, but we fixed it with a solid transmission mount
Where the trans won't fit, and you have to bang it around
S-13 hubs, or the saga of why I got s14 brakes and will be using cross-drilled slotted rotors ect. ect.
An image of the motor first starting... sexy times!
And the full (as of now) build video.

4. Corbeau racing seats???
5. Complete vg30de engine rehaul (as soon as someone really knows how to build a vg30de motor around here or elsewhere).
6. The rubber choice-
