My Red 200sx SE-R

Well since I have gotten my 200sx I have been here a lot to find advice on how to fix several things that were wrong with it when I bought it. So here is my car now that I have finally sorted everything out and am getting to customize it.

Here's my Car When I bought it


Painting the Trim and Grill


Now


My Engine when I got it


My Engine Now


My Stereo Setup


I wanted some new Rims, Black, but I don't have the money - I'm only 17 so I painted mine.


Interior Lights


I know it's not everyone's "cup of tea" but I like it I hope you do too. I'll try to get some day interior pics up later. Any comments or suggestion welcomed. Thanks.

not bad, funny you painted the trim, the matching trim comes on the se-r models and the lower se model got black tim. Not a bad start though.

I like black accents, I did the same on my 280zx. It is kinda funny though.

honestlly, with that red, I think the black door gaurds actully do look better then the color matched. not a fan of the grille though. I'm just saying, it was available on the HIGHER models, but however, he "downgraded" by doing so, even if it did make it look better.

looks cool....since you have black trim and a black grille......I would think it'd look cool with black halo's and black corners.

Looks good. If you're into DIY's, a little light tint might look good.

Actually I ordered some Halo's I'm just waiting for them. Corners as well. I haven't thought about tinting yet, I should look into that.

HA....thats cool.

I just thought of this also ......as well as tinting, maybe painting the side skirts, that small edge on the front bumper w/ that crease line and below black as well.

Maybe take a good straight on side shot, and photoshop it to see how it would look. But just a thought ...

And possibly smoking the tail lights to blend better with the black on red scheme....and even smocking out the fog lights .....

All just idea's ......

P.S. Clean up your battery terminals ....and the interior looks nice & clean.

Thanks for the idea's. Smocking the Tail Lights sounds cool. Do you know how you would go about doing that? If that's legal to do here I think I am going to. My Engine bay is still getting worked on but your right the terminals are aweful.

I'm thinking I need a new battery, my car does this thing in the morning when it's cold where it almost dies when I come to a stop but doesn't then revs back up to 1 grand on the tach.

Anyways thanks for the idea's I'm always looking for possable things to do.

Thanks I'm still workin on the Engine Bay, the picture makes it look a little better than it is. Anyways here is my latest project that my dad and I did yesterday since it was a nice cold snowy saturday.

Yay Snow! ...not really it gets old quick. I like to snowboard but still... anyways I'm off topic.


My old system removed


2 10-inch Xplods


All my Supplies


My dad cutting the board


Finished Product


Still gotta work on the wires


It sounds awesome and it cut the weight in half from my box to the 2 boards. My headlights are suppose to be here wednesday. I've been considering painting some of my interior pieces, opinions on this anyone?

Hey, the new sound system set up is pretty cool.

Are you leaving the rear seats, or taking them out ?

See that piece above the rear deck speakers ?? You should wrap that in a black vinyl, or even a carbon fiber vinyl. Scroll down a bit,,,,and youll see the reupholstered rear deck.

Painting the interior pieces ....like all the trim ? You can always purchase a trim kit for like 100 bucks ( bdtrims.com has a good assortment ), and there's always other companys out there. If your gonna self paint, use the search feature. ( to tired to explain )

Anywho, keep up the good work....

P.S. If your doing stuff like that, take a stab at replacing your door panel inserts.... Check it out here, again scroll down a bit.

I'm thinking I want to leave the rear seats. I bring my girlfriends little sibblings places a lot so they are nice to have for them. I have been considering doing my inserts. The amp in the trunk floor looks awesome though. I can always ditch my spare and do that. If I can talk my dad into it. That looks a lot nicer.

I was thinking I would paint the trim red like my car if I do it. Maybe just the piece around the temp. controls and radio, the gauge bezel and door pieces, you know with the window controls on them. I haven't decided for sure though yet.

So I made a list of what I want to do to my car, however with my dad not letting me do much performance wise I have a feeling it's gonna be a lot more show before go as the say.

Lower it about an inch, I don't want a huge drop just a little.
Halo Headlights
New Brakes, maybe an upgrade? Mine are pretty shot right now
Clean up the engine
Interior Customizing
Exhaust - Headers and back
Considering an aftermarket grill


I'd like to do some ignition stuff but I don't know much about that yet. Like in my 280zx I had I bought a better coil, wires, and advanced the timing a little, but I don't know what I can do in this car.

That's my plan. Nothing huge like a turbo, after all it is my daily driver - thus I don't want a stiff ride all the time. Just a small drop to give it a more menacing appearence.
