98 200SX SE model, 74,000 miles.. put 13,000 in less than in 6 months.

I started out with the suspension.. and i think i went the right way: Motivational's standard shortened Koni struts.. with Eibach sportlines.

HS CAI.. HS Headers.. Stromung exhaust.. Hawker "racing" battery.. and NGK shit.. got a Nismo shiftknob and some fake Nismo carpets. I love my car.. oh, and i've got Axis Mag-lites on it too.. i had Konig GT-Rs before.. dropped 10lbs off each corner:

Thank you,

I'm going to make two final mods to this vehicle.. short shifter and UR pulley.. if my seller comes through, psulemon is taking forever...

After that, nothing, especially no cosmetic mods

I hit 110MPH the other day

haha i remember that thing lol, i'm surprised it made it to the meet, lol kidding man, i like the new wheels, and is that dbhs?
no, that isnt dbhs, looks like lorebeer to me, that gay middle school near his house, but the car is definitely looking good, how thick are those tires, they look mean...also nice job on the car, looks like you are an avid follower of NPM, you have most of the parts that they recomend.
p.s: where did you get your shift knob from...the place i told you about?

Hey dude,

No.. i purchased it at Superior Nissan in Puente Hills.. that place had an R34 right in the middle of their showroom.. Blitz R34.. and a 4 door SKyline.. not sure of the name.

ANd yea, that was Lorbeer

Thought about getting rid of it for an '03 or '04 Altima, but instead getting rid of the wife's suck-the-gas-dry SUV. So, I'm actually thinking turbo.....it'll be a while though.....only gonna do it right, if I do it.

Hell, I can't get rid of mine....it's only got 69k on it now. That's less than 8,700 per year. ;)

:jawdrop: holy crap, did you repaint your car. i have the same silver, but the paint is stained to hell. how did you get the paint so clean. how low is that drop. i'm going with 2 inch drop, and i wanna use your car to give me an idea about the drop.

btw, its nice to see another silver 200sx SE, your car is simply stunning :thumbup:

No repaint.. i purchased this vehicle used.. i don't know the exact history, but i doubt the guy did anythign to it cosmetically. I took these pictures today.. but i washed and waxed the car just yesterday.. and it rained this morning.. but it still looked nice.

The drop is 2 inches.. Eibach Sportlines.. contrary to what a lot of people told me.. but if you put them on with Motivational's shortened Konis.. the ride is almost stock.

The car looks totally different with the drop.. you actually become proud.. and happy about your car.. once that horrid wheel gap is gone.

If you want more "control" of the wheel gap in the front.. you'd have to go with his full coilover setup.. it's pricier. It all depends what you want to do.

hehe, i used to think that was impressive too (before the sr :thumbup: )

love the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those wheels are my wet dream. mike knows (i rag on him for taking them off his car all the time) how do they feel? i know when i put 3 spokes on my bike it got very spongy and unsettling. is it like that on the car? like if you hit a pot hole where there is no spoke?

110MPH is only "impressive" to me because i drive a non-turbo GA.. no comparison to a stock SR.

The car feels different.. it accelerates faster.. and there must be a difference.. becasuse the boost in MPG went up about 4MPG.

About these rims.. i periodically went on Ebay and typed "axis mag-lites".. most of the time got no results.. or found a single rim/tire for sale. But i found these.. there were only 3 bidders.. the bid number was low.. and i was determined to get them.. after shipping, i got them for about 460. The guy that sold them told me his son wanted to get rid of these and 'upgrade' his to 17''s.. on his Saturn Ion :)
