Maybe wrong forum but let´s try...

When I search for CA engine parts at US sites I need a US sold car with the CA.Please help me out, the S13 in USA is 240sx and got KA, in Sweden we call them 200sx and they got the CA stock.Over here we can only find the CA in S13 but you probably got another car.

Aaah, no DET? Nice when you search for pistons, cams and stuff.

Thanks c-rad!

One more question, is there any nice coil/plug covers available in US? Like Alu or Carbon?The stock plastic one is soo ugly... Probably easy to make one buy maybe you know of a GB or something?

Pretty much the entire fanbase of CA users are on this board. I am sure there are a few lurking elsewhere, but if it exists for the CA, you would probably see it on here. AFAIK, there are no covers available here unless someone custom made them.

Ok, that´s what I thought. I Google´d it and found nice CF SR20 covers, damn SR guys, they get all the fun stuff!

Hey Swedish Mike, I am located here in Germany and sometimes you can find stainless steel covers over here. I forgot where I saw them last but they are available.

You might wanna browse around the SXOC board for a coilpack cover. It seems like they have a lot more support for the CA there then we do in the states, and they have people who make lots of custom parts and sell them.

Why would I hate you for buying 200sx? I bought my whole car for 400 euro, a complete CA18DET motor for 100 euro with 90,000 km on it It even came with the turbo, a/c compressor, alternator, p/s pump. So don't hate me HA HA. If you are ever in the Frankfurt area stop by!!!!!!

We are actually going down to Germany in a week or two, my friend want to buy a Miata...We got problems cause we can only speak Swedish and English, the German guys often hate to speak English... But we´ll try, done it many times before but always with a translater by my side.

I don´t know why by German and French guys don´t like to speak/learn English.On the other hand, the never need to learn, they got all the US movies in their language (we got subtitles) and most of the people travelling to Germany can speak Germanishishish.

This is my guess.
