First I got my car around 2002, 1991 Nissan 200sx with a ca18det motor, It was lowered on 16x8 and 16x9 all around, Crappy offset, Full exhaust system, Pod filter, BOV, Manual turbo, on lowered King springs. Nothing special but was a good base





Then I brought Some Lenso wheels before I knew about width and offset, A Genuine GP Sports Full bodykit, A stainless manifold + External wastegate and a GTIR turbo from a RN114 Pulsar, and some Turbo braided lines.[



about a year after my external wastegate blew off and I lost my licence for 3 months due to Demerit points, As soon as my licence was taken off me I though... Ill give the motor a freshen up with a stock rebuild. .......... The SAGA BEGINS!!

I purchased a "turbo kit" This consisted of a Ks' Rom Ecu, HKS MHG, HKS cams, HKS Camgears, Z32 AFM, Trust Wastegate, Trust Manifold and Trust Td06-19c Turbo,



Before any of this got installed on the motor I sold it haha......Brought some Veilside 18x10 and 18x9 Wheels, and some Rice tail lights....

Then in the meantime brought my girlfriend a A31 Cefiro, Gave her my wheels, And painted the car , Nothing flash but it done the job.

Brought some JIC Coilovers.... Started to tidy up the engine bay and "spray can" repainted it.

Brought some Gay-gues Then sold the Cefiro, And brought the missus a manual turbo 200sx also and brought myself some NZKW chinese seats, and some gay headlights Pics of block Rebuilt with Eagle rods and CP pistons,

Then Brought a Greddy profec b spec 2 EBC

few weeks later.... sold.... brought a prefec e-01 haha Put my JIC coilovers in the missus 200sx haha

Then we brought her a kit and got the car repainted with a front mount setup



Then brought some wide body gaurds for my car ... Finally more progress!!http://img407.imageshack.us/i/img0004zk ... 03qj2.jpg/

Then scored a Tomei Technical Trax 2-way LSD, Type X goodness , and a custom intake manifold running a q45 Throttle body,272 Tomei cams, and a few more bits....





[url=http://img63.imageshack.us/i/180sxtypex1ef6.jpg/] [url=http://img113.imageshack.us/i/newbitties006fq6.jpg/]





Then I brought some Garage-13 Headlights, They were s*** so i sold them hahaha

Brought some Work Equips , Got the panel work done and all primered, aswell as a dmax bonnet



Then I decided I needed to buy a run around... 1994 Mazda Sentia, 3l V6 RWD,

Threw on my Veilside andrew wheels... Had it for about 5 months then sold it... haha

Then... ( this just keeps going!!!!!)I brought some custom made japanese headlights semi popup they costed a pretty penny but ohwell.



and also picked up some 312/10.35mm lift Jun one off cams and a HKS cast iron manifold ( pic not of actual cams )

[url=http://img135.imageshack.us/i/wastegateflangela6.jpg/]Osgiken twin plate

HKS 50 mm

Genuine BomexKTS arms

Then the goodness.... Found this puppy on yahoo japan Hks Cast alloy iintake plenum... This was the one used on one of the formula 2 s110 Silvia super silhouettes in japan and then a week after brought that this popped up then got some FET coilpacks and a Yashio water temp gauge buddy club p1 limited edition seats



Not the real pics but i brought these same wheels, But mine are 18x10 and 18x11.5 0, +7 offset deep dish work vs-xx so they have twice the dish that these ones do

Somwhere there are alot of missing bits/pics and all....But yeah sold my gp sports kit, Brought a supermade kit, With supermade wide body gaurds, Ikeya formula Lower front control arms, Cusco strut braces, cusco c pillar braces, Rear subframe braces, Fender reinforcement braces, Cuscu rollcage, Hippo lined the whole interior whilest stripped, Stripped the whole engine bay back, Wangaan spoiler, Supermade roof spoiler, Put the work equips on my cima

Brought a house, Then the missus motor died, So just done her a full rebuild, Forged pistons and rods, Hks gt2530 turbo, Hks cams, Trust MHG, 550cc injectors, Full wire in ECU and a few other bits just about to finish putting her head back on and away we go, Will update with what her motor makes on the dyno in a few weeks time.

So mine basically sits no half im primer, waiting for me to be able to afford the paint to paint the thing and finalise finishing off my motor....

The fact that you have a 4 port, that intake plenum and throttles, and those cams makes me hate you in a good way. You must post some sound clips of that setup at WOT.

Im trying to figure out what color I should make the HKS logo on the manifold... Im contemplating the same red the car will be ( new mazda 6 red 3x layer pearl ) or just plain old black lettering....
On top of that I have had my whole front subframe powdercoated in a pewter grey/black.. looks really good... cant wait to get the engine bay painted and the engine back from the rally motor builder ;) f*** expensive titanium retainers are a must... so thats my next expense. On top of that the missus motor f*** out :( Rings seized up after 5 minutes of the first run :( so sad... So... We sold her turbo... Gave her my spare set of CP Pistons and rings and ditched her ACL ones. Sold her turbo.... brought somthing bigger.... haha... and its all under warranty this time should get it back in 2-3 weeks.
