Hey everyone,

Iv been miata less for almost a year now. Aug. 08 I swapped my miata (took out the greddy kit)Attachment 204903 for a 96 nissan 200sx. It was a sweet car i must say.

Super sleeper! stock looking but a beast under the hood. It was faster then my basic greddy set up. anyways..In april, i got the 200sx painted and three days later i crashed it into a guard rail. (worst day) It was all my fault. Wet roads, bald tires, wasnt being careful enough.

So just a couple of weeks ago i bought my previous miata back. I kept most of my parts when i sold it and saved them just in case i were to get another miata one day. So i started putting everything back together. Nothing Special but it was fun. Mounted the intercooler a two days ago. And took some pictures.
*Hope You enjoy*

Looks like a different car.

Ohhhh i just re read what i wrote. I thought i wrote somehting in there about the paint. It was paid by me. The previous owner just parked it. He said he was saving money for it. The paint job cost 1800.

Did you do a full bluebird swap on the 200sx or was it just the stock sr20? Stock = slow, bluebird + more boost = amazing. I installed one in a car and was amazed how quick that stupid thing was.

Naw. It was sr20. Fastest time was 14.2 all motor. I was satisfied. I was getting a nittrious kit together before i crashed it but. I never got to try it out.

That included a complete color change- under hood, jambs etc?

The FUCK IT IS....

A local here has a stock SR20 200sx with a hack-job setup running 12psi. He puts 6 - 8 cars on low 13 second cars... Spinning the tires through all of first, second, and half of third. That car is a fscking rocket ship and I'll get some video next weekend to prove it...

Yup! They Replaced a fender, hood, rear bumper. They painted under the hood. door jams. Its was okay. They over sprayed some things. But its alright. I still think its expensive.. haha!

I think theres a lot of potential in the sr20 too. The stock internals can take a good amount of boost. From what i read when i did some research
