hey guys, just thought i'd but a few pics of my latest little mods i have done to my 200sx..i think i have mensioned them but havent actually put any images up so people can have a little look.

Firstly is my Mocal oil cooler and filter relocation kit...rubbish pic of this one sorry

Image

Secondly is heat wrapping my manifold, turbo elbow, downpipe and decat

Image

Image

Image

and finally my new big brake conversion - 350Z brembos

Image

Image

a final pic of the old girl as she stands

hopefully these mods will aid my car when i decide to do a few more track days - also fitted some white line ARBs.

last major mod is the suspension...havent made my decision whether or not to go for coilovers or just adjustable dampers with my eibach springs :?

Maybe just get some Tein/Eibach springs..........full coilovers may be too stiff for you but I'm not going to teach you to suck eggs :D

eibach springs are on it...was thinkin of jus upgrading the dampers for koni or kyb

either that or maybe go for the apex performance comfy coilover

KYB or Kayaba are 99% standard damper rates (or always were) Apex all the way if they are your choices :thumb:

Looking really good but are the breather pipes not a bit close to that toastie manifold!?
All the mods are going the right direction for some track use now Rob :-D
