Its gone in!

[devonutopia]

The next time I drive my car it won't be the same!

Dropped it off at my mate's place tonight and picked up my runabout for the next few days or so, a rather pleasantly nice Nissan 100NX. 1.6 petrol, a little sluggish compared to the remapped TDI, but a nice drive, and very comfortable.

Oh, and removeable bits of roof for when the sun comes out! Yeah, I'm a poser!

[Xavier]

What's he doing? Fitting little wheels to the roof? How will that work with the "removable bits of roof" ? :confused:

[ADMotorsport]

did they give you a removeable roof for a reason j??

[WW_VRS]

That's cheatin' - it won't make a diff if you take away the roof, it can still go on it

:D

[Goochie]

I assume it's having a respray?

Or pikey mods ?

Or both ?

A new engine from a Fabia vRS.

Oh, I'd got the impression Jason was fitting that hiself - obvously I over estimated his mechanical ability

Think Jason is more of the resident styling guru

ok-now im interested, i want to hear bout this spoiler as well!!

Well, I'm going to help where I can, but I'm putting my faith in my mate's long term experience with engines and stuff - He did my cambelt change, by the book, and it was a good job too. He also access to a bit of trickery to give in-depth info regarding most makes of cars, mine included.

I can help with undoing bolts, when directed, and stuff. But I really just want to do some work on the ICE side of things, whilst the front end is my mate's domain. Hopefully all will be done and dusted by next weekend.

Hope it all goes well

Never heard of a nissan 100NX before, is it rare?

Not rare enough. Fugly bug eyed attempt at a coupe with about enough power to pull the skin off a custard. Makes the original Tigra look like a classy motor...

They never sold in huge numbers , but I quite like them.

Smaller of the three sports cars that Nissan sold at the time (200sx and 300zx being the other two) with a t-top removable roof and a 1.6 litre engine.

It was aimed at competing with the honda CRX but it had 4 seats rather than 2.

Not stunningly quick but fast enough for the typical owner they sold to

I don't think so. More common than the turbo'd 200SX I think. I'll get a piccie on here at some stage.

[pbirkett]

:(

[Goodas]

Dont remember ever spotting one, maybe they are more common down in Devon with that t bar roof

[devonutopia]

The one I'm using is like that, but darker blue, which I think looks better IMO.

Crap rear legroom though!

Saw a white one on my travels this morning. look ok tbh.

Who cares about legroom - I'm in the front!

You don't like it, then?

[devonutopia]

You don't like it, then?

I'm still in two minds. I will admit that I don't find it pretty, but compared to the prospect of driving a volvo 440, I'm damn happy with it.

I had a Sunny Coupe ZX which no-one seems to have mentioned. They featured the same engine as yours in 1.6 guise. But I had the 1.8 engine, same as the 200sx but without the turbo and FWD. My nan fitted a turbo though! Went very well. Oh and don't boot it, parts are scary expensive.
