JamesG Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 After nearly four years of Supra ownership I've decided it was time for a new car. I'll be pushing my Supra off the nearest cliff to go down in a blaze of glory ...only kidding. The Supra is waaaay too good to ever sell. But the bit about getting a new car is true. I'm due to pick up a lovely S1 Lotus Elise this week. It's a deep metallic purple colour and has had extensive engine mods to bring it up to 165bhp. This means my Nissan 200SX S13 will be up for sale shortly. I'll post some pics and a description soon. I bought it off Aerotop Dave, so it would be nice to keep it in the mkivsupra club if anyway is interested! It's got a rollcage and adjustable coilovers so would make someone a good trackday car.

Ark Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I drove an S1 once - awesome fun. It did feel like it was about to come to pieces after about 75 though...still, all part of the fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesG Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Let me know how you get on as I am looking for a track car in the near future:) Will do. It felt very lively on the test drive. Not as fast as my BPU supra but I bet it would give a stock supra a run for its money up to 100mph. Handling was light and immediate as you would expect. Not sure about the brakes yet. They don't have a lot of assistance so I wasn't that impressed with them at first. But I did manage to lock the wheels under braking (no ABS). If you want a track day car you should buy my 200SX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
