A1 was nice 
I remember being out on track with the 200. Can't remember what car I was in, but you let me past fairly quickly.
the reason I let you passed and the reason I got rid was reliability I lost 2 engines in 2 months due to jap reliability and drifting putting so much wear on the car! I have always been a hatchback man Loved my A1 and my GTI both ended up with a mag feature and such great cars to drive! thanks for all the nice comments

Care to explain? SR20's are pretty damn bomb proof.
Yup nissan engines are quite reliable.
Did you freeboost to 50psi and it went bang?
Looked good though.

In standard form they are good, but damn, my mates had 2 engines in 2 months too. His was only lightly tuned too

They ARE reliable lumps. What failed on his two engines?
DC2 TypeR / E36 328i
Big end bearings on one (less than 100k) and the other one went in running fine and started drinking oil after a few week.
I'm a fan of the S20, but every 200sx owner I've known seem to have had troubles with the motors

B/E tends to be fragile on the CA but not the SR. He's just been unlucky. As you know i've owned, have mates which still own and regular on the forums. It's not common.
sure thing Tom, I have the bottom end go then after a rebuild it went again still not sure of the cause but it was expense i decided to do without I really enjoyed drifting and still do but the wear it puts onto the cars and the key elements of it caused me to think again, i think its a great motorsport however trailers are recommended
have alot of mates who still run 200SX's for drifting and are still pouring money into keeping them running or working correctly (maybe i just got unlucky) it was a monster miss the powerSeen the S14a for sale a few months, probably coming to 9-10 back!
But FP that A1 is fooking stunning.
