1998 200sx SE-R - Current Modification List
[/size][/color]
*** Completed Swap - April 09, 2006 *** Updated 06/15/07***[/size]
[/center]
Introduction & Current Information:
This is my 1998 200SX SE-R. I bought this car in Dayton; after a little research on the SR20 Powerbox I had to have one. Small goals are to get about 160 whp by next Summer. The car now has 100,000 miles on the chassis. I have put about 20,000 of those miles on the new motor, and it is running great! The car is slowly becoming what I want it to be. I scrapped the idea of turbo'ing this car, and bought a b13 to play with. Again... my regards to all that have taken the time to take a peak at my vehicle... If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or would like some information, dont be afraid to contact me... My info can be found on my Forum Profile... Peace!
Current Progress:
154whp &
136ft-lb torque on Mustang Dynometer w/ Stock Cams!
Peg Leggin' all day! I've got JWT S3R cams in now!
