So after a long time being without a 200SX and always missing it, I decided to purchase one again.
Meet "Shrek", a new member to the family. Rolling chassis I purchased from Andreas. Knowing how this chassis looks and its condition it was no brainer and a very good base.
Its been a very long dream of mine to do full circuit racing. Ive had a few chassis previously but things just never worked out. This time....it will for sure.
So this car will be a full track car! Will never see the road.
So keep checking up for some updates....

Motor setup for the car will be pretty simple at first.
To start of with it wil run a SR20DE motor, stock bore, ITB, high comp, Touring car cams, dry sump setup. Reason behind this is because I already have the motor, been in the garage for the past two years. It makes enough power already to be competitive in class B. Motor made just above 180kw on the fly last time checked. Will run turbo motor after 2-3 seasons and gun it for class A.
I will strip the motor, do a refresh on everything, dry sump install etc. Replacement of the pistons also.
