Re: My mint SX
Ja, I put a 63mm full system on and I also fitted a 550x180x63 front mount intercooler without moving the battery. I took out the windscreen washer bottle and just filed the water filler hole slightly bigger and ran the cold side pipe through there. Fits lekker. I bought a windscreen washer bottle for a Mazde Midge (a Golf one will also fit) and mounted it on the firewall on the drivers side. Works perfect, but no water for the back window. That doesn't really worry me. The brakes are very k#k, for sure. I am fitting a Megan radiator from the States and a 4 button clutch with a GT2860RS turbo to my SR20 and that is it. The only other upgrade I will make will be the brakes, but that must just wait a bit. Expensive business, this flippin SX200!!! Cheers.

Re: My mint SX
Maybe. Only problem is then Twakkie can't put anymore mileage on it. For future value, low mileage. So, Twakkie, park hom in die garage en maak hom toe onder n seil.

Re: My mint SX
I need one of those!
I keep mine under a regular car cover, but after a few months all I have is a car covered in a layer of really finely sifted dirt

I hate car covers, they don't work well and scratch your paint. But I guess it protects it a bit from the sun if the car sleeps outside, so its a compromise....

Re: My mint SX
Hahaba i like bubbles. well low mileage is not going to be an option. i'm a student and i use the car daily. i bought it to drive it. like these ladies that get these chines cutlery sets then they end up using it only once or twice in there lives coz its expensive. if that was me i would eat off it every day, you only live once.

Re: My mint SX
My point exactly. A car is meant to be ridden, not stuck in a garage, and changed the way the owner wants to do it. That's why I sold my 330I and bought the SX. It is mine and I can customise it the way I want to. Twakkie, ry die kar tot hy uitmekaar uit val, soos ek met myne gaan doen. Pas hom mooi op, maar gee hom gas!! Cheers.
