( to by a manual one, the one i was gonna get though got sold the day i sold mine! doh!!!) the rest broke!

In that case the next thing to fall off it will be the gearbox, oh and don't wind the boost up any more, it will make 220BHP but probably only once
There is one on ebay now ready to go for £250, all the links get posted here. Someone did the looking for me!

there really wasn't any silvias about when i was lookin though. just that one on pistonheads, i rung the guy up and he said somebody was coming to buy it that afternoon. doh!! a bit late now
 like i said though, i'll more than likely get another one in the near future, in he mean time i'll just enjoy laughing at the boy racers as they're pride and joy gets a whuppin by an old man's land barge!!

I gave up my first Silvia for one of these. Not trying to put down your new purchase, but I had quite a few problems with it, and it wasnt all that fast. To be honest, I would say it would be beaten hands down by a Silvia with a few basic mods.
Some honest advice though, Do not EVER remove the top water pipe on the rad (the small one on the right that goes to the turbo.) Seriously, take it off at the other end or something, as the bit it connects to is plastic and snaps (hand on heart, I went through 6 radiators in my time of ownership, as they all have the same problem.) Dont wind the boost up, they really dont like it, especially the later ones (with 'Injection' written on the inlet manifold, instead of 'Turbo'.) Dont try too many hard launches, the gearboxes are made of cheese. And watch out for brake fade. Other than that, they are a fairly cool sleeper car.
