I had one of them when my cossie was being repaired once, give £200 for it, wasnt fast as it was boosting at 3psi but still a great laugh and i sold it for £450 so cant be bad!!!!! Stick an intercooler on it and wind the boost into the sky

The thing is it looks like the guy has spent a lot of money.

There 135 bhp standard arent they ? It says 150bhp in advert so he may of turned up the boost a little already ?

What other cheap mods can u do on these ?

That ones got an exhaust too.

Biggest thing to do is fit an intercooler, as they non-intercooled as standard.

But the usual stuff really, can be made properly quick cars.

Only a T2 as standard, but could fit an S13 T25 if you limit out the T2.

Its a CA18ET engine, ie a single cam version of the CA18DET (more changes than just the head tho) from S13 200SX's, and they can be fitted if you wanted with a few mods...

How much would i be looking at approx at an intercooler ?

Dont wanna spend to much as the majority of my money goes on the saff !

150 bhp might do me in a fwd. What 0-60 time should i expect with this power ?

Intercooler? 30quid for a 2wd cossie one, and whatever it costs you to bodge some piping together.

Spending money is for chumps

God, I couldn't face being seen in one of those. Everyone would try to flag me down on a Friday night or break into it thinking there may be some alcohol for my off license in the boot

what other changes are there then as there are the cut out in the pistons for 16 valves, so by looks the head would drop straight on, mate is well in to them, he has 2, getting ready to put the CA18DET into one of them for even more fun in a proper sleeper.
