MadMac,
and what are you saying about not getting a very good cossie for under 5k? are you saying that all sub 5k cossies are absolute shit, cos i'd be very offeded if that is the case.

Nah what I mean is you would be very lucky to get a decent one for under 5k as compaider to an under 5k nissan, ie- no rust, 30k on the clock and in mint condition.

Nope, mine is going in 1 peice - ie as the car was intended so back at you
I just need to put the rad and bumper on and all will be well, so once again for good measure.
why was i going to break it? Cos i didnt want to see anyone else driving my car around, but its easier to sell it as a whole.

Anh- Jus fuck off mate, nobody cares, your here just to argue and talk shit, and you drive a heap of crap that nobody likes but you.
Frankly ive never seen any saff that looks half as cool as the pics above, but thats my choice and i respect anyone for prefering saffs, up to them, i love saffs too.
I dont have to be all gay n blinkered about it and go on and on about cars i know nothing about, just becuase someone has a different opinion of whats good n whats not.

Who's slagging what car down? .... I didn't. I compared the 2 cars using facts. Fact that the Sierra Cosworth shares the same parts and chassis as the basic 80's Sierra. Fact is the 200 sx is a far newer flatform and most likely a far stiffer body (for anyone interested in making it a great handling car.)
Fact is the 200 sx (S13 ) is LIGHTER than the Sierra by several dozen kilos and make similar power. What's so insulting about that?
Where's the slagging off, SteveN? ?
And er, I don't have a problem if you or anyone else not liking MY car, but it seems you HAVE a problem that I DON'T like the Sierras as much as you do.

Well take my point about just fucking off then mate, there no reason for you to be here, you dont like RS's, nobody likes you, just leave 
With both cars standard or almost standard, S13s dont make similar power, and dont have as good brakes, not as good handling apart from the late S13s either, they ARE lighter tho.
I love S13s, id prefer the look of Bladeys Orange S13 to any Saff ive ever seen, but i know the difference mate, a "stg1" S13 will ge totally mauled by a "stg1" Saff Cossie, and trust me, weve had that race plenty of times in "testing" round here.
With the parts available, ultimatley i do think you can make a S13 a better car than a Saff, but we not talking that, we talking std or almost standard 5k cars that the average joe with not a huge about of knowlege will own and mod.
With talking 5k cars thats a S14a, which IMO is a far better car than a 5k saff, equal at almost everything, better in everything else, and shatloads newer.
Looks etc is debatable, rest is fact.
But when it comes down to it, its only idiots like you n the other 1 or 2 going on, its OPINIONS your all blabbing not FACTS, so just give it up...
Whats with the "SteveN" bit? Am i meant to be amazed or somthing that you know who i am? Everyone does, even that Haribo on the GTR site can work that out and hes 15 ffs

but if you put 2 cars up that had the same power (say my stg3 on lowish boost at about 280bhp and a stg1 saph which is about 280bhp) it'd be a different story.
no point argueing it though, i know what i prefer and thats all the matters.
also, if the thread starter was seriously interested in a comparison he'd have put this same thread on SXOC.

I wonder why you havent once refuted these facts, maybe because you can't.
I havent made any opinions on any of the cars, the only opinions I have made are against certain members, and you just decided to put yourself in that frame. Just because I can tell the difference between the SX and a Cosworth, you find it in your own head that I am anti RS.
You really are starting to show how serious you take things in message boards.

And one final thing, if you don't like what I say, don't tell me to leave. If you don't like what is happening within a thread then YOU can leave.
Yes?

I post the truth about when people are talking crap with regard to "fact", not opinions.
Like when they was going on about cams and they had no idea what they were on about, it turned into an argument, but i was right.
The recent post on anti-lag and launch control, i jumped in before too much bullshit was said and was fine and people thanked me, but if idve left it for all the people to talk rubbish on it, THEN posted, itd look like a lecture...
I get more repleis to posts via PM on there than on the board as most people agree but too trashed to say anything on there as they haven tgot the bottle to be different from the clique in there...
Stuck in their ways to some extent, just like the RSBB and here used to be with their RS500 spec blinkers, used to get loads of grief for saying about specs which are remarkably identical to the ones that are everywhere on cossies now. I was right, people just didnt see it past their blinkers.
Either way, your going nowhere fast going on and on, its safe to say nobodys listening as this post is dead in the water mate.
If you wanna carry on like a lil kid, jus do it by PM or summat so everyone can ignore it, inc me, and let this post die in dignity...

has to be the 200sx s14a for me, newer, lower mileage, cheaper to mod, more modern looking, cheaper insurance, more reliable
only reason id go for one over a saph is beacause it was built as a sports coupe in the first place and not a normal everyday runaround car like a sierra, cossie is still a great car but if i look at it sensibly you can pick up low mileage s14a's with full service hisory for the 5k
and there is a good forum friendly on the 200sx like this one
