Back From The Past ...

well well well .... I'm baacckkk

Well kinda

4 years after selling my '99 RS200z I'm back with a '01 RS200z L Edition
Just picked it up on Thursday ... it's 100% stock aside from having a Kenwood stereo head unit rather than the stock Minidisc/CD unit

I wonder if anyone is still around? XNickX and Greeneyes still here somewhere?

Hi to everyone else

welcome back.

yea nick and greeneyes are still here.

what ride did you have previously?
modded? or kept rather stock?

plans for the new one?

Welcome back,

Both are still around (although Nick has been on holiday most this year i think)

Welcome back! Pics?

Thanks all ... I'll sort out some pics shortly.

My last ride had the traction controll turned off, and some ECU/chip stuff done by previous owner, removing some of the limits.

Plans for this one, not many to be honest. Am older and have kids now so not too much 'toy' money new treads, replace some of the rubbers in steering and brakes (they starting to perish), and good flush of systems (tranny, power steering etc), but I think I will leave it pretty much stock.

Having said that though, some one dropped the bonnet on a charging system when it was in the yard, so the paint has cracked. So either I'll put a new bonnet on it, or maybe I'll wrap the entire thing in matt vynil (maybe matt gunmetal colour)

Welcome back!

Everyone makes it back here eventually! Xero has been and gone three times, so if you are wanting to keep up with him, dont get too attached to this new car, as you will need a third one yet!

I don't resent these claims what so ever!

Welcome back mate

Yep- still here, but in Cairns on work fixing up a rental house, so no i'net apart from the library every few days!

Came up in the KE70 with the seats removed & full of handyman's gear... 3 days of 700-800km a day! Greeneyes is still in Orange.

Are you still around Howick??

Hey all .....

AltezzaGirl ... You still got the Yellow Tezza?
Xero ... 3 cars? Really .... Okay well I'm not there yet.
Greeneyes, cairns ... Okay thats a wee way to go. Yes still around howick (same place actually)

Kinda strange to be back driving an Altezza after so many years, feels like I never left
Although this one is buttery smooth, no vibrations, smooth gear box etc sweet ride.

Okay so some folks asked for some pics .....

Mucking around tonight waiting for sunset


Shot with sunset (it's a silver car)


Bad bad bad baaaad swirls in the paint ;( ... I'll fix that with some TLC (wash, clay bar, ScratchX and Nano Wax and it should come right)


And yes, I've done the calipers

Didn't get altezza caliper stickers?

Car looks good mate, love that speedo shot!

Nah - didn't do the altezza stickers this time, am doing BREMBO instead

Thanks, i also love the dash shot ey.. he he
