Title: Rear storage bins
Post by: cozzie on February 28, 2008, 12:09:15 PM
Does anyone know where I can buy some rear storage bins.
They came standard in Uk cars but are hard to find.
Is it just a straight forward swop??
Many thanks.

It is a straight forward swap if you have all the bits for the bins. The side panels are different.

I may have a complete interior for sale from a 98 RS-R edition very soon. Rear bins, Black leather recliners, side panels,carpets etc. Once I\'ve rebuilt the engine and stuck some other stuff on it I\'ll be doing a few test sessions and then deciding on a cage. If I stick the cage in then the full interior will be removed.

Best bet is keep checking on here for 2nd hand ones mate, but be warned they are propular and not that cheap!

Do yourself a favour, if you convince yourself that drifting an FD is a good idea, sell the banana and pick up a ****ter for about £3.20 and rip that apart. Believe me when I say from experience that you will seriously regret essentially trashing a decent car :2Rolleyes

Well said Rich, exactly my sentiments. What a superb car to thrash.

I would really like to do that Rich but the overall cost just wouldn\'t make it worthwhile after what I\'ve spent on the banana and what I could get for it.
Looking at the market I could get a ****ter for say three or four grand which would need a rebuild which will be £1500ish if I do it myself, it would then be a grand for coilovers, a grand for intercooler/charge cooler and rad , hyda handbrake or whatever, then another grand for a single tub conversion,another grand for a decent cage, £500 for a bucket seat and runners, the list goes on. I reckon I\'d need to spend 8 grand to get a bdc/edc spec car and I\'m not likely to get much more than that for the banana even with a rebuild, esp as it will be a home done one anyhow. With the banana most of it is already there, just maybe a couple of grand for cage and coilovers. I just can\'t make the sums add up to make it worthwhile building a track going rex from fresh. I reckon I\'d only save a couple of grand, but would have several months worth of work before it was usable. It may still happen as I\'m looking about for another 200sx at the moment; I don\'t want to only have the Rex as a drifter, I\'d rather have something more thrashable for mucking around in. Any advice more than welcome as you guys have more experience of whats out there than me but I can\'t see its possible.
