Spotted in my rear view mirror.  Looked very much like PeterWolds?

I was in a black 200SX :WaveBye

Cheers matey!  It\'s an Apexi N1, I\'m very proud of it !

She looks alot better when she\'s clean !  But you\'ll know all about that having a black motor too :Hammer

Very, very tidy look RX there, I nearly got one instead of the SX but ran a mile when my insurance quotes were all over £2k.  Â£700 for the SX, so my wallet is alot happier!

Were you at that big meet over in Hull a few months back?  I went over as some boys from SXOC and Jap-Club.com were going.  Seem to remember seeing a few black RXs there.

black looks brilliant polished but a sod to keep clean,had a white evo V before RX never gleamed when polished but stayed clean longer.
was at jap hull meet near humber bridge then at asda sunday beginning of april, 2 black RX\'s there,like 200sx rare motors
lucky on insurance age is with me £800 at 57 !!!!!!!!!!!!!,

Yeah, black is a bitch.  I got some "Bilt Hamber" wax to try and brighten up the paintwork a bit, it looks great but it washes off every time I wash the car.  Was thinking about some Swissol or Zymol:3Confused

How is your RX performance wise?  Is it as fast as it looks?

Got my SX up to 0.9bar, which is about as far as I can do with a standard engine.  Still managed a 14.3 at York Dragway though, and a 0-60 of 5.3s.  Just wanting more boost now....rebuild time !!!!

i use maguirs polish seems pretty good,tried ps21 (something like that from carsparkle) brilliant but a bugger to wipe off real greasy.

working on power got new induction kit hard plus pipes on, tomorrow boost controller and new intercooler being fitted,next week better exhaust then remap time.RX not as quick off the mark as evo was but once moving they are nippy,4 RX running 30th july at elvington TOTB one "dragon" is hellish quick did 9.62 recently so in with a good chance.
not had RX on strip YET

Yeah, I think I know what you\'re referring to with the "21" stuff, someone in SXOC used something like that, I think it\'s an abbrasive though.  The Bilt Hamber stuff is really greasy too, if you put too much on it\'s a bitch to get off, but not enough on and it looks patchy.   When you get it right it looks amazing, but as I say, it comes off again when you wash, I need something harder like a proper Carnauba wax.

Looking forward to TOTB, I go to it every year, it\'s great to see all the lovely Jap motors, it seems quite a few peeps are breaking the 10s now.   That\'s some serious power to do that....(not to mention the rubber!)
