I am coming home from a shoppette run the other nite and I see a nice silver MB convertable. Now this is a bigger one, not like the little SLK or CLK ones. I pull up closer to get a better look at it cause it has wide tires, but no badges. Upon closer inspection it has a quad exhaust, two chrome ones on each side, and from what I could see at the time some huge rims also. I get a light behind him in the left turn lane onto the B3 which runs fairly paralel to A5 near my house. I notice him looking at me in his rear view mirror. Well the light turns green and he squeals the tires around the corner onto the B3 and this thing sounded GOOD, nice high-tech grumble in the exhaust and I think "Must be AMG?". This surprises me as I didnt think this older dude would do this. So with a grin I follow him around the turn where there is a light about 400m up the road. Due to a few other cars on the road I cant get next to him so I pull up behind him at the light which is red.
He is still looking back at me in the rear view and has a little grin on his face. So while he is looking at me I point at him, he nods his head and gives me a nice rev. So I do the same and I get a look from the people stopped in the lane next to me. Now I know he is going to go for it on the green. Well the light finally turns green and he peels off. I take off pretty fast but not to hard as I was afraid I would smack the rear of his car. I can tell he is giving the thing all it has, I am staying right on his a$$ through 1st and after I make the shift to second I have to let out of it to keep from rear-ending him, but the way this was running and sounding I know this was not your garden variety Benz as I did have to work a bit to stay on him. Now as I am doing this I know its his a$$ if I have to keep letting out of it. About the top of second I guess he realizes the futiliety of the situation, he pulls to the right lane and I roll right past him, noticing some side vents on the fenders. I didnt just let out of it right away, I ran it through till about half of 4th and let out of it and made my turn and went home.

Sweet kill. It would've been murder in the 1st if you would've activated that's for sure. Never should've rode in your car at the last OSL. Me wants some now.  J/K

At the moment nothing. As i said we rebuilt that sucker quite some times.
The only two parts it need is a new seal/gesket at the manifold (rattles under pressure from the turbo) and a touch up on the hood (paint dull over the turbo)
It´s a 91 (12/90) S13 200SX with the older more voluminous bumpers, red, 1,8 16V hairdryer with 170 hp. Electric windows and mirrors, 5 speed manual.
The car has roundabout 85k miles on it. The turbo was replaced in 2001, there is a new radiator in also.
Comes with 12 rims, a set of 4 225/15 ARCs with new Dunlop SP9000s on, a stock bare factory set and separate alloy rims for winter use. Little rust, otherwise perfect condition. My girlfirend rode it all teh time, so it hasn´t been abused too much. Mak an offer
