The 180 SX made its debut as the hatchback version of the S13 Silvia, and was strenghthened by a string of modications until 1995 when it underwent whole sale operations. Its basic mechanical features remained unchange, but its styling was refashioned along more sporty lines. The front was given a new spoiler, the side step reinforced, the rear lamp founded, and a rear spoiler added. The top-of-the-range Type-X and the next-level down Type R feature the turbocharge SR20DET developing 202 hp and 202.5 lb ft. The basic grade Type S runs off an NA SR20 engine producing 138 hp and 131.6 lb ft. The tail control generated by the axle work is pleasure unique to rear-wheel drive cars. It is not a car that can depend on pure brute foce, so half of the fun is using one’s driving skills to get the most out of it.
