Couple pics of my car - NON-VAUX WARNING

[ScottB]

Thought i'd whack a couple pics of my S14 up on here whilst i was at putting it up for sale over at sxoc. Started out as a standard car 8 months ago but is now running 310bhp(FMIC, Stage 2 HD chip, Nismo injectors, Filter, exhaust, colder plugs, walbro) at 17psi on the standard T28, coilover suspension, paddle clutch and a 3inch bore un-silenced ASBOlmao exhaust.

Putting it up for sale as just fancy a change really, and the fact the paddle clutch and stupid loud exhaust get on your tits with largely town driving. Not sure what next. Maybe an Impreza STI RA(Tathan style), although ironically this may be even more unsuitable for town drivinglmao . I did consider a E36 M3, but everyone has M kitted E36s, which lowers the allure even if you have the real thing. I have a feeling a RX7 will turn into a moneypit, i cant afford a Supra TT, maybe a Skyline GTS-T. Decisions, decisions. Anyone in the same boat feel free to make your own recommendations and why.

Anyway heres my car ATM.

Nice car mate, sure I've seen it on SXOC.

[Tathan]

Oooh, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really get moist for S14s.

[ScottB]

Tathan - i'll take that as a compliment! Hows the RA around town?

Seriously starting to consider a 2wd Sapphire Cosworth now too.

[Tathan]

Ummm... it's interesting to say the least. Got Cuscos and a paddle clutch, but it's manageable. When it was standard it was fine, pretty much the same as a stiff mondeo

Something to note about RAs is that they don't always have the STI suspension. If you can press a wing down an inch or two, then it's got throwaway suspension (because as a Group N car it'd be getting aftermarket stuff anyway) and it's a bit cack. Some had STI struts (mainly MY97 onwards) which IMO are the best you can get for road use.

Cossie's nice because everyone should be able to say "Yeah, I had a Cossie". Won't lose any money either, but a nice early STI RA shouldn't lose much either.

Cheers for the info dude.

Know what you mean with the around town comments. Paddle clutch, coilovers and a completely unsilenced exhaust aren't a whole heap of fun for me either. Sounds sensible, but with my 95% of my driving being low-speed town driving, it really does start to grate after a while. The 200 is quite long geared too, which isnt my preference.

P.S Matt - I'm a member over at SXOC so you probably have seen the car over there .

Nice looking car there....
If u end up getting a new car i'd recommend a r33 GTST as they are soooo lush

Just read your post again and saw that u;ve got a fmic on it....How the hell did u fit it on without it being seen? My otherhalf just fitted one to his skyline and had to cut the front of his bumper. Doesnt having your bumper in the way restrict the air flow into it?

The 200 is quite long geared too, which isnt my preference.

No such worries with an RA then... lmao

[ScottB]

The FMIC is huge and if you look closely below the numberplate you can see it fills the whole mouth of the bumper. Ill get a better pic up later. Gotta shoot now.

[ScottB]

lmao at Tathan. Heard its one of their characteristics.
