Well guys as some of you may know I have been braking my car because I was meant to be moving abroad to work. After talking to my prospective employer, it seems its not going to happen :cry:. They guy just hasnt got the money to get it off the ground :(

This has left me in the poop :mad:

I've now broken my car on the promise that i'd be going so imleft with only the cash i needed for my initial journey and a car thats in pieces :cry:.

So... I might as well try and put it back together :D, this is where i hope you lot could help :sxoc:

I need

An engine with turbo and clutch - Hopefully ive allready got this sorted
Rear camber arms - again i think i have this sorted too

Some suspension - shocks and springs (anythying considerd)
Intercooler pipework (anything considerd)
Intercooler
NSF headlight popup assembly and the backing brackets from the actual haedlamps

I am on a crappy budget so cheap / free is top priority :thumbs:

If any one can help / knows of any of these parts can you let me know?
I'm keeping my eyes peeled in the for sale section etc aswell :thumbs:

:sxoc:

Thankyou very much for that mate :)

But i dont think S14 suspension will fit my S13.

Hopefully Slider91 will come up trumps for me (and he is local too)

Again thanks for the offer :sxoc:

Ahh starks fella!

I think I have sourced one closer to home ;)

Thanks you for you time and help but please dont keep it on my behalf, also collecting it from you was proving rather difficult to arrange :(

Well just though id report back for a little update !

I got the car back on the road friday night and boy does it feel good to have her back :)

Thanks to lots of members on here for helping me with bits and bobs and advice :sxoc:

It runs like a dream, now maybe i can get my arse to a meet :wack:

I might be on the lookout for a prefacelift ECU though (one with the number 76 on the side i do believe) As i made a hash of soldering in a socket :annoyed:
I'm currently using a facelift ecu but its drinking the fuel :eek:

See ya all soon

Jony9 have your lambada sensor checked ;)

Well today threw up a nice little suprise for me.
(i knew the car had been cranking over slowly) Today i got in her to come home from work and it would not start :(
Good job i had some jump leads with me :D

Got it home and checked it with a multimeter / amp clamp and it seems that there was no guts in alternator nor battery :(

So a hooooj thanks to Rhys_sx for sorting me out with a alternator and battery :D
She cranks over perfectly now and charges well. Phew! i thought i was going to go mad!
