Mine went some 8 years ago. Stage 3a s14a 366bhp nismo s tune suspension big brake kit. A Great road car that was. I had the car 10years.
I got out as we were planning a family so needed something sensible.... so got an M3 E46 (Actually is pretty good at doing the kid thing) had that 5 years.
Then another child and wife was driving it to work and moaning about petrol, so the plan was hatched. Went to 2 cars, bought a Mondeo and have now a have a Westfield kit car
Don't know why more peeps dont do this.
Literally buttons to Insure, don't depreciate, parts are really cheap and the driving experience is so much fun, as raw as it gets (aero screen).
Mine went in about 2006 I think :wack: Then I had the standard one for about 12 months ish before cutting my losses.
'Driving' a 2001 911 C2 these days - I say driving, because it's done so few miles it's barely worth having. Don't get time to drive. Then I have a Jag S type and a Golf GTi as runarounds.
More into my bikes these days.
Erm can you rephrase that. Sorry mate me and Caleini had the 2 only best engines out of RosenbergQuote:

It's one of my biggest regrets in life that I stuck out the whole SE Nissan thing as long as I did. As an older man I'd have learned to cut my losses a lot earlier and to rely more heavily on a dish best served cold than karma.Quote:

A re-map is on the cards - can't argue with keeping 50mpg, 260bhp and 510 nm of torque (as claimed by the mappers but trusted and recommended by the babybmw forum)
I really shouldn't but... '10 bmw 123d coupe, '05 toyota mk2, '94 Mitsi Evo 2 GSR, '02 Mini Cooper S, '13 Mazda CX5 "sport". Admittedly the last 2 are Bex's and she tells me I need to sell one of mine... There is also mother-in-law's Ka runabout that she never actually drives... Not all these live in a garage though!Quote:

Yes my S14A is in the garage for winter (owned 14 years) with a S14 for 2 years before that.
Daily’s a GT86
Well also, Michelle does have an Audi TT, a Smart for when she is doing Nursing rounds and a Kuga for when she wants to go Skiing... for gods sake lolQuote:

If i had a garage i would prob get another s14, although i am not short of space to park it i wouldnt be doing any work on it without a proper garage/pit now as i am far past the crawl under cars crap now.
Then again i have some lowering springs and hubcentric thingys to put on the Mx5 - just cant be arsed to do it. so prob not a good idea to get another car.
I want some hub centric spacers for OliveQuote:

Had an s14a - crashed it @ Brands Hatch, cut it up, sold a few bits and squashed what was left.
Got an e36 325 - barry'd it up, hated it no matter how hard i tried to like it. Broke it and squashed what was left.
Got a Stagea - loved it. The s13 bug put an end to ownership there after many happy miles.
Got an S13 - loved it. Got it looking how I wanted it, running how I wanted then sold it (regret!!!!!)
Got an E46 M3 - awesome car but never really fell in love with it. Sold it to Delboy on here.
Got a 1966 Amazon 121. Currently being V8'd and put on air by Dal.
Blast from the past :D
14a went in 2011 I think as I started to get into offroading and had a Discovery. Couldnt justify 3 cars at the time so the 200 went as i wasnt enjoying it anymore.
Bought a E39 530d as a daily, was nice but started to go wrong after a couple of years so decided I couldbnt be arsed fixing dailys so started to buy new.
Had 4 Focus STs, a Ford Edge (dont ask :wack:) and a Ecoboost Mustang. Just replaced that with a Full fat V8 one and have a Mk4 Mondeo for Fishing etc.
Still have my S13, it's still an absolute heap and still needs a fairly thorough restoration, and I've still done absolutely nothing to it.
Like the OP I decided to double down on my mistakes and get an Evo :wack:
I happen to have a pair of ultralite 15mm ones from my 14a lying around if you're interested?Quote:

Cheekee, moved onto Jags. He had a 700bhp XK which was a monster but now has an XF daily with a v6 TT for his ring car.
Pointblank is still building his Ultima.......
So nice to hear from so many familiar names, if not faces for some - I'm north of 40 now so the memory is not what it once was! Seen a couple of people recently whom I knew from here from years back and they've changed a bit!! Mind you, I suppose from their point of view, so have I (and not just the beard!)
Lol! No MoT on mine at the moment either but mainly as its "in development" It could go through an MoT now with new tyres and brake discs (a tad rusty) but I want it back on the road the way I want it and am in no hurry to do so. Its 25 years old now (Evo 2) and is starting to rise in value.Quote:

I still lurk about, and although my s14a went almost 10 years ago now, it's still in the hands of another member, which is great.
Would love another, but I've got too used to 45mpg and not spending the weekends under cars, so can't see it happening.
