Well, my S13 is for sale because of a change in job circumstances which hasn't been mentioned yet...

Just to update this one, for those who may be having the same problem - It turned out to be a failed gearbox (main bearing suspected) causing all of the grief... Go figure...

Deities they may not be - But I can't think of a single way of getting between Point A and Point B as quick as an FQ340 for the same amount of money with a 3 year, unlimited mileage manufacturer's...

I'm assuming that Stg.1 sees an S14 at roughly 250-260bhp? If so, there is no way that it would touch an FQ320/340 in a straight line - Despite the 4WD drivetrain drag, these are still ferociously...

Mitsubishi did make a 260bhp (ps?) version of the Evo VIII for the UKDM. While being quick off the mark in usual Evo fashion, with less than 200bhp/tonne and the drag from the 4WD system it wont be...

I can see no issue with this at all as a problem-solver. If the arches aren't rotten then they will take the weight against the suspension without any hassle. Then all that is required is for...

Is it me, or do the fronts not look like the 14a/GTSt Skyline 4-pots?

268bhp @ wheels is going to be equating to 350bhp+ @ the flywheel... That is pretty impressive if true.

Have you actually driven these cars?

The 309 GTi is easily as good a handler as the legendary 205 GTi (having the exact same chassis setup), as well as more stable (read as less likely to end up...

I don't really understand why everyone is so surprised by all these stories of S13s being beaten by FWD shopping trollies and the like.
Firstly, a standard S13 is not a fast car. With a...

So in your signature, where you are asking for a de-cat, does that mean that Stage One includes the standard cat? Anyway, I thought it was off the road needing a multitude of repairs to even make it...

Subaru do a wonderful metallic black with red flakes which catch the sunlight really well. It came on one of the special edition Imprezas IIRC...

Believe me, I couldn't care less about "superiority" or "elitism"...

You did a very good job of making yourself look stupid on the other forum in question when asked (not only by me) how your...

No, I'm quite ordinary. However, you're just a "pub bhp", b*llshit bragger.

I'm only highlighting the fact that you quoted a completely made-up power figure as gospel on another forum to further...

I've got my reservations about buying 2nd hand suspension. If the kit is off the car, there is no way at all of telling the quality or condition of what you are buying - For example, a set of 60k...

Nah, it was definitely bragging and quoting "280bhp"... It was actually me who picked you up on it.
Never mind, I wouldn't imagine you would admit to it on here.

Strange, I seem to recall you bragging about exactly that on TA...

So why not 280bhp then?

Double post, bloody 'puter!

The problem with letstorque is that they don't take gearing into consideration... I suppose if you are looking for an idea of what sort of an proportional improvement that an increase in power will...

I would say that your seat is riding quite a bit higher than the standard one then. I am a 6ft4 rugby player and the steering wheel clearing my thighs was never an issue in the 14a. I don't think...

m.d. - Did you manage to get your car on the rollers with those modifications? I would be interested to see the results as a comparison between with/without the cam and manifold.

£500 is a bit optomistic to get a decent spring/damper set and whiteline ARBs, then getting them fitted and the alignment done...
Which is why I recommended just changing the springs and dampers and...

This seems a bit at odds with the fact that my S13 pushed past a GPS'd 140mph with relative ease.. If it were a speedo-indicated figure then I would not bother to contest it as I am fully aware of...

While studying for an Automotive Engineering degree (which I quit, I hasten to add), the geek in me decided to read a book on suspension tuning written by an American chap (whose name I forget) who...
