Hi guys, thought I'd throw some images up of some of the other carbon bits we've been working on... after a fight with Google Photos I've finally managed to get them visible!
Here is the airbox...
Last couple of posts sound epic, I need to go back and catch up on your previous updates, keep up the progress mate!

Oh yeah, we've done that too!
We did that as a vac bagged wet lay, but still using the foam core. It could be lighter and we could have built it stiffer with what we know now, but it's a good...
Cheers crispy! You're not a million miles away, it'd be good to get on track with some other s14s.. Bedford autodrome is only 15 mins for us, we'll post updates of when we are heading out next.

Hi Chris, thanks for the nice comments! We've got a few other things on the go, so should be updating again soon! The door cards were a lot of work, and by "a lot of work" I mean weeks if not months...
Hello,
This is a long over due update to our project, last update was many years ago!
Last trackday was at Bedford autodrome in November 2014, close to Bedford/St Neots where both me and my...
Personally unless I planned to sell something I'd always make it public, but it's his prerogative regardless...I can appreciate that even though as a finished piece they are simple, a lot of work...
Cool, cheers!

Good to know on the size. No prob to not share, i wasn't after your exact design anyway mate, just wondering what thickness and what material have you used? 1/4" ally?

What width/chord is the wing? My bro and I are working on making our own from scratch, 1800x300 at the moment, don't know if that'll be a little wide when we're done!
Also did you make the wing...
Good job! Can't wait to get mine running again either... Need to hit the track before the end of the year!

My bro and I have a composites workshop so I'll be looking to do our own, but I'm interested to see which profile you went for, and of course how you find it when you get on track next!
Which wing did you go for from elite? I've gone back a few pushed and can't seem to fine your link any more.
Also, what are you doing for mounts?

I'm a bit gutted that in a week of work your car looks better than mine does after about 7 years! Great car and nice to see a simple spec yet very nicely done project.
Do you get lots of scrubbing...
Good job on keeping the project going despite the tough times Zep, well done! My brother and I almost got our S14 out of the workshop yard yesterday before spotting an issue... We last updated our...
check your inlet circuit for air leaks, and ensure that the turbo actuator diaphragm still holds a vacuum; just suck on the vac line. Either of these can cause you to not get full boost, but actuator...
They are great little cars, handling is far far better than the 200SX, and the brakes are great despite being tiny - so much feel you can take huge lumps out of people on track which is very...
I think the minimum wage needs to be way higher than it is currently so that the example jobs you gave become more appealing, and benefits should be slashed so that they really are a...
I think a nice way to phrase it is to say university education should be accessible for everyone, but not aspirational for everyone - one size doesn't fit all. It's funny how so many people seem to...
Hey CrazySX, I know this is out of date, but just thought I'd say hi here - I post as Jonty on MR2roc (tom is my brother and we share the S14)... seems you got some good advice here, and interesting...
Fair reasons! My main reason for using them was cost (or lack of) rather than performance. I've considered a roof rack or trailer to get around the lack of space (we can't even get 1 wheel in the...
have you looked at running BTCC slicks? Most trackdays I've been on are OK with it, and they are cheaper for all 4 corners for a scrubbed set as each A048/R888!
cool, hopefully that'll sort your coolant issue :)
Where the air gets pushed down and also the smoke trail gets thinner (free stream high above the car at the start of vids is very different to anywhere near the body) this is it being accelerated -->...
