    weiner's "Forgotten" s14a...

    Well where do I start? This car had some history behind it. I bought her off Sais who bought her off Dan @ SRBPower who bought it off sroberts..So to track the owners back its been around

    Few photos when I first bought the car:









    I even went to an SXOC rr day to see how much it produced (a bit opimistic considering I didnt have a boost controller or anything):




    Here are the videos:



    This is when I started modifying...little did I know how it would turn out...

    Then went on another SXOC RR day to find the car was running lean. This was due to the actuator arm popping off as the circlip went on walk abouts. I sent it down to a garage to have it diagnosed after I resetted the ecu etc. The put the circlip back on and recommended I do a full engine rebuild (I didn't need to).

    Anyways after the big ordeal I moved the car from the garage and moved it up to Checkpoint in Arbroath to get things sorted (Thanks for Dunkz for these pictures):



    In the mean time Apex gen 2 coilovers (comfy springs) went on along with full Apex alignment arms.

    I just got the car back last week and have been running the engine in recently. It has been a whole year since I last drove the car and I am so glad to have it back. Here are some recent pictures:

    Thanks for the comments guys Just really glad to have her back and everything

    What I got planned this year? Debt control...then if and when I am out of it then its maybe new turbo, injectors and ECU followed by bouts of mapping at the same time... Will see what happens in all honesty lol

    Such a nice car that! keep it tidy,and clean that engine bay!

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    Some guy bought it wanting it for spares. Paid asking price for it can't complain. Was a good lad too and had a unit. He then sold it on to some guy who can't insure it...

    The seats are Cobra Misano's with the Carbon Fibre Backs (I really need to get new pictures of the interior like lol) and yes they are leather (wipe clean)
