Nice! the car is right hand drive correct? How does the S14 fit in a RHD? it sits at such an angle and the headers are large.

Very nice! Good job!

[grippymonkey]

nicely done man!

Jesus fucking Christ. Crikey mate. My dream is to swap a s14 into my four door 91 318i and call it a 320is. You are the fucking man, bruce.

It seem I have accidently lead some of you astray. I haven't fitted the S14 as yet, the photo of it was taken from the previous owner in his car. The engine is currently getting rebuilt and I am looking for a shell to put it in as the bronze car had too much rust. I have a few to look at so I should have one by the weekend.
In the mean time here are a few videos from Noosa hillclimb.

Looks like your car is well sorted Glenn. Nice job. How did you find the 4.1 lsd with the M42

Really good! I reacon its the perfect raito for that engine. Should be interesting with a 1:1 5th gear which the new gearbox has.

sick as fuck!
i would change or repaint wheels but man this thing is clean and slick!

Not a fan of black? Interested to know what wheels you would put on? I am not really a fan of the big 17inch BBS type wheels. Mine are only 15s.

[Pantless Spency]

the ones going on my car are 15's also! :)
i am a fan of the specific wheel i always loved them on e30's but not a fan of xxr/sportmax/rota. and not a fan of blacked out with red.
for this car? to really set it off?
personally i like low offset wide borbet a's. but any really nice high quality period correct wheels would really set this car off.

I don't really like the Borbets. But I would love a set of MiMs

What kind of suspension are you running? The car looks great in the photos, it's a shame it got damaged so badly. Can't wait to see the S14 in one of the shells!
