Driftit 1945 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 I know this is random. But I have some mint VQ covers at home. I see yours are broken in the pic. Let me know. Will the S14 Subframe not increase the track too much? S14 looks wider to me. Also have some S14 twin pot brakes if your keen. Just need new rotors.

Nu-Del 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 So the windows got there in one piece? Sweet! Yup sure did.... Well I havnt opened them yet but they dont rattle so Im taking that as a healthy sign I know this is random. But I have some mint VQ covers at home. I see yours are broken in the pic. Let me know. Will the S14 Subframe not increase the track too much? S14 looks wider to me. Also have some S14 twin pot brakes if your keen. Just need new rotors. Have decided to keep the BMW subframe and use a 2J now just for ease of fitment really above anything else... Havnt measured the track width yet but have measured the wheelbase and the BMW is 20cm longer in the wheel base then a S14... But really if Im not happy with the track width thats easy fixed with more spacers or better ofset wheels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nu-Del 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2009 Just had another read to try find an answer to my next question....What happened? (How did it catch fire) As the story goes paint was poured onto the bonnet and back of the car and set on fire which is kind of a sad end for such a nice car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
