My first 9 days on the road with my S14 were so far interesting:
-put on around 720KM
-entered first show and shine "event" (Superdrift)
-got pulled by a guard
-got a few racing invites from Golf drivers (what is it with mk4 drivers??)
-many confused looks about the interiour
-mummy's somehow love my car ha, got plenty of talk due their sons :D
-started to twitch uncontrollable whenever I see something like a bump on the road
- getting afraid of shadows on the road (from poles) as it could be still a bump or something
So far I can't complain, shes good in juice, bit of a boost leak there tho (only in high revs).
NCT on Wednesday (which I will fail for simple things as I just don't have the time) and will see what else they don't like...
Will keep you updated :)

More Updates in my blog (+2 new pictures), see in my Signature.
Im writing about the NCT experience and a boost leak :)

Funny encounter today.
Besides receiving a thumbs up this morning, I also managed to set off the alarm of a jeep after passing it to park besides it.
Must be a sensitive alarm....haha
Many things gonna be done this week/weekend to get her ready for NCT soon. Small stuff really but can't wait to have a full window!
Take that guards!!! :D
-
This is looking very tasty in deed .. hope ya havent too much hassel getn throu test .. can be right w@#kers sum of them !!
-
Your putting in alot of effort to maintain the car now I like to see that, it costs a bit but its a long term saving. Good luck with the NCT, i'll light a candle ;)
-
Well well....
this is going very quiet here....the main reason is, because the forum is not really what it was before.
I am now more active on SXOC again and I will still keep my blog updated as well (signature).
Besides that, my baby is all parked up now, summer is over!
I have so many plans and I'm after getting a good few bits very soon!
Im am extremely excited because I will get some parts today that are VERY rare AND I was looking for them for about 2 years now.
I won't tell what it is though, only show the pictures when they are fitted....
:)

Not much is happening at the moment. I got a few more bits and started to take of the front bits again in order to tidy her up and might respray the front bumper.
Before her big wash and parking her up then, she basically looked like this:

Now its more like that ha

Im getting really fast in taking the front bits off by now haha
For now this will do.
I also discovered a bit of a coolant leak and must find out if its the waterpump or not.
Next plan is to get the track rod ends replaced+tracking so it will pass NCT.
-
A bit of an update.
Last weekend the track rod ends were replaced.
I first thought it would be some kind of complicated job and since I love "learning by doing", i said i might get some help with it because i don't wanna mess around with the steering/tracking. After all, my life is very dear to me ha
JDM Garage (Bart) kindly showed me how to replace them, so next time i can do it on my own. It was way easier than i thought it would be! im delighted :)
Here the old ones compared to the new ones :)

The tracking was also done afterwards since i thought it must have been way off. Car is pulling badly to the left so i thought that was a result of the tracking being off.
After that was done, she still pulled to the left, so we discovered that it is actually the rear being off.
That will be looked into within the next few weeks!

And here to compare the rear (with the trusty daily posing in the background ha)

What do ye think about the rear?
-
The rears look to be toe'd in a bit too much, the rear left more so. Have you adjustable arms on the back?
-
i was in the belief it was still standard and as far as i remember, never looked like adjustable arms, but will investigate. no idea when that happened as well since it was all fine in the beginning, might while out on track but never had a bang
