My M2 interpretation

[group4wheels]

Hi All,

Purchased my S14 engined '02 quite some time ago (years) and due to being rather uncompromising, it is only now that real progress seems to being made.

Purchased from Anglia Car Auctions over two years ago (so James @ JFI informs me, yes it's been there that long) with it's S14 engine already intact along with a 5 speed overdrive box and 4 pot brakes. It's obvious that some money had been spent on the car but the work had not been done particularly well, including, yes, that exhaust!

The car was brought over from Spain in '89 and had only the one owner until my purchase. Due to the rather forgiving Spanish climate, as James said, it was in his top 5 of cleanest '02's he'd seen.

I think that'll do for the intro and I'll update soon as bits and pieces have already been purchased and are on the shelf.

Regards

Jonathan

Excited to watch the progress-Euro-spec in Polaris with an S14 and my fave BBS rims! Subscribed!

First thing I got sorted was suspension which are Tii struts which were sent to Bielstein Motorsport in Germany...then some AP Racing 4 pots to fit inside 13" Ronal Kleeblatt wheels which will be shod with Toyo R888R's in 185/60-13.

Okay, so some of this I've had for a while...

I can't even begin to tell you what a horrible job it was taking off the sound deadening. Personally, as it was cold, I found it easier to chisel it off then use a wire wool head on a power drill. Anyway, car is now about to get a small amount of rust at the front outer edges of the floorpan replaced and roll cage installed.

 

Still needs the floor of the rear doing, this and the rear bulkhead were much easier as was a lot thinner in depth. Gearbox tunnel wasn't done as this will be replaced by a larger unit to house the dogleg gearbox.

Nice! Now you're digging in. Looks like a solid shell overall

Chassis does look to be surprisingly solid, originally a Spanish car, was imported in to the UK in '89.

Where did you get the AP Racing brake setup?  That center hat and adapter look sweet!
