Hi everyone…Long time no post. Before any of the crusty ‘ol curmudgeons start squawking, this is a “heads up” and not a “For Sale” post, so hence my posting here ;-).
In my never-ending quest to attain utter destitution and insolvency, I currently have some significant enhancements being made to my 1973 tii (2764282) with 2.5L S14. For those who may be interested, these include:
-MoTec M130 stand-alone ECU
-Custom Coil-on-Plug ignition system
-Motorsport-grade wiring harness
-VAC Camshaft/Crank Trigger systems
-One-off titanium header/exhaust syst.
-MoTec custom gauge panel
-Individual tuned velocity stacks
-Kooglewerks Limmerfelgen Wheels
Consequently, I MIGHT soon be making some or all the following items available. Everything here consists of bespoke/custom objets de désir that are NLA, superb quality and in near-perfect (“perfect” = brand new in my book) condition. Please DM me if you have interest. Full disclosure: Nothing here is inexpensive!
-BMW Motorsport 2-piece, “Gruppe A Rallye Header.” This header is pure sculpture and has been NLA for years. It is considered by many to be the best choice for significant power gains while maintaining mid-range punch. Mine was professionally ceramic-coated at a significant cost. See:

-Custom, 3” diameter Stainless Steel complete exhaust system. This system was made for my car by Kermit Upton III of Mountain Autosport Racing in Ludlow, VT. It is a work of art and produces the absolute perfect sound (deep & powerful, not too loud and with zero raspiness). The center (just replaced last year) and rear mufflers are full SS from Borla’s racing division.
-Custom, German-made, OEM style, carbon fiber airbox. Over 2 decades ago, this direct bolt-on airbox was part of a very small run by a small company in Germany (John Johnson
from Maxx-automotive GmbH Germany). It has long been NLA and provides the functional benefit of dramatically reduced stress on the rubber intake blocks located between the throttle bodies and cylinder head. It also produces a fantastic intake sound compared to the OEM unit. Here is a link to a near-identical airbox (also NLA) offered by a different company.

-Ireland Engineering, one-off center gauge panel with VDO gauges. Back when Jeremy Chandler was with I.E., he made this gorgeous metal panel for me. It includes all gauges and openings for a push-start button and hazard lights button.
-Five (5) HRE 535 custom forged 15” wheels. Two are 6.5” & three (fronts + spare) are 6”. I had these custom made by HRE about 20 years ago. They are light, strong, NLA, in beautiful condition and drop-dead gorgeous to the point that I (almost) tire of answering the “OMFG, where did you get those?!” questions at O2 shows and C&Cs. They strike the absolute perfect balance between “period correct cool” and “subtle aggression.” I may end up keeping them as a second pair of shoes, still on the fence…
Below, please find a few pics that I was able to gather. Thanks!
