Not sure, mid feb though. I fitted 10mm rear spacers roday for my Rotas because their offset is gash. ET35 is now ET25, its a lot better. Its amazing what 10mm can do, and its not teh first time ive heard that before. got pictures too, pre spacers though. Heres my new rev counter and where its mounted. Not wired in yet though. Ive actually turned it over and hidden teh wires now. Strut brace is missing from the time we took the coilpacks out. I put it back on afterwards but i noticed a bit more frotn end bite in the wet without it so its staying off till the summer. and no comments about it being filthy please, you all know my view on cleaning cars.

Here are the two spoilers i fancy. Not sure what make they are, im just hoping theyre not really rare expensive. ill do some research on them when im ready to buy one. I have a feeling the white on is a Rocket bunny one though, so mega monies. The other ive seen a few times before, im not 100% itd go well on a 14a but you never know. If i cant get one of them im thinking super low not over the top BGW.

They look stupid in my opinion and just wouldnt look right on my unkitted car. They even look stupid on those Japspeed cars. an average height BGw is ok on a hovercraft kit like yours, or a drag type low mount BGW looks good too.
I thought that was a rocket Bunny one.
I prefer the little Wangan style 'ducktail' lip spoilers though.

BGW can look ok on some cars, but then utter gash on others. Its a matter of taste really, and what you're trying to achieve overall. If the money has been spent on full on bodykits ok. But if not then they look Over engineered and pointless in my view. Dave, Im liking the idea of your Lip style spoiler. Seems like something that hasnt been done extensively before. How i this for you? Click me Mr Dave...

Yep, everythign is function over form on my car bar a few bits, so no BGW's for me.
Ive seen those Craig, its what budda has on his now. They look good but i prefer it to only be as wide as the boot, without over hanging, and stick up more. A Gurney flap type jobbie or a ducktail like the Rocket Bunny one would be great.
Chris wired up my Rev counter today and sorted a few bits n bobs out. Weve found teh source of the bleeding problem so that will be tackled in due course. Nice one for the help Chris.

Ive found a 6666 spoiler (the rocket bunny ones) for £270 ish. There is also an SRB power carbon M3 style lip spoiler (copy of Originlabs) for £140.
Im doing a big brake / internal rear drum handbrake conversion, so depending on how that goes and how much it costs will decide which spoiler i get. I could be getting a cheap R32 GTR conversion, if not itll be a DB power 330mm big brake front and a mixed set up on the rear. There will be roughly £200 differnce, possibly more, so that will vary my choice of spoiler.
If i get the 6666 one i will also get a front bumper, of which im struggling to find one i like. One that doesnt have any 'hovercraft' qualities yet doesnt have all sorts of gaping holes and random, pointless slits and gashes. As i spoke to Chris today, im a wheel whore and hope in the not too distant future to go for something like 17x9.5 ET12's and i will get somethign like JUN arches or overfenders, just to set it off. All of that just because i want a 6666 ducktail spoiler.

Dave matey the bunny spoiler is in my opinion one of the best looking spoilers for any s body goodlad
as for the internal rears WHY????
you will need a 300zx rear disks for this so why not just get skyline rear disks and calipers hexam scotty on driftworks will hook you up cheap my calipers cost me less then £35 delivered
and if i am honest 14s look terrible with jun arches on wide arches bady all day.
Oh and get skiddin with me on forza son its theoly time/way i can do it lol

Internals are better then hydro though. You know that yourself having problems setting them up. Ive discussed it with Chris quite a lot, and done plenty of research too. Its worth doing, far better then the stock S14 setup.
Id probably be going for overfenders but id look at arches first. They look so much better imo and add an old skool vibe. You can actually see them as opposed to overfenders, which you can normally tell. I may only need a pull anyway for proper wheel fitment so it may not be needed.
I barely ever go on Forza anymore, got bored now but ill pop on sometime over the next few days.
Did you get my stickers btw?
