Sammamish, Washington - Just east of Seattle. We have a track near Seattle named Pacific Raceway. It isn't too famous but, has some nice tight corners and elevation changes.
Finally sent a message to admin to sort registration out for here and got an email back so here I am. Been getting the fix over on s14.net - one of the most informative forums with the most knowledgable bods around. Which means most of you are on here too! People tell me I'm in good hands, well the car is anyway, as it's currently with Sheps. So, I 'm sure to bump into a few of you on here. Looking forward to noobing it with minor postage, stupid questions and not fulfilling adequate searches.
Hi there and welcome. No worries just ask away we don't have people here that will tell you to search all the time. IIRC we don't even have a search smily. :m: Thomas
Hello my name is Joc and I’m an S14 addict. I live in Skopje. I came to know the S14 purelly by logic, through one of my favorite hatchbacks - the 2000 touring. It had a weird shape, not as graceful as the 2002, but more distinct, different. My kind of car. Small, light, rear wheel drive BMW hatch from the 70’s that nobody loved - The outcast. Researching the m10 engine and it’s racing heritage a came across the S14, the engine that powered the first M3. The similarities of the M10 and S14 intrigued me. It was basically the same engine block, same size and probably the same engine mounting points. It could be the perfect swap. Just take out the m10 with gearbox, drop in the S14, bolt it up to the M3’s differential on the rear axle, rewire it and drive. A plan was hatched, I’ll be driving an M powered street touring very soon. Things didn’t work out exactly as planned obviously, but very soon I got hooked on S14. I even bought another S14B20 engine yesterday just because it was for sale and I couldn't stop myself. Cheers Joc
