or the sxoc.com

i had a s14 and it was very reliable, but one of the water pipes 2 the turbo split and took 8 months 2 get a replacement. my mates had one for over a year with no real problems. the s14 is a very good car for the money (Ł2000+)

S13 or S14 Jim??

I have an S13 as my run-around thing to keep me entertained whenever the RST is being fixed...

Standard - 170bhp, RWD, good fun, pretty good for learning RWD i reckon Not exactly fast though.... i havent actually looked up the book stats on the car, but im guessing pretty much 8seconds to 60 and 140mph top end, based on the fact its pretty much identical to a 2.5 V6 Mondeo . Handling as standard so far in my experience is not good, but maybe my standard shocks are tired so its hard to know.

Get some decentg tyres on there that are good in the wet, needed IMO to learn RWD in the wet. Sliding in the dry is easy, in the wet though with shit tyres and honestly, lethal springs to mind

Tuning potential is good too, 270bhp being not majorly difficult, with stages in between around the 210bhp mark (stage 1 ish) etc

Hope this helps....

Its the s14 I'm interested in. Not really fussed if its not a rocket, I just recon they look smart and you seem to get lots of toys.

I was thinkin about a saph cossie but really cant be arsed with the shit I went through with the escort and the nissan looks miles better than the saph. I'd jus like summat swift and reliable. I only got 6 months use out of the escort in 3 years!!

S13 is the one to have, although big ends tend to go. Don't know about Sketches(maybe worn as said) but handling is superb. Drove a couple and they were ace. It should be a 7 sec car easily and is very lively to drive. Have one over an RST anyday
