BI6TIM's new car.

by **BI6TIM** » October 3rd, 2009, 11:08 pm

Hey guys, as you know, I sold the falcon this week. The plan has been to sell both the falcon and the s13 I've had as a daily for the last 9 months and get one car that can do all the things I want in a car. Of course it's not as raw and manly as the falcon but as a package, this car has everything IMO.
Anyway, here it is. These are the photo's from the 'for sale' add, they're all I've got at the moment as I just picked the car up a couple of hours ago.

Came with front mount, with necessary piping and 3" stainless exhaust from turbo back. Everything else in the engine bay is stock.
Tien coil overs, front strut bar and short shift kit. The car is pretty much totally stock other than that stuff.
I love it, so light and nimble, so much fun.

Very Nice

But it's still sad to see the falcon go...

True it was a bit rough seeing someone else driving away in my car but at least it's gone to someone who appreciates it. I spoke to the new owner today and he's still got a grin from ear to ear. He loves it.
I'll build another one one day I reckon.

Very tidy Tim. Needs more GTR seats. And no, you can't have mine. Nah just kidding... $10097894 and they're yours. What a bargain.

I bet you can't wait to get your munji on!

by **Fairmont888** » October 3rd, 2009, 11:24 pm

bloody hell you move quickly! looks very tidy, can't say i'm a fan of the wheels, but other than that it looks good

by **BI6TIM** » October 3rd, 2009, 11:35 pm

Oh, the wheels will be gone as soon as I get some other wheels to go on it. Not my style at all.

Thanks Fonzy, would love GTR seats, maybe one day if there's ever any for sale.

by **lawler** » October 3rd, 2009, 11:38 pm

congrats on the buy. I dont know how you manged to sell the falcon I wouldnt be able to sell my 31 to much blood sweat and tears been spent on it.
got many plans for the s14?

by **BI6TIM** » October 3rd, 2009, 11:40 pm

Yes, many plans indeed. Once the s13 sells the s14 will get way sicker!

by **lawler** » October 3rd, 2009, 11:45 pm

hm sounds interesting. what sort of plans?

by **nstg8a** » October 3rd, 2009, 11:49 pm

looks bloody tidy, i dunno what the market is like here but back home its hard to find a clean S14 that hasnt been butchered, looks like you found a nice one. :good:

on a side note, saw a real nice r32 today, all black and nice and low on R34 gtr rims, suited it, i reckon they would look mint on your s14...

Yeah I was gonna say something about the wheels but I was fairly certain that would be your plans anyway hahaha. You know what would be sick - Lenso DC-5's

sorry for being nosey, but didnt you sell the falcon due to expanding family? i would have gone a 4 door for expanding family as its a pain getting kids in the back.. tho you can always make the other half do it lol. :thumbsup:

looks damn nice but i do hope you get back into a boosted falcon in the future

by **67rce** » October 4th, 2009, 12:31 pm

He has the camry for the family, the ED was sold to join 2 cars into one (ED was the drifter, S13 was the daily, now it's S14 to do both)

very nice buy i like the color

by **nstg8a** » October 4th, 2009, 1:18 pm

time for for strawberry face conversion?

by **bushman** » October 4th, 2009, 1:36 pm

Too much sr20ness needs more RB30/26 hectikness

Nice buy Tim Does it do a good skid?

by **BI6TIM** » October 4th, 2009, 1:39 pm

As much as I love the s15 front, I also love the s14 front and I don't think I'll be doing a strawberry face with this car.

Plans for this car, when the money becomes available, will be: PowerFC and turn the boost up, KAAZ, different wheels, rear camber arms, change my rose jointed castor arms from the s13 to this car. That will probably be it for a bit depending on how the money situation is.
After that, at some stage, will be cams and rocker stoppers, some sort of GT30r variant and no doubt I'll then need to upgrade the clutch also.

That's the plans that I've thought of so far.

by **BI6TIM** » October 4th, 2009, 1:55 pm

These are the two wheels I'd really like to choose from for it.

1. Volk GT-C

2. Volk TE37 (the ones on the red 180, of course)

I'm liking the GT-C best at the moment.

by **bushman** » October 4th, 2009, 1:58 pm

Does it skid ?

by **BI6TIM** » October 4th, 2009, 2:06 pm

Of couse it skids Bush. Diff nice and tight too, spins two nicely!

by **bushman** » October 4th, 2009, 2:23 pm

Mad as did you find that out before or after you bought it.
I skided the ed before i'd even pay'd for it lol. :grin:

by **LUXO_8** » October 4th, 2009, 3:05 pm

looks fantastic tim, sounds like some good plans for it

by **ned** » October 4th, 2009, 4:12 pm

That red 180 belongs to my mate, the wheels are Rays Engineering TE37.

by **nstg8a** » October 4th, 2009, 5:23 pm

go the gt-c's.... one of the sexiest wheels ever.

by **slo_sprint** » October 4th, 2009, 8:04 pm

GT-C's with dish doeeeett!

Just looking at your engine bay pics i noticed the RB is missing two cylinders, whats the go with that?

lol you hear the same sob stories every car sale, then they immediately bounce back with something twice as good as the car they sold :-P

the new project will swallow up funds just like the falcon would, but hey wgaf, at least the kids will be able to eat

by **LUXO_8** » October 4th, 2009, 8:26 pm

someone has a problem today...

he said this car is replacing 2 cars...ie, 2 rego's, 2 insurance, etc

by the way, its none of your business, its his life

by **FordFairmont** » October 4th, 2009, 8:29 pm

thats fine im just dissecting the posts mate

just like when "classicAU" was selling all his cars was like, " oh man i cant afford to live blah blah..... then buys something that cost more and was supposedly an uprgrade

good luck with bigTim i hope the new nissan is a better car all round than the ED ? :drinks2:

by **BI6TIM** » October 4th, 2009, 9:55 pm

Thanks guys for all the supportive posts. FordFairmont, I did not mislead anybody in the sale of my falcon. I needed to do a gearbox conversion to be able to turn the power up, which was going to cost me upwards of $3000 then what ever the cost of parts as I go to make more power.
All money I didn't have.
With the money I got for the falcon, I bought this S14. With the money I get from the sale of my S13, I'll upgrade this S14 a bit. when I run out of that money, that's it, the s14 stays like that. The beauty of the s14 is that with 250-300rwhp they make such a good street car, can drift and are still cheap to run, perfect. Even though my money is none of your business, now you know what's happening.

On a lighter note, been driving this around today and loving it more and more, it's everything I've been wishing my s13 was and more.

Once you get those dreds of your head you'll realise that the only thing going for an RB is a slightly better sound than an SR but not as good of a sound as a JZ.
In any case, SR for life bitch

by **misk** » October 4th, 2009, 10:01 pm

dont brag too much, you'll make us all sell our falcons :p
good choice of car though. i can understand your thoughts about the car, they are indeed a great all round car

I see where your going with this, when you said you were going to put a GT30R on it you actually meant your converting it to a 2JZ with a T88 :thumbsup:

On a more serious note you've done well man its a wicked buy glad to hear ya enjoying it, now hurry up and slide the mah fcker!

by **BI6TIM** » October 4th, 2009, 10:16 pm

Hey misk, what ever came of that 2JZ project you had going a while ago? Still going?

I must say, I do miss the raw mid-range torque that the falcon delivered with such gusto, I'm sure I'll get over it but I certainly do miss that.

by **misk** » October 4th, 2009, 10:26 pm

the VH 2JZ thing is still going yeah lol
it will be going for a long time.
i got side tracked and want to put a turbo on the falcon first, then ill finish off the VH

by **Bipolar** » October 5th, 2009, 2:15 pm

Nice!

I'd go the GT-Cs. Sexy dish.

by **TUFED6** » October 5th, 2009, 2:49 pm

These things are good but get ready to build a bottom end for it. If you give the standard one a hiding it *WILL* spin a bearing.

I did what now, pin dick? If you are reffering to the original AU I had and then the XR8, I still had change from the sale of the supercharger kit and the car after buying the XR8. I then lost my job and sold the XR8 for a proffit and bought a shitty EL XR6 for a quarter of the price. That was promptly sold due to being a shit box.
So get your facts right before you open your trap next time hey.
