ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The engine bay has been prepared in meticulous fashion. presenting as new with many parts renewed or replaced. The previous owner has truly cosseted this example; every time it comes out of storage. or is started after being stopped for more than 3 months. the engine is first primed with oil before actually firing it. This procedure involves removing the spark plugs. running the starter motor from the diagnostic port for up to 1 minute until the oil pressure light is off. It is this dedication that results in no timing chain rattle whatsoever. it´s a pleasure to listen to the tick over with no harsh sounds at all. Thanks to the official Hartge upgrades. this S14 pulls very strongly without any hesitation with the gearbox is as smooth and positive as Gertrag first intended.

It has undergone a no expense spared recommission. where all perishable parts were replaced and many of the mechanical parts were new or refurbished to new condition. Thousands have been spent in parts and labor to revert the car back to as new. a project of huge care and attention that presents this example as one of the very best available on the market today.
