Car only has 116kmiles. Is this typical for an S14? Also may need a prepurchase inspection in the DC area, any recommendations?

There is only one solution that I know of that meets your requirements, Halogen Infrared Reflecting bulbs. I wouldn't waste my money on cheap lighting like DEPO. I did a group buy on these earlier in 2004 and have some info on my website: http://www.rdautosport.com/GroupBuy.htm Although this guy hijacked my group buy once, he is one of the few places I know you can buy them: http://www.finemotoring.com/ Recently, Don E covered this extensively in the Roundel.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maybe a little faster than that. :-) The low beam sawed out of the bucket, with a 55W Silverstar, overdriven by 7.2AH of Lithium ion 18650 cells inside a water bottle, and hung from a handlebar end, makes a great bicycle headlight. That's where one of mine went after 'Jack got his ellipsoid surgery. Good for 40+mph on the downhills, but that's about it.

The hardware (expanding rivets, screws, etc) that hold the grill & head lamp surrounds need to be replaced. The local parts guy says they only come with a new grill. Say it ain't so! Can anyone point me to these parts on the ETK?
