stoopid s14!!

[pruto]

ARGH. i'm packing up to go home for the weekend and its the first time i've had both bucket seats in for a trackday (DD advanced on sunday). I took out my backseats a couple days ago thinking i can fit 2 spares in the trunk and 2 in the back seats... nope! there is no way i can put my wheels in the backseat area without taking off a seat. OMG! ARGH. Yeah yeah, taking off a seat isn't that difficult or time consuming but still.

so.. this is great, i jammed 3 wheels in the trunk, thank god i only have a pair of 15s and a pair of 16s (and 3 wheels barely fit without any trunk lining). and one is sitting ontop of my passenger seat. and my 3 ton jack is in my passenger footrest area. I don't think i have room for my laundry bask. Geez, i'm glad i don't have to take a passenger or anything.

any ideas? besides finding my chainsaw and doing a special s14 hatchback conversion. I've seen miatas and other 2 seaters tow around a wheel trailer to track events. Any idea where i can get those? i've been trying to google it, but no idea what the hell its called.

damn it.

or look for one of those tilt forwar slider adaptors that'll let you tilt the pass. pucket forward to throw gear in the back. probably could go to any trailor shop and get info aout one of those small dollies for the wheels. a local guy here has a hidden trailer hitch behind his license plate. got a couple of those folding frames off ancient caddies and mde his plate ablle to swing up and out of the way giving him access to the reciever. pretty slick.

exactly why i won't get 2 buckets.
;)

soory, no advice. :(

[ootranceformeroo]

hmm.....how much room do you have inbetween the drivers seat and passenger seat? you can always sqeeze them in the back if they fit....but it would probably be hard to get them out..how come you have 2 buckets anyways? lol forget about the passenger. The most they should get is just a reclinable. Just get a cheap one or something b/c tires are more important :)

Think about it this way...with a reclinable passenger side...I can fit 3 17in rims/tires back there pretty well and 2 17s in the trunk.

jeez, Paul, I can't believe you're stressing over this.
you can get rope, right? Strap them down to the roof!

go find someone who has acces to a vehicle with lots of cargo space. bitch slap em across the face and tell them to carry your shit. or i dunno about your car but maybe you can push some tires into the rear seat area from the trunk?

Me and my brother managed to pack 6 tires+3 ppl+all his tools n jackstands in the backseat and trunk, we used those elastic things with the hooks, n we managed to fit them all in the car with no problem. Then again, u have bucket seats, he still had the stockers.

buy a truck. tow your car to track events. put your spare parts and tires in the truck. that really is the best way, it's not like your car is fun to drive with all that crap in it anyhow. i plan on trailering my car to events when i need to carry a lot of gear also.

i use a harbor frieght trailor for my tires (which do NOT fit well in an S14, even with a reclining pass. seat). my hitch is a class I universal.

I think i'm going up to button willow tomarrow too, and we might be bringing the parts hauler cressida. We might be able to fit a wheel for you.

EDIT: Whoops im a dumbass. Buttonwillow is next week. Fontana tomarrow baby!

Be creative and you can fit a TON of shit in an s14. I can fit a full set of 17x9 or 6 stock SE wheels in the rear seat area alone, plus another 3 SEs in the trunk.

[Maeda]

I want to see that. 6 stock se wheels in the rear seat area. Next time you do that take a pic for me.

I did fit a full set of 17x8 wheels with tires in my S14... though.

[s15dude]

Yah i can fit 3 16 inchers in the backseat with it folded down, then one rim in the trunk next to my subwoofer(whcich is taken out for track obviously, but I gotta have bump on the way to the track) put tools and clothes or wutever else in front seat
