s12 200sx hard parked

[sally pu]

I am in love with a car, and you are the owner.

This thing is nuts, not only because of the rarity but becausde it looks to be in pretty good condition.

Love the houndstooth roofliner, and the steeles look pretty good on there man! Keep it up, I'm def in for updates on this

S12's are so expensive in cali compared to everywhere else. One in good condition goes for around $2500 where my friend got one in amazing condition in wisconsin with 79k miles on it for $1600.

Good luck with the project though, there is a coupe around where I live with the silvia badges and lowered on rs watanabes. It's the same color as your car too.

What engine does she have?

Ca18et, ca20e, or vg30e?

[blaine]

It's a ca20 at the moment I plan for a ka swap for easy bolt in power... I looked a some rear window garnishes tht say Silvia they were 185 bucks tho..... A little too much for the time being maybe one day I'll be able to throw away 200 bucks on 2 pieces of plastic lol. I'll post finished headliner pics in a few I'm currently wrapping the a pillar and c pillars every time I do somethin to the car I love it more than before

There are a couple on Craigslist around my area. But not for 800 bucks

ok so here are a couple pics of my headliner, looks good i think i regret doing my sun shade in black now.... but i really dont want to drop my whole sunroof assembly to recover it again. i also need to paint my c pillars to match the black on the a pillars it was too much for me to wrap. but here is the outcome so far

also here is a pic of it my wife edited and her engine cover from her 12' yaris we just got her plannin in droppin it sometime in the near future too

[rice4life]

KA24de or e?

Either way the wiring is going to be a PITA.

Maybe drop 1200 on a skyline front clip and drop in an rb20. Either way wiring is not going to be fun.

I like that valve cover though.

acutally..... the singlecam will run with my electronics and different harness connectors, and the twin cam will run on 3 wires... not a pain at all man. either way its not happening for a little while im working on getting the stance right. its reliable so i aint gonna fix it til it breaks lol

[blaine]

well i washed the car today and detailed it i dunno why because my paint sucks butts.... but here are a couple of pics i took with it clean also my front two wheels ship tomorrow pretty stoked to finally have the full set for the car gonna change the way it looks dramatically

[Anonymoose]

Awesome. Can't see the pics at work but love the words so far

[sally pu]

love that interior work, where did you find the houndstooth pattern? not gonna copy it but I am having an issue finding fabrics

[blaine]

well im sure im not the only one with a houndstooth headliner out there lol... i had looked for it at a joann fabric store but didnt find what i wanted so i settled for black/white plaid. then i was at hobby lobby with wife helping her get stuff to paint her engine cover and seen it walking past so i got it there. wal mart has alot of fabric designs too i got the black for my a pillars there as well

[blaine]

well i got my front rims on yesterday and like i figured im scrubbing on the tires due to lack of camber... if anyone has a spare set of front s13 coilover to donate please let me know. they can be extremely used i just need camber adjustment and some height adjustment. here is what it looked like all mounted up

[padraigmk3]

your tires need a diet

[blaine]

true... i like the back the way they are but the fronts definitely need to go smaller... but its a budget build and so it takes time. its a learning experience for me in tire stretch anyway i mounted those myself and plan on smaller just figuring up what size im gonna go with at the moment
