my new toy
 
Nope sorry its not an s12 :o
i got an evo 4 that needs a little work to get it up to scratch for a good price
It needs a new front strutt and a bit of paintwork on a few scratches here and there. It did have punctures etc but sorted them out today

The only other issue is i think some numbnuts has fitted a tripple plate clutch in there as its sqwarking at me when i pull away and lighting all 4 wheels up. And thats at 2krpm. Its going to be a nightmare in traffic if i cant get used to it. Its not drivable until suspension arrives really but i will try some no throttle idle rpm pull aways in it and see if thats any better

It has the below fitted at least, need to have a propper nose to see what else has been done

ARC induction kit
Blitz dump valve
De-catted
HKS Super Drager Exhaust System
Front and rear strut braces
Clifford Alarm
225/40/18's
Vented and grooved discs all round
Greddy gauges
uprated clutch that i dont know what it is!
Private number plate

I like it! I give my approval. So much fun can be had with a rally car, which the S12 is not.

There selling for around 4k at the moment if there paint is in good condition craig. i had a look through a gearbox hole today and theres a tripple plate in there for sure. Cant see the brand, the cover is a metalic dark grey.

Insurance in the uk on them doesnt seem to be of any issue irish s12. I have trade insurance anyhow, insured on any vehicle fully comp

Yeah it's no problem over there for sure,but over here the insurance companies won't even insure them.I havn't seen one for sale over here in a while,I'd say they have all been shipped over there at this point.I also have trade insurance,but it doesn't apply to most people,and you cant just take out a trade policy over here any more.Nowadays you have to be able to prove you own a garage.You can insure an fq400 more easily in Ireland than an evo 4.It's stupid to say the least.
