Hi Chaps
Finally got my account activated it seems
I have owned an S14a, for about year and a half, modded it to 280bhp the 'proper way' with avcr, fmic filter etc, but started with the important bits, and got bigger brakes, locking collars, coil-overs and wider wheels first
I then sold it to an guy training to be a pro-racing instructor, for a lot less than I'd spent on it due to getting married, and needing to buy furniture. Loved the handling, not sure about the looks lol.
Been stuck with a clio (16v 1.8 but gets at least 36 to the gallon), that I am hating at the moment. Want to get back into RWD jap cars again, and really starting to like the look of the S12's. They seem to have a pretty heavy arse (too long), but I love the fronts. Real 80's mean, especially the rev2 (or whatever the official 'mark/phase/gen' is, with the full width slates below the pop ups.
Hoping to pick up a nice example from an S12 enthuthiast when I sell my clio and finally start to enjoy driving again
I like to take active part in clubs as a member and share the knowledge I have (if any
).
Other cars i've owned are 2 MG Metros, mini 850cc, mini 1000cc, MG Metro Turbo, Nissan Primera, Metro GTi. Much prefer driving RWD now though, after having the 200, and love jap cars thanks to a LOT of sensible design they seem to have compared to other countries.
Oh and I really just found this site by trawling trying to find stuff out about S12's. Seems like there is a huge lack of suspension options for these cars though. Is there any realistic coil-over option, or aftermarket alignment bits you can get (camber correction etc).
Anyway, hope I can be a a valued member here
I'm also on SXOC (a member) as Scougar, so can check me out for my rep there if needed.
