Its a hard choice. As a club we dont really have any cars for concours competitions so that would be nice.

But at the same time in my opinion the s12 does need at least a few tweaks to make it special.

I would say maybe....

lower the tyre profile to 205/50/15 tyres
lower it 40mm
2 1/2 inch bore exhaust system with a stainless backbox with 3" tailpipe
12psi and a tidy intercooler setup.

I wouldnt go for a bodykit or respray at all,maybe just a few touchups on age marks etc. There are not many tidy original looking examples.You have yourself a real beauty there.

Stay with the std rear spoiler,maybe go for a fibreglass copy of it if you cant get hold of an unperished one.I intend on getting an fj20 s12 for concours myself once one turns up


This is great news that you have another s12 Flexxx. Glad to have ya back
