at least it has gone to a good home and not the crusher, but it still sucks when your car leaves you

ive got a rust free 37k mk2 g plate s12 Ken, Ive just got to go and pick it up. Im staying with the s12s im just going down a different route with the next one

I wont be aiming for big power with my next s12. Im going for club concourse.


I have a pulsar gtir that ive got on jic magic coilovers all round and camber tops etc that im having a bit of a laugh in at the moment. That is for sale as im just playing about in different cars for a bit and selling them on at a profit. Ive already made enough to buy half a tvr tuscan in doing this which is the car which is at the end of the chain. Then il mess about in that and see what happens from there.

Me and claire keep thinking of moving abroad so nothings set in stone, We just need to make a final decision and bite the bullit

The pulsar looked pretty clean, when I came down to pick up the seats from you Jon. How does it compare to driving the Silvia ?
Regards,
Ian.

Its a lot easier. The silvia was a bit of a handful and i loved getting it out of shape. Its near impossably in the gtir. In the very wet it doesnt loose loose traction at all in a straight line with your foot flat on the fllor 0-100. Ive just about been able to 4wd powerslide it round bends when its really wet by snatching at the steering and flooring it to get it going. its setup so that its only very slightly bias towards the front wheels in that it will just go slightly light on the front before it does on the back.Its nowhere as quick as the silvia was either, obviously. Nice car though anyway. Its enjoyable to drive to work

So it will be the pulsar for rainy days and your new s12 for when the sun shines then .
I guess the pulsar is more of a rally inspired design, so it will have to go round the bendy bits well .
If you end up with a TVR, you won`t have any problems getting the rear out of shape .
regards,
Ian.
