a set of wheels, lowering springs, engine mods and zorst, keep it as a sleeper

should i modify this beast mildly ie just the standerd issue stuff like
I/C,airfilter ,exhaust,and try and keep it as standered as possible a conquest model for the s12oc.
or should i modify as above and also bodykit the car with a full paint job
as i am confused now as the car is in great condition what do i do opinions please

i was thinking on the lines of a sleeper with a silent zorst instead of a loud one keep it low key like a ninja slient and deadly lol

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

i will be definately staying with the std spoiler but will the fbg version as soon as i sort this headlight switch problem out i will be aiming for a realiable 220-250bhp at the wheel set up once i have got the car motd and taxed as know i cant wait to be in the driving seat of this beast

Congrats, Nice car mate!

I could see you had been deliberating over this for a while.

In my opinion, being such a nice example, you should keep all mods pretty stealth, nothing too garish.

Nothing worng with a bit of extra power though.

if your wanting 250bhp atw mate you will need my engine spec, with forged pistons, 200sx rods, oil squirter, piper cam, porting, 3 inch exhaust, t34 turbo and after market managment, you will need to get rid of that restrictive afm, i'd say 230bhp at the fly is possible with a t3 and minor mods.
