there was a black one FS in Union City w/ CA18ET

and +1 for old school silvia clone possibly?

[SpecV_Scott]

Awesome! A buddy of mine was doing a lot of research on them....he says a lot of S13 suspension stuff bolts up to the S12. He was even thinking you could take a whole S13 rear subframe and swap it into the S12 (but he wasn't sure yet). Definitely a sweet car. If you need parts, there's an almost untouched turbo S12 at the pull-a-part in Augusta. Lemme know what you need and I can take a look for you. (PM works best)

sweet yeah this car is alot of possablities not sure where i wana go

[SpecV_Scott]

Also, a JDM CA18DET or SR20DET should bolt in no problem.

[SE-Rious1]

yeah the car in the pic above it has a SR redtop in it but im thinking had to change the mounts out may have to in this one but idk cause its already a 2.0 mounts just not sure it close to the same

[SE-Rious1]

Pretty sure it's a hatch.
ah ok ill let ya know

[SE-Rious1]

so i may put a clean DE in it for now if i dont keep the stock CA20
but anyone know if a DE would drop right in or need mounts ?

[Ran]

I think the KA24DE swaps in with minimal effort. There is an S12 forum on the net. It's small, but it's there. Check it out for more info.

[SE-Rious1]

yeah ive seen a few forums but they wernt that great

[SE-Rious1]
