That's pretty much the jest of my journy so far. I sometimes get frustrated and try to sell it, but like every thing else,
we reconciled our differences and it's still in my heart.

I always wanted one of these. A lot of S13 front suspension components will bolt right in if I'm not mistaken...


Welcome to green.

nice s12!

Yes, use can use S13 coilovers,LCAs,etc, but the rear is all Z31. I really wish S12s had some direct aftermarket support.

[roscoe]

These are awesome! Suprised more ppl arent messin with em

[Me86Rob]

I almost bought this car a few years back when it was on CL but I got my Z31 instead. I didn't know any better back then. So fuckin awesome.

YUUUUP!! I had it listed here at times also. I was continually increasing the price as I was learning more about these cars. I originally bought it to resell. It was blowing smoke under boost, the computer wasn't talking to me, 2nd gear was shot, etc,etc!! But as I learned more about turbos, the problems became increasingly simple to fix. The turbo issue was caused by the previous owner improperly piping the PCV system ( 10min fix). The computer problem was the fact that a wire had come loose on the TSR connector. The tranny was fun though. After buying two S12 trannys ( 1 a CA71B, 1 a CA71C ) I "learned" that the CA18DET swap was out of a S13 chassis and the 71C out of a S13 is 2 1/2" longer. So I was was to Lethal and bought a KA tranny and swapped the bell housing to a CA. And there's many stories (headaches) I could tell about my life with a S!@&#$12. But I love this car!

haha yeah i thought about buying the car too a long time ago :)

Don't get me wrong now, for the right price, I WILL sell her.......LOL

How cool man ! I have those same seats in my 83 Civic Wagon parts car and am going to swap them into my primary car. I'm really glad to know what they came out of.

did you see the Super Street that had one of these in it a few months ago ? I'm pretty sure it was Super Street...kid had a Namco plastic steering wheel in it from an arcade game. Cracked me up, but a fun car none the less.

Enjoy it! Hope it gets better and better.

I used to pass one of these for sale everyday on my way to work. I wanted to buy it, but couldn't afford another project. Good luck with a cool car.

[Elbow]

Nice! I almost bought a built boosted CA20 one a while back but decided against it.

[streak]

One of these days I'll get around to putting my boost controller on and retuning the old girl

[nisman]

I've got one of these collecting weeds... It's a turbo too. I would like to do a vget using a 33 sc block I have, but I don't think the steering will allow, just like my m30. ahh, just another project to never get to.. Glad to see one thats boosted and doesn't have an sr. Nice man!

[streak]

COOOL!!! Would be willing to donate that car to a great cause?(cause Im always needing parts!!!) and like most of us, I ain't got no funds!! LOL

[nisman]

Not really, sorry, but pullapart east in lithonia has one that's pretty nice saw it a couple weeks ago, they last a while out there... It's turbo..

[JITB]
