i like it, not a big fan of that chassis but when done right and simple look really badass. Stay away from useless crap and such as wings n stickers n keep if up mang!

Hoffman5982 · 05-23-2012, 08:14 PM

God these cars have grown on me.

You should run a simple T25 setup with the oem turbo manifold for that oem look you're going for and earn that turbo badge

Looks awesome, keep up the good work!

sex14 · 05-23-2012, 08:24 PM

yea thats the winter/spring plan saw the sleeper ka-t pics and fell in love.

NME-S14 · 05-23-2012, 08:32 PM

I see the fortune auto coils in the front but what did you do for the rear?

*fliprayzin240sx* · 05-23-2012, 08:39 PM

I would have done a CA18DET swap and keep it fresh.

240zach · 05-23-2012, 08:50 PM

that last pic looks so good

snofufu · 05-23-2012, 09:06 PM

xh3nry · 05-23-2012, 09:21 PM

Wow that s12 looks sick. Is that hood scope oem?

Johnphen · 05-23-2012, 09:38 PM

Great job, clean functional and badass to boot.

kei1 · 05-23-2012, 09:45 PM

the rear has fortune auto shocks. i disassembled the rear coils since the rear has more of a 280zx style of suspension where the coil is separated from the coil. ill post pics soon.

kikcaffine · 05-24-2012, 06:55 AM

OMG your so F&F drinking coronas

PoorMans180SX · 05-24-2012, 06:58 AM

I like the look of this thread, nice quality pictures too.

You might want to start a new thread in the build section though, mods are going to lock this one up.

Kenzo · 05-24-2012, 07:23 AM

Super clean for an 84. Damn car is as old as I am and looks less beat up, lol. Great job on the build.

WanganNastyMachine · 05-24-2012, 08:54 AM

Damn! I really like you S12 man, we need more clean ones around this forum. Keep it up, I'll be keeping an eye on the thread. Good start.

coupesallday! · 05-24-2012, 09:09 AM

hell yeah shit is clean my bro has the same year. looks good on the longchamps.
oh and it's fj20et

ixfxi · 05-24-2012, 09:25 AM

"the unwanted s-chassis build"

should be titled "the posted in the wrong section build"

gaddamn i hate these transformer looking cars. at least this one looks nicer than the usual.

still hate these cars though.

David B S12 · 05-24-2012, 09:46 AM

^^^^^^^^^ hater

i think s12's are dope. its good to know that you can easily pick it up, and turn it into a drift car/give it stance/have a good time with it... rwd jap with IRS (except for sra models 84')

goodluck! cant wait to see more pics

ShakotanGazelle · 05-24-2012, 01:56 PM

Bump for another S12 owner!
Shits looking hot!

elmajul · 05-24-2012, 04:49 PM

Very nice s12!

sex14 · 05-24-2012, 05:18 PM

thanks guys, btw heres a pic of my old rides. my s14 wifes s13 and my old 260z with a l28 swap.

Boorito · 05-26-2012, 09:01 AM

This thread is win. I can not wait to find a deal on an S12, but I have NEVER seen one as clean as yours, good save! Your cars are so simple and clean, and thats how it should be.

sex14 · 05-26-2012, 08:17 PM

thanks bro. id do something more with the exterior but my budget wont allow it lol. so i opt out for the simple look

.

shinhed · 05-27-2012, 09:06 PM

Back in the day, I was going to build one of these with a set of white Impul Silhouettes but, never could find a clean enough s12 coupe locally. Anyways, you shit looks awesome.

sex14 · 06-05-2012, 10:50 PM

impuls would be nice

drifting1two40 · 06-06-2012, 02:28 PM
