So yeah, as most of you know, I bought a 1988 S12 SE model.  So far it has been a fun ride with this car.

She was nicknamed my Scarlet Starlet cause I used to sing for a band and we did a lot of RHCP songs, and I love RHCP.  All my friends knew this, so when i pulled up in this car, they wanted something that sounded old, but not old, so they came up with Scarlet Starlet.

So far, she's beaten a riced Eclipse (not quite sure on the year, i thought it was a 2000 or higher) from a pull at 70 mph nose to nose to 120+.  She beat a Dodge Grand Caravan on the way to work today, and she beat a riced out 2001 civic.

Things done:
- Transmission flush and refill.
- Spectre Intake installed.
- NGK plugs installed.
- New 300ZX Fuel filter installed.
- My trusty radio installed.
- A half assed cleaning of the interior.
- A half assed cleaning of the exterior.
- A true clean and detail of the underbody, with rust remover and sand paper.
- Blacked out front corners and front turn signals (Doing this actually made me not mind the Mk2 grill, though i still may just remove it and fabricate my own.
- Differential flush and refill.
- MSD Blaster SS coil install.
- Upper interior door panel vinyl repair with my trusty 3M trim adhesive and carpet knife.
- Rubberized undercoating of the entire underbody.
- Interior Stripped.
- Painted her flat black.
- Painting the interior to match soon.

Planned (In order):
- Manual Trans Swap (Just need the flywheel from Sterling, and need to buy the Exedy Stage 2 Ceramatalic clutch).
- 300ZX ECU and MAF upgrade (still in search for the 300zx of choice).
- Larger TB from a KADE. (waiting to find even a single fucking 240sx in the yard).
- Single remote mount turbo.

I'd rather be a matchstick than a lighter.

Quote from: ka-t.orgHella flush and all associates should be gunned down for brainwashing people into thinking a 225 and lots of camber is proper wheel fitment. THAT IS EASY, anyone can camber a skinny as tire till it dosnt rub. Now fitting an 11 with a 315 on stock fender with reasonable camber, that is fitment. And looks, and performs better than both.

Fucking getto sunroof FTW!!!!!!!!!!

You'd better put something over where you sanded, otherwise hella rust will come back.  You can pick up rubberized underbody coating from anywhere.  That underside was pretty clean, most of the S12 underside is undercoated factory, and it has held up quite well on that car.

one MILLION dollars, mwuahahaha hahaha ahahaha -hack cough hack- aha.

seriously though, not for sale, i like em a lot.

they already stopped SO many rocks from flying up and shattering a 2007 Chevy Silverado's windshield while i was driving down the road........if only that one huge one hadnt flown up around them.

Sterling, due to the above information, i didnt have the money to buy the rubberized undercoating yet.

Really? if their not, ill replace them with a hella better set of fogs tonight then.
the ones I have are more or less pointless anyways, not bright at all.

Oh yeah, and Blaster 3 coil installed ftw, i actually do notice a huge difference in performance, its not just a do nothing upgrade.  It was a bitch to find a place to mount it though, since it isnt the E-Core style coil, but no where stocks those, and i needed a project last night, not 3 days after that night....the girlfriend left me.

They did come stock on a few s12's in Japan, maybe even in Oz and Europe(IDK), but not over here. The ones I have are bosch fog lights, they look as close to the ones in Japan as you can get aftermarket wise....also I think the one on the pathfinder look similar too.

NEVERMIND....they did actually come with them as an option...gregorio has them stock on his S-12
