Not this asshole again...

My name is Jonathan, i am 18 years old. I have wanted a 200 since my best friend and i picked up a 1986 200sx turbo for $750, his car was ill and it took a turn for the worst when he could not afford it. piston #3 came through the side of the block near the turbo, he could not pay the tow bill so the company kept the car. we had a bunch of new parts on it:(.

I bought my new car yesterday. Its in very good condition on the out side but the inside needs work. My interior is really stained..with some rips... I need new motor mounts to. I am most likely going to get a CA18DET and swap it in at this point and try to get new interior. i got it down from the $700 the guy was selling it for to $500. I have a full garage repair manual to help when its needed but i might try and make some mods, No promises but there are a few things i want to try angel

Welcome! interesting color. By the looks of it, you already have the engine out? Best of luck with the CA18DET  cool2

Hahahaha the motors not out yet lol

I will. i am going to do a quick tear through the car and try to rip out the interior and do rust repair and then jump into my motor mounts. my engine looks like its about to run laps under my hood it shakes and twists so much:laugh: after i get that stuff down i might grab some Tokico Blues or something and lower it a bit

nice car and welcome to the ca club they are fun motors even in stock form mine is stock and tons of fun....

That color is factory, and RARE ... and my FAVORITE factory color for an S12 actually.

Welcome to C-S12! Get you some drop and rid the gap. Plus those struts are probably old as phuck.

Whats goin on people? Been a long time since Ive been here last.

Actually... I wonder how many of you actually remember me.

Did I miss anything good?

tacos

Ah shit, whats up Dave?

Man, I was so near you earlier this week, just got back from DC on Tues.

Still got that clone of my old S12?

hey i remember you! lol

How ya been dude?

pretty good, at bmw school now.
how about yourself? ever get another s12?

Nah unfortunately... I actually sold my S12 as it sat in my driveway rusting away for so long. Some guys turned it into a track day beast and at least its tearing ass around somewhere instead of rotting.

Still have the S13 though, but I am thinking of  using it as a trade in on a new Genesis. Thinking hard about it.

oooh snazzy. v6 or turbo 4?

Dude... Come on, R-Spec Turbo. Is there a better one?

i dont know anything about the genesises. genesii? haha. i bought a new car too! a ford ranger haha

Ahh... I hate ford.

The R-Spec is the best Genesis trim. It has all the track upgrades (Torsen LSD, Brembo Brakes, Suspension) and is lighter than the base, and is super cheap. Only like 23k for it.

thats a good deal.
and new ford is alright, mazda power baby

Of course I remember you man.  Good times indeed.  Now to answer your pm, but do indeed keep in touch!

mr sir, i remember you! and now im an admin! <3

Whats up DerMetzger! Long time no post haha. Welcome back. Also:

I remember you, I saw a porn video once and though it was you. Not even joking btw lol

I remember you
Just not well Tongue

As for the genesis, I hate one of them with a passion after test driving two of them.
V6>2.0t
The V6 snarls, where the 2.0t kinda.... sucked... It was lackluster, boring, and the turbo just didn't do it at all.
Test it yourself, You'll see.
And then you'll realize, "If I'm going to be spending 33k on a hyundai with a GOOD engine, I might as well just spend 33k on a bog-standard 3-series". Have more HP than the 2.0t, and better fuel economy than BOTH of them, and have a BMW that will be taken care of when you take it back to the dealer.

And then you'll just want to shoot yourself for selling the S13, because it's cheap, and buying a new car isn't.
Note: I would never own a new 3 series... And the genesis just makes zero sense for my lifestyle. I can't agree with either of these cars.
Wow, I'm optimistic today! (No sarcasm)

Cheesy

My advice? Buy an E30, swap in a S50B30, and be happy for the rest of your life, because you only spent 4k on a light ass car with 240hp, gets 32mpg, and is less boxy than sylvester stallone in the 80's

MUTHAFUCKIN POPSICLES BITCH!!

Aww, you guys make me feel missed. You gave me a warm tingly feeling down in my pants, but then again that might just mean I need to scratch my balls.

Blitz returned recently, too, your question best covered here lol:
http://club-s12.org/v3/index.php?topic=31405.0

Where the hell you been? Screw the Genesis, get you a four door mamsy-pamsy daily driver and another S12 Tongue

Looking at motor swaps, motor sizes, specs and needed fab work. Thinking about dropping the CA18Det project swap for a
KA24De-t.

Thinking about buying the motor an taking my time building it up in the garage. Top to bottom rebuild, maybe upgraded cams or something and find a Garret T25 turbo and BOV. Make the mounts I need etc. Get a wiring harness, computer and inter cooler. Then once I have the time and extra cash I will begin the installation.

Think i might have found some headlight replacements. My moms boyfriend has a little pickup truck that he says has a housing for HID bulbs? gonna look into it. I was gonna drill out the 3 prongs on the back of an old light and see if i could make the housing work without making it look to ghetto hahahaha

^^^^^blasphemy...lol If youre serious about the KA-t build you should check out KA-T.org. They have tons of good info on building them. not to mention unless youre going for retarded amounts of power, they're a fairly good bang for your buck.

First off, welcome to the club man!  It seems like this club is getting more and more members faster than before (maybe just noticing because of my on and off activity here haha)  I really like the color you found.  I almost picked up a notch in the same color before my 84 found me (or in other words another member found it for  me  yay!) I really dig it.  A lot of people are going for the ka swap here, personally im going down the path of vg power... BUT the KA makes lots of sense, good torque, decent power,replacement parts can be had at any time and its a fairly easy swap from what Ive heard.  Anyhow, welcome again and GL on the build  yes

The nice thing about the KA24DE is just dumping it in gives you a peppy motor with a nice power upgrade, and that means you can take the time to handle everything else... exhaust, suspension, etc. and get it up to shape while not suffering under a wimpy motor. Then when you've done all that, you can collect the manifold, turbo and other associated stuffs, and turbocharge it at your convenience. Whereas starting off with a boosted motor means you're committed to do a lot more to get it running.

DerMetzger on 06:22:24 AM / 16-Oct-10It had every option from 84 aside from the "Oh Shit" foot brace.

Yea, I remember you too brah.

Dont worry, Ill be around, I got a project going thatll keep me here.

It really does' depend on what you want to do with the car. As stated, the CA18DET will cost more in the beginning but it is also built for turbo. The KA does' have low compression but will need attention for serious power. My friends KAT has 400whp. It has also been built from the ground up. A simple T25 and low boost should be fun and rebuilding a CLEAN low mileage engine should not be necessary. If you go with a larger turbo in the future, I'd suggest building the engine, otherwise you will be throwing money away. Good Luck!

I have gotten together with people i know and talked with them separately and have started discussing plans for a solid car and money matters and what fab needs to be done. I am not sure about some of the things that were talked about but i might have a secret build coming up..... I will most likely turn into a hermit and not come out of my garage for a week, except to take care of some necessity's and do research   lmao

whats up man Wink good too ssee you back mug

howdy! Considering a Genesis eh? As was said previously, don't waste your $$ on the 4cyl Turbo. feels weak for 200 hp. the 6psd manual makes it nice, but still just..meh. the V6, makes it a better drive.

One argument could be that you'll modify the "turbo" (boost controllers, exhaust, intake, whatever).There goes the warranty Hyundai does not endorse any performance adders. NONE. So if yo come in wth a CAI, boost controller,and an exhaust..your warranty will go away. Don't buy the turbo and plan to mod it, unless you can afford to pay for all the warranty issues. (which there will be many im sure)

My knowledge is first hand. I work at a fairly big (lots of volume) Hyundai dealer. as was said, drive them both before buying. big difference.

..and welcome back/to the Moderators.
