Hi guys,

I've just bought this cheap as a new drift project. Needs a couple of bits doing to it, but ordered parts already and got it in to have some work done later on today.

Just thought I'd pop it up here for peoples thoughts and any suggestions on modifications as I'm new to the S12 world.

I co-own a drift team called Team JapRiders based in the United Kingdom.

Cheers guys,

James.

Low and wide,
What are your plans motor wise?

I'm not sure if I like the S13 SE wheels on an S12 or the Supra wheels on an S12 more.

Yeah - the colour is what attracted me to buy the car in the first place, followed by the fact there are only a handful left in the UK. It's actually Lambo Orange :)

I'm not keen on the S13 wheels, but I will use them on the back when drifting, so they'll go a vibrant colour. They are surprisingly strong, so safe bet to keep those.

Engine wise I'm not sure on yet, I've got a CA18DET Turbo to go on her for a minute so that it isn't as stupidly underpowered as the ET's come. My plan eventually I think though is to SR-20 or RB25, whichever is easiest to come by when I plan on doing her.

As part of my drift team, I have a sponsorship with Rota Wheels, so I shall probably get a set of those for road use.
