Lol shit. If 2 owners makes an S12 a whore, I can't even imagine what most S13s are nowadays.

My s12 was kind of a whore before I got it

lol. I have been asked why my corolla looks so weird, if it was a Honda prelude and was asked if that was me drifting my 240 onto an on ramp. I love how un heard of these cars are

Ugh, so much cambered-out ziptied ricey JDM tyte...

It's not my fault the world only sees the flashy, ridiculous part of the import scene, just saying.

im pretty sure these are diamond racing star steelies

sounds good, though i might be keeping them for spares. haha. but i am really wanting to go 15s on this car

lol ya people are not always the smartest. I had someone put a piece of paper on my window asking if my 240sx was for sale, and clearly on the rear, and car (WASNT) backed in, says 200sx.

15s would make this car look soooo much better. Though it wouldn't exactly help your already terrible camber issue.

wont change camber at all if i go 15s, but i actually did go 15s kinda! just bought 2 15x8 -30 offset wheels for the front, have to buy some 15x10s of them for the rear. ill get pictures once i buy new tires

Yeah Diamond makes a good wheel for a great price, but omfg they're heavy. As far as automotive styling goes... regardless of what one might or might not think about this S12... you got rid of an S13 for it :thumbsup:

Welcome to C-S12 ;)

hahah yup they are quite heavy. they are going to make great spares though. and thanks!

Pics of these new wheels

working on it, have to buy some tires first because the 195/65s that came on them are huge, so I'm thinking some 185/60s or 195/55s for the rear to use as spares till I order the other 2 wheels

The 7k notch saga continues....again!

Whaaa? 185's is too skinny. As it is, factory widths are 205's. 195 I can understand. You go 185 You'll be basically looking cool but gripping like shit. Is this a showcar only? 185's will look less like a wheel and tire combo and more like a ball. I understand what look you're going for, but just be aware it will suck for handling. If you're cool with that... knock yourself out.

they don't make many (any?) grippier tires in 185. As it is, finding them in 195's is hard unless you're back down to 14", and even then it's hard. 185 is just a shitty size for performance tires, unless you live in the EU where a lot of cars out there were produced with dinky wheels. And even then, not really for 16's.

they are being used as spares for the rear at the moment. I bought 195/55s for them. it's all good no need for nice grippy tires just for some daily drift spares. once I get the other 2 these will go on the front with brand new falken ziex 512 195/50s

"meow"?

lol the movie Super Troopers, they play a game how many times they can say meow to a violater. I am sitting in mcdonalds right meow.

you gonna keep it longer than the last 2 owners? and I like the just hated the previous owners attitude towards the car...

I love my SRA.

definitely planning on keeping it.. had it for less than a month and am 100% in love with the thing. doing a ka trans swap next weekend, just got a bov and drilled the wg to 12psi, vented the hood, and im already registered for 2 events in the next two months

DAMN,  lookin RAD bro!  S12's are the shit, huh?

negativeoffset on 08:07:08 PM / 02-May-12i take it you have a sra s12. haha. na rear trailing arms = gay... im working on the camber issue still.

Johnny proffitt is my name. there is like another camera phone video from in car where I was trying to hit the s13 and then another go pro video

Arro on 12:01:20 PM / 03-May-12lol until the SRA's H190 blows up. IRS can run the R200. It speaks for itself. And I'd think that negative camber in the rear would *help* drifting.

got the quarter panels! started cutting them tonight, hopefully i can get them done and finish painting my car by friday for drift atlanta! ill update with pictures hopefully tomorrow

Very subtle, I like it a lot. Probably the only "widebody" conversion on an S12 to ever look good.
Now take out some of that camber and fill them new guards!

thanks man! and that's the plan. i need to find a rear subframe to modify! and time to do it :(

I was talking to this one S130 guy from ratsun, and he did his by just moving the inner pick up point at the control arm up and the outside down and welding in spherical bearings.. He didn't even touch his crossmember.
Shit worked out pretty well for him. I dunno, just throwing out ideas I guess.
