Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself to this forum. My name is Humberto I'm 18 and I bought an 86 S12 which I plan to restore. Although the car is in good condition its still needs a couple of work, I plan to keep the car stock for the most part but will take ideas for modifications here and there.
welcome!
And if you want to swap for a little more power ka24de and ka24e is a good improvement and its one of the easier swaps

Welcome! You picked the right place for info on your 86. Is your car still stock? Pics please!

Oh man, my mistake I accidentally typed in the wrong year. My S12 is an 87 with a VG30E engine, and yes the car is stock.
For now I only have one picture as I have not had time to take more, but I will be posting more pictures as I get the time to take them.
looks legit what rims are those....
The guy I bought it off never actually mentioned the type of rims they were but I will try to find out and get back to you on that.
Wow not a bad start at all my friend, I'm 18 too but from Vegas. Check the poll for an s12 Vegas - Cali meet sideways_s12 is organizing and welcome to the forum!
As for modifications, just keep it clean/stock... with a classic Japanese mainland "look"
I've been searching the web for that small spoiler on the back there?
Where the hell is it?
any 86 to 88 s12 hatch should have it...
86-88 thanks no wonder i couldn't find it.
yeah turbo's and mk2's have the hard fiberglass wing those years and 84-85 has the foam wing i prefer the style of the foam wing but the material of the fiberglass wing if someone could make a fiberglass mold of the turbo wing i'd rock it it's a lower profile and imo looks better especially if it was molded to the car.... Sorry for the thread jack evilcookie lol now back on topic....
Post a side pic!

I concur!
No worries about the thread jack sideways_s12 lol.
So here is a side pick and a rear pick as requested.
From what I found out I'm rolling on XXR rims.
The the tail lights were also changed by the previous owner to some from an 84, personally I like them but I want to return it back to the stock 87 ones, any ideas of where I might be able to find them?
I have the same rims except my centers are black they are xxr's 002 yours look like 15x8 as well....

s12rich on 07:19:01 PM / 14-Jan-13this is a very cool and pretty clean se awesome findYeah it was a good find considering that S12's aren't so easy to find, has a couple of problems as all old cars do, but it won't take much to fix.
16's not to bad....
What kind of steering wheel is that? lol it looks unfamiliar haha
looks aftermarket
Yeah it's an aftermarket steering wheel.
Personally I don't like it, its wayyyy small, and the guy who installed did a pretty bad job on it -__-
Not to mention he loved Hondas and Acuras, so it's got a big button in the middle that say "RS Type" -___-
Lol shitty

Link please I would love a momo steering wheel
Lol yeah a link for the hub would be nice.
I'm looking to replacing the steering wheel asap. I realy dont like the way it looks lol.
I got mine from this site because it was cheapest here but I guess the price went up lol you can always use the code number 3507 and search ebay for lower prices..

Do they have the quick release for it? I didn't see one....
Not sure about that... but I figure if a s13 quick release would work because the pattern of the bolts to the wheel would be the same, only the hub pattern differs?? idk
Dang, maybe it could work, I would really to have a quick release on the S12.
:glarestraight: I got pulled over the other day, damn cops, apparently my muffler is "too loud".
Now I have to go back to OEM but i willl be placing the one I have right now back on after its passed inspection.
