just picked up an s12 a couple weeks ago. dont know much about this car hopefully i will learn a lot on here! i plan on building this car up once i learn all my options. this is the second "tuner" car ive owned, my first was a 91' CRX Si' which i gutted, swapped, and boosted. i want to do the same with this car except full interior for daily use. let the building/learning begin!

Welcome aboard.  This is definitly the place you need to be for information on the S12.  Search will be your best friend here.  LOTS to mine through and knowledge to be had.

Dang really?
Maybe we should hit it up sometime?

I vaguely remember another member here posting about that SE due to the higher price the seller was asking haha. Anyway congrats on the purchase. Also, the SE should get very good mpg for its size so I am guessing it is likely in need of a tune up as well. Before my SE got totaled I'd consistently average 20+ mpg. Freeway was probably closer to 25mpg.
