I'm going to have nightmares after seeing that wiring. Interesting car though, kinda retro-cool.

the wiring pic where it looked all crazy was the before, on the after pic below i wrapped the wire with e tape and used one of those plastic covers

basically a s13 ahs the ecu on the wrong side

so, chassis to harness, i extend the wires about 4 feet, to the other side of the car, then through the firewall
then into my ecu, in the glove box

Guy I knew was building an S12 same time/place I was building my ST165, didn't wanna let my All-trac know but I was jealous

Since its super budget with you I doubt you're gonna do paint, but it'd be nice to see a unified paint scheme on this car rather than the hodgepodge colors 240's like to flaunt

the hood, is a long story

came with the car with ghost flames. like flat black over flames=ghost flames

uber gay

so while i had the blue car apart i make it more-gay with a can of white spray paint
then i tested out rolling red house paint which came out alright



lol when i had it like that it grabbed lots o attention

but eventually im gonna take the hood and get it pro painted

id rather get a mk2 buldge hood, so i dont have to tilt my hood, because tilted hoods are mad retarded in my opinion

i actually found a red one at the yard i was gonna paint, 46 bux... but they took the s12 away, it was a v6 model

or my second option is the turbo hood. but those are very hard to come buy



aero.

getting this kit soon, from NC for 100 bux,
needs work









erubuni
the onyl kit made really for the s12, other then the stock s12 kits... and its very rare

but will work out

i almost went down there but he said he had work like 25 min down the road. so next paycheck hopefully i can pick it up


another reason why my car isnt so low
