One of the few s12 coupes I have seen. CA20E engine is unbelieavably underpowered, but the SX makes up for it in responsive handling and being an absolute TANK. I swear this car is indestructable.

Hopefully a 5 speed swap in about 7 months or so. Buying myself an Alpine audio set for xmas, this is my first and current daily. Car has been in the family since it's purchase in 87, I even have the original window sticker. I've done a lot of work on the car to get it running, been in my garage, not running, for the past 3? years or so. Exhaust manifold and a general dirty engine bay were the biggest issues. Starter was also giving me trouble. Interior is near mint. Discuss

Until I get another car yes :P..Once I get another car I might track rat it though.

Mods are definitely to start soon, now that I have it running.....

The damn manual conversion is going to cost me tons though =/..oh well, I'll survive.

Thanks guys, and yeah a KA swap would definitely be in consideration, but at the time I only have the money and time for smaller mods. Like I said, in 6 to 7 months the big changes will be occuring . I'll keep you all updated. Personally I love the S12's, they handle incredibly.

And that's cool White Comet, personally I think the back end of the coupe is too flat, it needs something going on, whereas the hatch takes care of that..I would say a small lip or something, but i've had no luck finding one.
