So here goes nothing. I’m new to Edmonton (about a month) and I am enjoying it so far. I own (among other things) a 1985 S12 200sx turbo with a few mods. My car is black and in pretty good shape for an 85. Just thought I would sign up and say hi. Mods on my car include. Manual boost controller Volvo front mount intercooler high/low boost switch short shifter 2 1/2 inch straight pipe exhaust true cold air intake Aluminum radiator with electric fan conversion Centerforce DF clutch MSD ignition (2 boxes, 2 coils, wires, and such) Custom made progressive rate lowering springs Monroe struts up front and shocks out back EBC Brake pads. 1g DSM BOV A couple other little thing I can’t really remember right now. Anyways, that’s my car. I snooped a bit and it seems I have the only S12 here. Lucky me. :? I’ll post pics when I can get some. ---

I had an S12 but I sold it in the spring. It had a few mods but nothing serious. Looking forward to seeing your car. 🙂 ---

Yeah, welcome to the NECC! There’s a guy in calgary with a red s12, I believe. They’re pretty cool looking cars considering the era they came out of. 😃 You say you’re new in Edmonton - where did you live before? ---

Here it is before I cleaned up the bay a bit and made some proper mounts. ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/f/7/f77ad24ab112a6f83b74efbfd4a5ce61e2fe4f4e.jpeg) And I would gladly come out and show off my car except fot the fact it’s hiding away from road salt and snow back in BC until spring comes. Right now I have my crusty old 85 Ford f150 4x4. I can’t wait to get my car back on the road. Oh and I’m from southern BC. The west kootenays to be exact. ---

Import one! FJ20 is pure sex! You’d probably be one of the first, if not the first to import an S12 from Japan. ---

Nope i have never been to a meet. There is another guy who did the same swap after me. It was completely done by AutoDream i think, probably the guy you are thinking of. Dont think he is on this forum… the car is for sale in the bargain finder though.
