welcome aboard! Nice to see a clean S12 on here, those wheels really suit it. You'll be made to feel most welcome.

Nice, CA18ET powered I see.

I've my eyes on one much the same, left sitting aside for many years, has the same spoiler and everything, needs a bit of rust cut out and has the FJ hood buldge... biding my time

Anyone know the story behind this? Originally posted up by DarrenW a few days ago.

No! I saw that and went whaaaaaaaaaat?! but forgot to comment!. Very odd indeed! Maybe it's one for one of David's Japanese contacts? Unless it's a market specific homologation special?

ive seen a red version of that one above at a road rally before! i think it was a N/A version of it!?!

this si the only picture ive seen of the actual rally car on the safari rally. i remember there being a shell for sale on ebay last year at soem point aswell!

[wacomuk]

[PhoenixC]

Very nice. I do like these.
Which is probably just as well as I own one ;D

Not for much longer though as mine is on ebay at the minute.

I recall you got the 1.8 8v turbo, and the 2.0 16v n/a, but surprisingly, the 2.0 was the quicker car (on paper anyway). My friend had a string of 1.8's but only one 2.0. Seem to remember they were pretty rare. I always wanted one but never got one :-(
Great car! Looking forward to seeing more pics in the future!

Don't do it. You need to get that little devil under control! Listen to the angel.
