The S12 update

Let's face it, I'm old now. I think I'll be writing a lot more in this blog than I have been in the past few years of its existence. For starters, I've been getting a lot of questions and comments about the elusive S12 that I kept stored away in a garage somewhere. And frankly, it's gone! Forever, ever, ever. I sold the shell to a close friend of mine by the name of Hung and he's thrown in a CA18DET from his old black car and et cetera, how it's going to turn out, who knows? That's the fun part.

Recently, I was asked for a couple photos of its glory days for the S12Silvia calendar thing and while browsing through the sloppy, unorganized mess I call my archives, I reminisced a little bit about that old thing. I really liked how it looked, what a shame though that I hated that car so much. Hah. Any who, those two photos above are the ones I picked.

I'm sure you're all well aware that I now have three projects to attend to (those of which I haven't touched in probably a millenia) that consists of the cb750, 240z and that headache of an ae86 shell. Priority numero uno is pretty much the motorcycle since I'm in need of a daily here in San Francisco and then the s13 stuff I have left over will be thrown into the ae86; Ka24, front suspension, you name it.

There's also a ton of stuff I haven't posted here over the course of my absence, they should be popping up here and there as I find them in my daily travels. Enough talking though, here's the S12 junk; archives of its peak and ending with the lackluster photos of its demise.

Ruck is out! Initiating buy-cool-things and horde-bike-parts sequence.

Finally!

A few people are gonna be checking out the ruck this week! Time to get it out, move on, buy a bunch of bike parts and take the plunge into the cb750 hard tail build. (and ride the bus for awhile haha)

Money Pits

I'm broke like every god damn day because of them. I hope I can scrunge up enough money to drift at bobs donuts this month.

As for the bike, I've been slowly breaking it down. My goal is to get it where I want it and daily it by the new year.

triple tree!

DEAR PHILLIPS HEAD BOLTS

Please stop existing, you suck. Stick to wood or something, go away.



Some of you guys came out okay from the engine/trans case with my best phillips head, a lot didn't though. I had to dremel and bring in the counter part of your main and fierce competitor, flat head.








This asshole kept stripping and I had to dremel it twice. You can see some of the cutting in the case itself because you suck so hard. I will be replacing you with allen head bolts.


Sincerely,
Hank

happy halloween!
