Nice link Dion, I think the main thing that puts me off the JDM style is how much body work would be involved.
The mojority of the JDM style cars I have seen have been mint, I am not sure if I want a really mint shiney car, I should also imagine that would involve extra cost paying someone to get the bodywork & paint up to scratch. As my back yard body skills wouldant be upto the job lol.

With the A12 I should imagine the only way to get a massive performance boost that would keep me satisfied would be a turbo set up.
I would like a CA but that would probably end up being too much of a project for me, just trying to be realistic.
Thanks

Hi guys I have been thinking for about a month now what I should do with my 120Y.
Sofar I have come up with a few different ideas.
Firstly I am really interested in the performance side of things. I would love to build a beast of a car and just leave the body looking like it is, like a old granny sleeper :)
I think I have a fairly short attention with cars at the moment, meaning if I took on a massive engine conversion it would probably end up forsale before its finished.
I was thinking about A14 ect but I dont know I think I would still be chaseing more power.
I would love to turbo my original A12 but I know absolutly nothing about turbo set ups, I have been spent time looking through various turbo threads. I am a bit concerened about the cost involved in that one.
I am aware of the L series motors but still looking into that one.
At the moment I have a set of extractors & a webber carby, just wating for some more cash to have a exhaust made up.

So while I am trying to work out whats going to happen with a engine I have been trying to work out which route to take body wise.
I like the idea of a old school rally look not worry about the finish on the body work just add a set of arches some rims front lip some spot light and go and have some fun with it.
I like the look of the JDM cars but not sure if I want that on this one.
I could just use this one as a daily when my current one gives up the ghost, and by somthing already modified, been thinking about a 1600 latly that might be a bigger engine to work with.
Does anyone else have any ideas on what could be done with the 120Y?
The first couple of pics is how the car looks now and the third pic is a 120Y I saw on the net that caught my attention, best part of that one would be I already have the primer black paint sitting here doing nothing.
What do you guys think about the black one?







Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
Thanks
Andy

Any chance you can post some more pics of the car / interior and everything that it comes with.
Also a list on everything thats been done to the car and what it needs to be finished.
Thanks
Andy

Its comming along nice, your giving me some inspiration for mine now.

Dion I would definatly be interested in one of those lips if you decide to make some up.
Keep me posted!
Thanks

Nice build sofar, I would like one of those front lips for my Y.

Shame you are not located closer, as I have two sets of rims here I would like fixed up.

Ok thanks for your help guys, I was just wondering what would be a good size tyre to fit on these rims?
Thanks

Excellent, thanks for that :)

Hi guys I am looking at a set of rims for my 120Y.
The size is as follows 14 x 6 +20 - 4x114.3
These numbers mean nothing to me lol, just doing some research now.
But I was wondering if you could tell if this size would fit on my 120Y without the need of any spacers ect?
Thanks
Andy
