i ran isc's on an s13 drift car i had, was very happy with performance and quality for the price. I have also used second hand cusco, jic's and teins and wouldn't by second hands coilovers again, people clean them up and sell them on as they're usually leaking or knocking or spring rates are not suited.

if you using the complete xmber and lower control arms and rack then the geometry is set already, when i did mine i shotened the x member, moved the lower control arm mounts and had custom control arms, it took me 2 goes, first time i lowered it down and the wheels toed in when i jacked it they went to 0 toe. the distance from centre of tie rod ball joint to centre of lower control arm ball joint needs to equal to centre of steering rack to centre of lower control arm pivot bolt and also distances laterally equal also when wheels are facing straight. a diagram would be easier to explain.
The other problem is a std 1200 steering colume is held at bottom by steering box, with the rack conversion i made a custom mount at end of std colume that mounted to factory points on firwall and modded the colume shaft to attach the 2 s13 universal joints and short shaft, i also shortened the colume shaft as i am a big bugger and found the steering wheel to close in a ute.

Bought this some time ago, had been looking for awhile, decided i had to have it as i new i could repair it, but forgot that running my own workshop and having a wife daughter and another on way doesn't leave me with much sparetime, hence it is going to be a slow build, well at least till it gets a little warmer so can stay in shed longer.
I bought the orange 1200 off ebay for under $300 just so could use the front clip, bonus was it runs and drivers and is manual, yellow one is auto and has had later model motor with offset engine mouts fitted.
Some specs on old yella: std, come with original owners manual, has had disk brake upgrade, come with boot of spares, and filled my ute with spares also including stanza struts and brakes, 2 motors in pieces, pair of trx wheels, datsport hydraulic clutch conversion kit, 2 decarb gasket kits, spare x member, hub caps (but dented) solid front external sun visor thing, mad dat steering box brace,new carpet, and allsorts of other crap in boxes.
I have purchased new radiator support, apron, guard, bonnet and s/s bonnet trim. have also sourced second hand grill and bumper thanks to this site.
Am still needing bumper mounts, and is there a s/s trim bellow the grill?
I spent some time on Sunday(fathers day) drilling out the spot welds and removing mangled material. It has also had the bottom section of drivers a pillar replaced at some point and had rough repair of firewall and floor in that corner, so i had a bit of porter power and dolly session straightening this also.
One thing that i try not to get into is the painting, so if there's a painter on this site that wants some fab work (steel, ali s/s may be cams roll cage?) done and wants to do a trade of services contact me.

at the end she was powered by a rebuilt to standard spec ca, running a std rb20 turbo(ceramic) at 21psi,link ecu,custom inlet manifold, feul rail and a 1uzfe throttle body with tracrion control machined off, rx7 injectors, bosch 910 pump, std box with brass button clutch, r32 complete rear end std viscous lsd, i run a 12.3 with some second hand semi slicks then tried it out for drifting.
I had a heap more pictures on a laptop but when i broke up with ex she deleted them all, nice girl she was! I ended up removing the front clip at fire wall and tub framed it tieying back to roll cage, fitted s13 x meber and steering rack, increased front track to match rear and started to glass guards to match pumped rear, i ran bluebird 910 struts with custom 5 stud hubs r32 rotors and 4 pot brakes, custom rose joint bottom arms and castor rods and rose joint as top of strut for camber adjustment. i fitted the std radiator support panel and had a cut down truck intercooler with wraparound end tanks, my intercooler pipe work was about 200mm each side. When i decided to move to oz i sold running gear on trademe to a guy who was goin to fit it into a mrk2 cortina and kept shell for a year then got a mate to sell it on. Not sure what become of it.
Pics have been scanned from photos i recently found in cuboard.
I had this along time and did all mods except wiring computer while i was completeing my apprenticship as (NZ spec) Fitter/ welder (boilermaker/welder)
I now run a small workshop in adelaide mainly completing domestic structual steel, balustrade etc, i still do about 30% automotive engineering, have all gear for cams roll cages, ali and s/s tig work and have my own line of turbo manifolds(machine pipes for merge collector) identical to 6boost items but priced realistically. i will be adding a write up of 1200 sedan that am repairing at present that i bought off p plater who took out bustop poll.
