Hi everyone... Got an urgent one...

I'm intending to replace the standard 4"x12" rims and 155SR12 tyres with 5.5"x13" rims and 185/60R13 tyres. I know there isn't any hassles with the Rolling diameter so the speedo will remain the same, but I want to know if I'll have any hassles with the wheel/ tyre rubbing against the panel or struts. The strut is standard (no Stanza modded one) so any advice is well appreciated. I also don't want to use things like spacers.
Thanks in Advance guys

In most cases of 120Y's, the glovebox was part of the whole dashboard. I say most cases in case there is one out there that is in fact separate. The front panel (ie the glovebox door) is removeable if that's what you mean

Hi Razor...

All of those parts are interchangeable. I just replaced the A12 in my 120Y with an A14 and carried all of those things over. Especially the flywheel as it is significantly lighter than the 14's, thus giving you a more responsive engine.

2332 is pretty well right on the money. I only just this weekend did what you're talking about... I took out the A12, painted the engine bay and replaced it with a shiny new A14. I'd allow a few hours but the important thing is not to rush. It's better to take an extra hour now than have to come back later. Best of Luck !!!

Hi Holly

You'll more than likely need a new tailshaft, you'll definitely need a clutch assembly including the flywheel(Unless you included it when you said you had the gearbox), you'll more than likely need to make a new gearbox mount as well. I recently changed my 120Y from auto to 5 speed and that was what I had to do.

As for sourcing, wreckers are your best bet.

Order of Assembly ?

Remove auto box and tailshaft, incl all wiring (make note of the cables used on the reversing switch) and the shifter console inside the car.

Fit new manual box/ clutch/ flywheel and tailshaft. then the fun begins.

Remove the brake pedal assembly (you'll prob need to undo the steering column and loosen off the brake master cylinder and replace it with the clutch/ brake pedal assembly.

Install clutch cable and reinstall brake light pin switch, etc.

That's the quick and dirty answer. I'm sure there are more posts out there that can help.

Hope this helps you !

Just so long as there won't be any mad dashes anywhere... I'll be babying this thing if I get it done !!!

Hopefully I'll have the new A14 fitted by then... It's getting fitted the day before so fingers crossed for no hiccups !

Like I said at the start, an ambiguous topic. The setting I posted earlier were shown o be the best for my engine so should provide a good starting point...

But each motor is different, even 2 stock A12's side by side so the best thing it to get a dyno test.

not sure, Force... my sizes were only the evidence of what was best on the dyno.

As for the 60km/h surging, mine went away after a fuel change and a bit of a clean out so I won't hold the jets at fault.

Ultimately the best solution is to put your car on the rollers and get it dynoe'd
