Na the 12inch rims got Frisbeed when i went for disc brake conversion. The space saver is not a bad idea. How funny is that !! a 15inch space saver with datto stud pattern. (who knows of any?) Also custom making a tyre support to suit 15inch is also a nice idea. Who has done this any pic's or suggestions ??

When i got my ute the spare TRX rim was strapped in the tray, and there was no cage/suppert for the spare.

So im wondering if on the 1200 Ute, does the spare tyre support under the tray hold a rim bigger than 12inch ?? (as per standard)
Also Im currently looking for the support cage (let me know if you can help with a spare)

Im not sure on the tech name, but im after a support for the spare tyre on the 1200 ute that goes under the tray. Im in Sydney so if any one has a spare or can help / suggest anything it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey dat51k, i dont think i have ever done a 3 point turn before with a locker !! Just 1 point turns

So who knows how much $$$ are we talking about here to buy a costly LSD?.

Is it like an A series 5 speed, rare as !

In NSW i have been told the Ute is the only 1200 you can engineer a 2L turbo as it can be registered for commercial use under a buisness name. All other 1200's it would be 2L Non turbo or the famous CA18T.
I personally would much rather go the 2L over CA18 anyday L20T/FJ20T/SR20T all very nice engines and rip rip.

Thats what im talking about, nice work there with that factory lip.
Thanks heaps for the posts ive now got some work to do. And Here comes a long weekend too.

Im going for two diff centres on my ute a locker and standard to start with. As a locker or LSD is like American Express Card (dont leave home with-out it) but for sunday driving and parking the standard is ready to go.
Im going to rap this post with there is somthing for eveyone a daily driver is BEST with a std or LSD and a cruiser that comes out once a week to rip the roads and blow a few cars away the locker wont dissapoint.

O.k that does make sence, my tires at the moment are TRX rims with 195/50 tyres and it catches on the edge of the guards. so i wanted to get this sorted before i get my Baby painted

Who has adjustable castor rods?, i heard you have to modify the front guards.
Does any one have any pic's or info on what's required to do this mod.

I was reading in the 1200 tech section and could only find the below info:

Andrew machined 60mm more thread on the castor rods to get some more castor (which required some modifications to the front guards for clearance).

I agree with the racing classes the A12 is a bit more flexable. But i would say the main reason is the cost. cheap and available everywhere. I know that in my street car i would much rather have a tuff A14/15 than a baby A12. If you can get a motor for nothing and upgrade at the same time then you cant go wrong.
