i have a 1200 ute and replaced the front springs with bluebird rear coilover springs. i had to cut 2 coils off. this sat level and solid as a rock. with about 2 inches gap between the wheel and the arch with 185/65/13s and the springs rattle if you lift the front end off the ground. as well the sway bar off a 120y bolts straight up with no effort. the 16mm std is then replaced with a 20mm one. no body role at all, and mine carries extra weight with gas fitted so yours might sit higher, hope this helps, bye buzzard

over 18 months ive had 2 x 1200s 1x1400 3 radiators, all had tanks removed and cleaned, new thermostats, cap, all different distributor settings, my 1200 ute is on gas and has an acumiltive heat problem from 110kmh onwards, slowly gets hotter untill it overheats, slow down a little and the temp comes down. with large jetting on petrol it still over heats, any suggestions on a cheap alternative radiator avail from a wrecker??? $300 quoted for a 3 core h/d one tooo dear, no budget, just need to get to work and back, even on a hot day 80kmh is out of the question??? thanks buzzard, the blown 1530cc sounds interesting??
