I was hopeing that it might be alittle easier than this, I take it that theris no upgrades which will just bolt on like after market kits or parts from another car.
Unfortunatly I do not have a welder so I would probably have to get someone else to do it for me.

Ive almost finished setting up the front end of my ute, all new bushes, tie rod ends and all that, new shorter strut inserts with coil over kit, shortened struts, adjustable strut tops, bump steer spacers, strut brace and a 23mm sway bar is on its way. Only thing to do is possibly adjustable castor rods.

Was a fair bit of #OOPS#ing around to fit the coil over kit with my choice of insert, you would need a lathe and a welder at a minimum but access to a machine shop would be the hot tip.

Havent touched the rear end yet but keen to hear what people have do to theirs, especially those who have done track work.

Ok thanks guys estyre: Thanks for the info what with me being a bit of a newb I did not get that completly but I will set up a bit of a project thread, and pull the suspention off and look at it closer.
I plan to spend a few months sorting the suspention & body work out. then drive it around for 6 months, then it will be time for the CA18DET :)

Hey welcome to the site !

Theres alot you can do to a 1200 to make it handle ,mines awesome ,sits flat as a board around corners and slides realy well
First ide start of by putting nolathane bushes through the car this will need to be done on an old car anyways

Next flip the rear leafs to lower the car ,this will stiffen it up abit too and make it sit lower . Just pull the leaf pack out and put the bottom leaf onto the tpp of the leaf pack upside down so it flattens the pack ,be careful though as the leafs are under huge pressure and shouldnt be touched if your inexperienced.

Next invest in some coilovers for the front ,cheap as if you buy a weld on kit and they dpnt need much skill to fit ,just weld them on and set the hieght

That's pretty much all mines got done to it ,and I've got 3 inch block in the rear so its super low all round :D

Good luck
