Hi there, I have just been given a 1200 wagon from my grandad and i am wanting to get a little bit more power out of the motor. can you buy extractors, bigger cams off the shelf? or if anyone has any they would like to sell and maybe a nice caby? Also do trx rims fit a 1200? I don't really want to spend much more than $1500 anyone have any ideas what would be best?
Thanks Ed

I would say work the motor you have if its not to tired. A worked head with a webber and extractors will keep you happy. Fun to drive then you will have enough $$$ for the rims too.
A good idea i recommend is to get a set of disc brakes with any worked motor.
Maybee off a 120Y or stanza can be easily fitted.
