hey all
any idear on wat i can do 2 get the most out of my a12 motor?
just want 2 on wat people how done and wat works the best?
thank aidan

depends what ya want to spend? you could just buy my hot a15 with a bunch of goodies on it!?

i have an a12 motor with a gx head and i goin 2 rebuild that, Dont no how much i will spend on it yet i have 2 find out

If you want to keep the A12 then here is a list:
1. Most important in my opinion.Balance everything.
2. Cam. 276??????
3. mild head work.Why I say MILD is because you are sitting with a GX head which is very difficult to source in good unmolested condition. Unless you have a stock standard spare one, go only mild.
4. extractors and exhaust.
5. Do you have the SU's?
6. lighten flywheel.
7. electronic ignition.

hey im looking at doing a similar thing with my 1200. what would be a good order to do these mods in? i am an apprentice and this work will be done bit by bit as i can afford it. also the reason i wanted to stay with the a12 is ive heard a h145 cant handle an a14 or 15 and i dont wasnt planning to upgrade as ive got a spare 145 already. will a h145 be able to handle a mild to hot a12 anyway?

That is the same reason I am going to stay A12. If you go A14/15 the gearbox and diff will need attention which drastically chase up the the price to do some mods to the car.

First things I would do is things that will not let the car stand too long.
Do the electronic ignition first. You will clearly see a difference. I did.
Started much easier when cold and idled much smoother and a liiiitle bit more power. Not much, but it was there.
You can then do the cylinder head and the flywheel. Something that won't make the car stand tooo long.
The extractors and exhaust you can also do.

If you are in Victoria, speak to boofhead on this site to go for a spin in his modded A12 sedan. Pretty cool car.

yeh thats what i thought about the drivetrain thanks for confirming.
electronic ignition is that just an electronic dizzy? where can you get one?
i've seen one on ebay and its $370 is that a reasonable price or even a good one?
thanks, tom.
