does it fit ????
 

this is like one of those pub questions will a s12 shell fit over a s13 chassis if so it will open up some possiblities of the suspension components that are playing havoc among us s12 owners just a question does anyone know the answer

aren't they all monocock , sorry can't remember how its spelt and my dictionary hasn't got it in there:)

monocoque :P

the way to tell would be to take some measurments.
the main ones obv' being from arch to arch length width and diagonals.

s12 suspension isnt a problem for me. If i wanted coilovers i would fit coilovers. i have uprated dampers and springs, im Happy

jon how would you fit rear coilovers?
also, what dampers have you got etc?
can these still be bought in the uk?

Fabricate coilover mounts.

I have Koni shocks+custom springs. You cannot get the koni's anymore but you can get KYB dampers still.Avo do springs or get custom ones from RECOIL for 90 quid to your exact spec.

Im more interested in doing a cheap Diy camber correction all round in the summer.

i'm gonna have to make some rear turrets for mine when i start on it to make the pulsar rear end fit on , its got gas dampers and koni springs all round , its really solid ,it sticks like sh*t to a blanket , you press down on the n/s/f and the o/s/r tries to lift off the ground :D

:D Expensive tyres aswell?

yep, at least a £100 a piece, i use bridgestone's pole position s03's they're dual compound , they start off really sticky and once you get to about 4mm in tread depth the stickier compound comes into play, you can go just as quick in the wet aswell , especially with 4wd which is why i want to put all the pulsar running gear into an s12:D

I will have to look them up. I am never going back to budget tyres again. Tyres make such a difference. I use Toyo proxes at mo on the front with 15x8" wheels and they havnt let go once. Im well impressed.

A 4wd s12 would be an awesome car. Please do it
