looks awesome! Its not just a 1200 issue, every solid axle Mazda I have owned has always had the same problem.

Thats odd your wheels don't fit the adjustable set up, heaps more clearance than factory spring cups of hugeness.

Trim spring and wind up so its not so close to wheel. Not the best option but works. 1200 coupe on trademe looks to have the same prob.

some pics of the custom oil cooler set up,

with the oil cooler set up i have done away with the standard oil pick up in the block and now it picks oil up from the side of the sump and then goes through the cooler then returns into the pump through the fitting welded to the side of the pump that is drilled into the main feed to the oil pump. the only thing is that toy have to boost your oil pressure
