 Re: my first datto
Nah i just got the stocko speed holes.

I'm waiting for the day when my bonnet fly's up and makes a mess of my roof etc. It looks like it want to come up when i'm just crusing at 100km/h. But when your doing close to 200km/h by the end of the 1/4 its gonna make a mess.

I might make a little device like 2 door tim's 1600. Saves getting pins etc.

 Re: my first datto
if your referring to the black thingos that look like vents on the b-pillar i think then yes, lol i knew my car was lacking that extra oomph due to the lack of speed holes

 Re: my first datto
plans atm are just minor things such as repainting and polishing/sanding, currently waiting on my fibreglass doortrims so i can get my interior looking alrite, repainting instrument cluster as we speak (seats and intrument clusters were PURPLE!) lol umm in about a month or two ill be getting my leaf springs reset, while working my arse of to save for a stereo system (still undecided as not having power steering and the sound of my exhaust is fun enough atm lol

 Re: my first datto
ok here we go. measure the strut tube, if its 45mm in diameter its a 120Y model strut - if its has PBR caliper on it then its a late model 120Y strut and far better than the early model brakes. if it measures 50mm its a stanza strut. the 1200 disks struts i cant remember are either 45mm or 50mm but im thinking therye 45mm.

This kid knows what he's talking about!!

Top looking ute mate. Looks just like Rainer's.
Red/maroon 1200's are the best you can get
