Hi John,
1200s : 3 (one was always parts only)
Type: 4 dr Sedan
Brakes: BIG (only just fit under 14 inch wheels)
Engine: CA18DET (bigger T28 turbo)
Suspension: Lowered Sports (aftermarket)
Paint: Ascot Green (pastel light green)
Wheels: Dragway Pro 14x6 (chromed)
Dash: Coupe with Tacho
Sound: Currently put in a new dash and using original AM radio, need to reinstall CD player in stealth location.
Best 1/4 mile: 15.0@93mph (Engine's been bad for a while)
Plans:
1. Have full-set of straight original 2nd hand panels awaiting painting and installing.
2. Have carpet ready for install
3. Have repro Bailey channels and door strips.
4. Engine rebuild to race spec (still budgeting)
5. Haltec ECU (still budgeting)
5. Race dampers.
6. Rebuild of seats front and back.
I might buy a car with A/C but that's the only reason I'd buy another type of car.
Only people who drive 'dattos', understand the good feeling when someone yells out 'datto...' as you drive by, or pull up to a set of lights.
I once tried to explain this to a girl I know, and she just didn't get it..she said '...and this is a good thing??'. Actually very few girls
really do understand this.
Anyway..that's my story.
