if no-one else offers, I suppose I could....
I'll go check to make sure that they are still availiable next week.

Would love to make a home for all the parts......only problem is that I'm in
Perth.
Would probably cost way too much, not counting GST..

Maybe CA18det man would love the shell for his next project????

How much should a ca18det cost...(in OZ).
Local wrecker has some complete ones for $1600, g/b for $450,
(less if together)?

I take it that the box would be fine with standard engine, but how easy would it fit in a
1200 coupe?...slight hammer job

Just noticed in the latest fast fours mag over here in OZ, that a place called star performance in NSW has fiberglass panels
for 1200 - 1600.

No further info on pages there, only in their ad in the mag, but has a
contact email addy.

To save yourself any hassles, ring the RTA in your state, and get an application to modify motor vehicle, then go down to the trusted mechanic that will do the job, they can help
fill the form out and should have a good idea of what you need to do....in re to brakes, suspension, etc. The RTA can then pre-approve it all in advance, and you won't have to waste
extra money.

As for a rotor or ca18det, in WA you can install a 12at easily, shoehorn in a 13b (or ca18det) with enginering as they are considered as 1.2 and 1.3L...(???).

Rotor motors guzzle gas like an 8, and make lots of noise. But they are light, have lots of torque, and rev so easily..

One consideration is that a high HP engine needs to be prepared properly, you can get approx 250 bhp from the ca and 12a, and I've seen up to 320-450 bhp from the 13b.

I was considering one myself, but there are only two rotor mechanics in state, and I won't have a clue on taking one apart, so I am now swaying towards the CA18det.

And after going for a spin in CA18det mans datto, wow what a rush..!!

So according to the guidelines in NSW...you can only put in a 1737cc turbo or a 2085cc natuarally aspirated??......

Based in the weight of the 1200 coupe at 695kg or 2085lbs...from the gregorys handbook, but everyone that I talk to says that they never
were that light.

I've been for a ride in Andrews 1200 missile, no need for too much more power...but could always take it
out to 2 litre.....
Less weight is cheap HP, and I would think the motor would be easer to put in.

So big man, has andrew taken you for a spin in his Datto missile yet?

So wayne......do you know webbers well....or do you have a busisness in perth that I can take my datto to....I'm out around the midland area..(the country), but
am willing to travel..
I have not found anyone yet, but I've only had 1200 for a few years??
