I get 30 miles per gallon out of My CA18det on a trip when giving it heaps it uses heaps for instance I drove to eastern creek from mudgee (230km) and used 20ltrs of fuel :0 I
did a supersprint 16 laps at around 2km a lap say 50km's max and used 30 lts :) It was lots of fun as you can imagine.

Ill give you $150 if its in good nick

My datto was the manual version so if you have teh auto tunnel you shouldnt have to do anything just make new
gearbox mounts ect

I had a 3T celica box behind my old race A14 from memory it cost around $800 (3-4 years ago) including the box & kit ect had to get a few things machined great box nice and
strong just had to enlarge the tunnel a little to make it fit.

Hey chris I had the FWD exa pulley on mine only has two pulley's to start with :)the diameter is a little smaller so the waterpump and alternator dont spin as fast.(good for high
reving) I have since built a solid bilet steel one as the old one came adrift when the engine failed at queensland with flywheel ect coming adrift must have put some vibrations through
it as it snaped the key and cracked the keyway pretty bad.
Cheers Andrew
BTW: good pics look forward to seing it finished

so chris ya rebuilding the engine anything specail going in??
My engine needs some head rebuilding as it has been leaking oil into the exhuast port smokey on startup ect ect still goes like a cut snake with 20psi up
its guts
cheers Andrew

The reason your having problems is because the A14 block is quite a bit taller than the A12 block therefore the extractors will sit to high on the a14 engine I had the other
problem when I went from the A14 to the A12 it sat to low hitting on the drag link ect.

Hey James bring it to the cruise Ill be there in the datto ill bring some pics of how to make turbo manifold if ya want. Wasnt that hard to do looking at the pics I feel you

Cheers Andrew

Ps: will be good to put some faces to all the people i have met here on the net supposed to be quite a few dattos going :)

Thanks Dave Bloxham for your comments on my car :) I saw a pretty awsome 1200 two years ago at summernats canberra it had the roof cut off very smooth purple metalic paint with
a blow big block hemi in it!! also had a full tube chasis with 4 link rear end tubbed ect !! was not registerable.
I dont see the sense in building a car like that unless its going to be used. As I say they should be driven daily like its stolen :) or even better like a hire car LOL.
