Will a B-210 5-speed fit in a 1200?

A B210 is called a 120Y in Oz and Europe, a B210 in the US and Sunny in Japan.

Will,
Last year I drove my stock (apart from 185/60x13 whells and tires) 1200 coupe from England to Norway and back, a journey of 2700 miles. We kept a record or milages and reciepts
for gas so the result is pretty accurate. The 1200 averaged 42mpg. That's a UK gallon which is 4.54 litres as oposed to a US gallon of 3.785 litres so it's probably about 35mpg in
US gallons.
We cruised at a steady 80mph on the autobahn all the way so maybe if we went slower the economy would be greater? Pretty good for a 28 year old car though.

Linc,
You can't really connect up the Vac advance with side draughts unless the vac pics up on all four ports, otherwise it will just pulse badly and that's no good. When I ran Dellortoes on
my 710SSS I just didn't connect it and it may have caused a little drop in economy but not much else. I don't know about the emmisions 'cause cars before '74 are exempt here however
you can usually get sidedraughts to pass at idle no probs. Do they test the car only at idle or at higher RPM too?

I never knew such a model existed. Looks like the rear most side windows are panelled in like the old C110
(240K) wagons. Wierd.
Has anybody ever senn one or better still, got a photo of one?

I have thought about whether you could use a Volkswagen Polo G60 supercharger on an A series as it's pretty small and intended for use on a small engine. I don't know if
this model was available abroad though. There aren't many around here but they're not worth much so it could be a cheap source.
BTW... what's the best way to take the compresion down on an A14 for use with a turbo? Will I be able to rework the combustion chambers enough or do I need different
pistons?

Cheers,
Eddie

Andy,
It's an L16 like the 510 but with a 5 speed. It has a single carb unit rated at 100PS. Strangely the top speed is only rated at 100mph... you would think an L16 in a B210 with a 5 speed
would be much faster. I have the Japanese brochure so I'll scan a few pages out of it an upload them to my webspace and post the URLs later. The actual model in that pic is a KGB211
rather than B210. I think all the ones like this with round tail lights and pointed fronts are B211's.

I agree... The B210 is no way as good looking as the 1200. It's just wierd, however that is it's attraction. I think the Japanese spec 1400 and 1600GX coupe B210s with the
round tail lights look best. he's a pic of one... http://members.sniffout.com/ratdat/images/Excellent1600GX.jpg

I'm assuming that it's a twin engine VW judging by where that exhaust exits. I've seen a couple in this country. One here is a Mk1 Golf with two VR6 engines. Just what you need
for your 1200. Two transverse CA18s or SR20s
