Okay, you cannot top this combo: Flying Feather & CIMA V8 (rear engined). Would be legal on a cycling circuit but ...

Vintage association might protest the powerplant.

i know it's not a 1200 but a 120y with a twin turbo 20B tripple rotor with NOS lots of it running through a six speed box big diff and slicks on the rear cos it would need them. and possibly a wheelie bar


hey you said dream

lets dream more V12.....

the VW W8 would fit alot better
supercharge that whamo!

dream car ehhh.......
1000 coupe with full bugatti EB110GT running gear. mmmmm quad turbo V12

Hi Aaron,

I actually sell the VW's and unfortunately the boys from germany said that as a product knowledge excersise we all must drive the W8 Passat for a week .

Not as fast as the dato, but for a road car, around the Yarra Blvd held on well. (for melbourne drivers)

bring on the W12 in the VW Phaeton and the W16 Quad turbo in the Bugatti

cheers

Stevo

kegs has a cool idea: a rear-engined ute. Instant wheelies!
And the tray is big enough (?) to fit a V8. Imagine the 406
HP GM Gen-III 5.7 liter V8 with a Porsche 928 transaxle and
shortened halfshafts. Better yet, the Corvette rear
suspension narrowed down. This could be street-legal in the US.

Same here Chris i would also like to get my coupe finished and with unlimited funds would not change that much except make the paint and panel spot on. & a set of 15x7 and 15x8 superlights would look nice with big brakes trick susspension and maybe a nice smick interior racing seats and harness 500 odd Horsepower wouldnt go astray eithere LOL.
I look forward to seeing your car on the road let us know if you plan to take it to the creek Ill come down for a drive and inspect. Do you know if it will be ready for that nationals?? I was going to head down south but misses is due that week so I dont think ill push teh friendship. LOL
Andrew

I'm not sure if it will. I'll have to sell some shares to get it done. I really want it finished for the nationals.

I don't know what state the car is in. I was going to call up this afternoon, but I got called for work, and was busy almost all weekend with work...The weekend of work will pay for some of the interior retrim. So I guess that's good.

I might have a day off this week, so I can go have a look.

Chris.

Sounds like when I was getting my coupe painted Chris. Mind you I got a shmiko 2-pak paint job at mates rates so I could let it go on for a little while but then I had to start calling and dropping in cause I was getting inpatient.

My dream Datto driveline?? Well...like some of you guys have said already, its what I am building at the moment. I just want my rally motor built and running hard.

But for a circuit or street Datto I would love either of the following: An SR20DE with the quad throttle bodies like the photo of that black coupe, an SR20DET equipped coupe that could break traction when ever you wanted but also had such good suspension that it could also stick to the road like #### to a blanket, even off the line. Thats a hard one to understand isnt it, but if money was really no object I still love the idea of shoe horning an RB26DETT and Hollinger 6 speed sequential gearbox into a 1200 Coupe. This thing should also have the suspension mentioned above. Imagine it, whooping Skylines, Porches, M3's, you name it it could spank it, oohhh baby! It would have to have flares and some wicked new school alloys. Coated in my old coupes colour...GT-R Skyline Charcoal Metallic Grey. What a horn bag!
