or
just use the rolla as the khanacross car, and the dat for motorkhanas

Tom it took me a minute , Khanacross is what we call Rally cross and Motor Khana I think is what we call Autocross i.e. big parking lot with coned course.
First congrates on the result and congrates on getting out there and doing it. As a Rally and Rally cross organizer I meet guys your age who want to do this kind of thing but feel they must at least have a WRX , can't be racing an old Datsun or Corolla....good for you.
Next take your Datto out whether it is competitive or not it will be fun even if your just racing around a big parking lot. (my 11 yr old son runs a Yamaha KT100 powered Kart at local Autocross.)
Do you guys in Tas have track days. In the USA we have performance driving days where you can bring a street car and run round the track (I instruct with two groups) At a Porsche Club day we had a student in a bone stock beetle.
Racing can be done cheap if all you care about is having fun. When I ditched my road race motorcycle and got the 1200 I had $1800 US in the car including the price of the car and it was still street legal. Many folks asked why I would run something that slow to which I replied "it's faster than a set of bleachers" The car had a bone stock engine at that point.
Anyway congrats again and keep doing this in about 5-10 years , like most of us you will find you have the income to do more.

Your right, but in my case its all off road, ie. the "big parking lot with coned course" is a "paddock with sticks"..

Yeah we do have track days, my club doesn't run them unfortuantly but yeah i'll keep at it..
