They have gone to a front coilover setup, but I wonder how successful the sr16ve swap would be with the front leaf in the way? Might be a shorter engine than a ca18.

4 door sedan b10 with single roof mounted wiper!
Bert what was the running gear?

At 32yo I generally think of myself as a bit of an old fart on the internet... but holy crap you were racing two years before I was born!

OK,so heres an old one i scanned from my photo albumn.This is my second B10 in (then)Sports Sedan trim....the year? about 1977.

Im going to disagree as Neil said
Quote:
Spare tyre at the front is better in this case :)

Looking at Neils old coupe without the body Im thinking the body was
probably 150kg as it looks pretty light and efficient use of steel.

That Ebay sr16ve 1000, any info on its history or success? (if any?)

Hahaha Neil, your spare tyre is meant to be in the boot...not behind the wheel

Cause I'm a 40 odd year old man with everything bought and paid for
Remember never leave home without your spare tyre

what are you trying to say neil ???????

Eres one for ye:

On the subject, can anyone show me some detailed pics of harnesses in a 1k? in particular the attachment points...I think Bert was describing one in the blue wagon, be good to see some pics.

I never put it on the scales without the body

But it was just a guttered shell...I'd say 100kg or so difference
But thats just a guess
It did have a glass screen
Fibreglass boot,bonnet,bumpers and front end though

Weight distribution with me in the car was equal left/right due to placement of things... and actually rear heavy by 20 or so kg
We were going to move the motor forward a couple of inches but I sold the car before that happened
