Please tell me your garage is in Melbourne. I'm meant to race my 1200 Coupe next weekend...but as I blew the head gasket at Sandown a week ago I'm a bit put out for an engine.

I can see you live in Sydney, was just dreaming there for a second.

Pity, but thanks to the Melbourne cup I have Monday, Tuesday off work - so hopefullly I can source a cheap engine, to last one race, then stuff under another 1200 for road car duties.

hey mildman i heard stories bout a bloke with a 1200 at sandown, at "japaneese auto importers" in seaford, was he telling me bout you? seems like it, heard you made some good laptimes for a stocka 1200

Has it got a gearbox?? I would love to get it but if your in Sydney...........nah I should end up finding one in Tas......hopefully

I guess that would be me!

And the lap times were very suprising indeed. Running stiffer springs and lowering blocks on a stocker 120Y 1.2L motor I was running times in the 1:40's - the lowest I was clocked at was 1:42...but not sure on the accuracy. (all the times were done by mates in the pits).

Even so it meant the little 1200 was running a lot quicker than some of the 2L turbo rice out there.

It was all in the cornering speed, I could hold it flat off the back straight and just hang on, where most other cars had to brake at the 150m mark.

I could carry 140-150 through there, many other cars were pulling up to about 100 - 130.

Small world hey?

I know of a disabled girl who needs a well running A12, we were looking for an A14, but we can't afford to be too choosy. It's for her 120Y. My old man does a lot of work with charity groups etc.

My old man could probably pick it up sometime this week, or next weekend, if you know it's not a bad engine. It'd be going to a good cause. My old man would be putting it in this girls car for nothing.

Anyway please PM me, and I'll get my old man to give you a call.

This girl is forced to drive a '73 Celica while her Datto is out of order. So that's a good reason to help out.

Cheers,
Chris.

Just for reference Lads.....

Dattodude, the good samaritan that he is has claimed the 1200 for a worthy cause.....

I will have some other 1200 bits and pieces in the next weeks so i shall let you all know
