Well ive tossed and turned about an engine upgrade for my datto ute project. ive finally decided a 12a rotary with twin 45mm Dellortos for the strip.

i know a few people will be disappointed with the job of puttin in a mazda engine but i have it so im gonna use it!

Aren't you worried about the coupla grand you need to put into this other fellas car?

Many people have done the 12A. But in this day of $1.50/Litre petrol, maybe more in the Alice, I'd think it's not the best choice for a young fella.

In most other states any P-plater would be banned from owning such a car.

Are you are aware that engineering may get costly as the 12A is 2.4 Litres which makes it a more 'questionable transplant'. What restrictions does the NT (state) government put on these kind of conversions.

You'll have to let us all know how you get on.

yeh true, but im gonna use it for strip and weekends, use my other car which is fairly fuel efficient, it'll take me a year 2 build i'm planning on having a good job and finished yr12 by then
