Hey everyone Im new here i just picked up a 71 1200 coupe with a 3tc which i hope to change for a ca18det soon ...but anyway im in las vegas so if there is any others here in town i would like to meet up thanks....tj

TJ,
welcome to the site. I think there are at least 2 other members on this site in vegas.
You may be able to do a members search and find them that way.
Go the Coupe.

OH CHEET BATMAN.............2 in one month.

There are now 3 of us; a 1200 coupe powered by a Toyota 3tc and myself. We've had the Coupe since 1985, and been Autocrossing and Club Racing it since 1989. I run the car at SCCA / Porsche Club track days when I instruct and also try to squeeze in what ever race group runs locally. Most of the time I run at Spring Mtn Motorsports Ranch.

So the question is if you got the car locally did you end up with the green 1200 sedan from the postal carrier , the white sedan from the West end of town, the white coupe from a young gal, white sedan with A15 from John's wrecking yard after he passed, and there was a orange coupe that some made into a wagon of sorts............not that I keep track of them.

Send me a PM if you like, I'm doing a track day on November the 15th in Pahrump. I also be at an Autocross one the 23rd of Nov but I'm crew dad for my son's Jr Kart.

3tc is much cooler than CA18det, the 3t just needs a bit of a turbo hanging off it and then bang, heaps cooler engine. even if it is toyota

mmmmmmm Ok now that I've read the post more carefully.

We have one member in Vegas with a 3tc 1200 come on board, then a couple weeks later another member with a 3tc 1200....being a regular Sherlock Holmes and all I'm thinking the car changed hands.

Tom

YES you are correct the car did change hands and i wouldnt trade it for the world i have also found a un-molested 1200 here in town that i will be picking up this week

you can get some really serious stuff in the US for 3T motors think hard before you decide to change it

Good deal, I originally offer some bits for the 3TC to the first poster......offer stands. I'll never use them on the race car.
