Gday Folks
Been into the datto's and had mates really into the 1600's & 180b's since i was younger. Only finally just
gotten round to getting a datto of my own.
It's an ebay job, got it close by to me and drove it home, found it's got a blown headgasket though ...
was thinking thermostat while was getting home but it wasent running one at all i found out once got it
apart.
It needs some rust and panel damage repair ... planning to slowly learn how to do it all myself. the dash has
the usual cracks, need to get a tacho to replace out this vacume guage thing. Bought a set of S13 discs/calipers
from the classifieds here the other day (having trouble finding the link that has the cad drawing and/or measurements
for the mounting plates, can anyone help??) want to get the rear to discs too eventually.
Going to do some work to the engine, electronic distributer will be first. Plan to rebuild it up. Dont know much
about these engines or modding them but was thinking reground cam, competition springs, decent thin head gasket.
what else might help aid the extra fuel/air getting pumped in from webbers or ITB's ?? from what ive been told this is what is overlooked when doing these up .... neighbour used to race A10's in mini sprint cars many years ago.
Will post some more pics of progress soon. Thanks for this awsome site, heaps of information on here.
