I'm still trying to work out what my next event will be. Not sure on Pittsworth. Looking at a couple of hillclimbs at Grafton and Kempsey.

MGCCQ have a Come and Try Morning & Test and Tune Afternoon at Mt Cotton on Sunday, 30th September. You can get more info from mgccq@mgccq.org.au. They're always popular, so it might pay to register interest early.

I'll be there for the test in the afternoon trying to get a handle on the car before he Australian Hillclimb Championships in Nov. [EDIT: might not be there actually. I just realised there is a hillclimb event the week before this test] The AHC is my best chance to run a really good time in this car - the 2 day events get alot of rubber down on the track

Yeah , i would love to Do a Hillclimb , or a come and try day they have ,when i 1st got into motorsport i did 6 yrs of dirt Hillclimbs and they are some much fun with out wearing out the car to much ,the Noosa Hillclimb is my dream to do actually what a top track ,Hmm Any way the next event for me is Pittsworth .

No i haven't still got my coupe, pranged it, stripped and sold a fair bit of it, have another project underway. i have another coupe fully stipped and starting from the ground up, so i don't inherit other peoples problem. Going to be fully CAMS approved and have a fire breathing 200+ rwkw CA18det, i'm hoping to have that ready well before the datsun nationals in Qld, i heard its at morgan park as oposed to QR, thats a good idea, less stressfull on the cars

I also have a 1000 now with a blow-through turbo, u probably seen the pics, i'm really pleased with that! pity i wasn't still living up there in sunny QLD, i would've brought it out to the hill climb, ah well............. you get that!

good to hear from you!

now that's interesting - I've sent you a pm mate!

Good to see you back in a dato mate!

I had the ratio changed in my steering box when I had it rebuilt, if I remember correct it went from 2.75 turns lock to lock to 1.5 turns.

I haven't driven it with the new box yet, but I look forward to it.

Hi Steve, its Andrew's (ca18det_man) old coupe. and yes, LOTS faster than my old L18 coupe!

still got yours steveo? it was for sale a while back wasn't it?

HEY!! long time no see harry!

how u been mate??? haven't been in here much latley and i didn't know u had another 1200?!

whats under the bonnet of this one? have u gone back to L-series? sounds like it does some impressive times around the 'mount" its quicker then your old one isn't it?

haven't decided if I'm going to paint the car yet, so I just left the bonnet as-is for now.

I've got a front spoiler coming for it soon. And thinking of going to 15*8's all round. Probably in the new style 15" Superlite with 8 spokes. Look much more like Wantanabes.

I'd really like to do something about the steering ratio too! Forgot how my old 1200 was after years of driving the GTR which has brilliant direct steering.

Must say the car looks a little strange with a black bonnet on it, but I do like the flares!

yep, there's a road registered class
