nerfbat Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 thanks DougE and Trev..! it was too hot to do a thing so i watched the cricket today... /sad... anyone have a 1275 engine laying around? wink wink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towe001 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Don't quote me on it being fwd with the gearbox in the sump. But maybe datsun 12a ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 anyone have a 1275 engine laying around? I'm not sure what its like up north, but my next door neighbor had to import a metro 1275 to get something half reasonable. I've seen a fair few 4e turbo GT Starlet powered minis in Melbourne. Would be a serious rocket in something this light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerfbat Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 ah cool mate.. yeah starting see how expensive the 1275's are... may be chasing my uncle's motor, if i can beg it out of him.. on the up side, i had Dave Hanson around for a RWC on the skyline to sell, and while he was here, he suggested a new set of points would fix the car running rough. so i did, and it did..! thing runs like a dream! going for RWC on friday, hope to have her regoed on monday..! TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towe001 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Do you still have that german helmet from when you had the scooter ? You wear the avaitor helmet and the passenger wears the german helmet. Bane mask ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
