I know LED's are supposed to last an age...... but won't they burn out before your MX5 gets near redline?

Seriously though, pretty cool, and did you see the factory turbo MX5 added to MY105 today?

[evil_weevil]

[Marlin]

Some nice track cars on here so i thought i'd post up my Rally car for anyone interested.

Built it up myself with my Dad and i run it in the Amsag rally series and Cams events. It is time for something new though so S13 Silvia is in production at the moment and hoping to have that up and running by mid next year. Looking to be able to do some track days in it as well although it wont be that well set up for tar.

good one Jason. What's in it?

I have a soft spot for the old Dattos. Had my share of 1200 coupes, sedans and a ute, 120Y coupes and a wagon with everything from A12 on twin SUs, A12 turbo, L16-18-20 and CA18DET engines. And a 4.4l V8 240K coupe.

Yeh gotta love them simple to work on and take a beating day in day out with not much complaint haha.

It has the A15 with plenty of head work big cam, bored out and running twin Dhelorto's. The rest of the work is in the suspension disc brakes all round with vented rotars etc etc its prolly taken about 3-4 years of playing around to get it up to a decent car that is supprisingly quick against all the 1600's and even some of the 4wd guys. It just lacks any straight line speed so ive decided to retire her and go with the Silvia which is going to be a whole different story but im looking forward to it.

If I were getting into a car club that focused on rallies like that, Id go a datto for sure!!!

looks like its a fun car Jason!

oooh any pics or more info on the 240K?

it was a project car several years ago now, but I sold it on. Shouldn't have, it was a really clean rust free shell. Had flares, not the GTR style ones but would have been easy to change them over. It was a Leyland P76 4.4l Alloy V8, basically a bigger version of the old Rover V8. Supra 5spd. Should have kept it... I have some pics somewhere on the hard drive at home, but it wasn't much to look at really. I bought it at a time when I had about 3 projects on the go and never did anything with the car. Always regretted selling it though, and even tried to track it down to buy it back a couple of years ago...

[NickR33]

mates parents gave him a 240K as a first car... was absolutely mint, old lady owner had done about 60,000km... he whinged about it and we used to make fun of it, sold it really cheap in the end... now they are popular again and worth a bit he is spewing he got rid of it... some flares, chin spoiler, a V8 and some old school 0 offset rims... would have been perfect!

hindsight is always 20/20

[Marlin]

Awww Harry, that would abeen cool! My buddy Johhno has something similar years back, except it had an L28 with a blow through carb turbo setup. It was actually really quick! Rusty as hell, but quick!

[R32gts-t]

this would be fun

[Snowman]

Haha - just wait til Brisby sees it

[evil_weevil]

gees thats cheap for what it is - do want!

[hrd-hr30]

that is a good price! turbo clubman ftw!

look what Santa's bringing me. It may be a slightly late delivery, but I'll let him slide just this once:

these are unbelievably good value from the states at the moment. Will wait till I see how long they take to get here and what the service is like after handing over the money before I recommend this guy to anyone though.

Yeah they're awesome value, I was thinking of getting some of those or the NT03's for the Rex. They really are a steal at the moment.

Greg: That is awesome mate!

I am loving the idea of a Clubman, but reading up on the whole Lotus 7 Replica cars there are a few good ones around and soooo many dodgy ones. How do you tell the difference

I want a R300 Caterham without an engine then throw in some sweet 9,000rpm NA goodness But then i live in an apartment that already has a living room full of parts so think i need a house before something like that

Defiantly not doable in an apartment, nor is a datto
