Josh Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Its ear marked for a rotary. Got to let the son break it first and then the conversion will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAL05T Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Rotarys draw too much attention. A nice SR20DET with a black intercooler keeps unwanted attention to a minimum, though being fanta orange kind of makes that somewhat pointless.

Josh Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 You are right, the color will draw all the attention he needs. Not to mention there isnt many around and people stop and stare at any old Datto ute.I do like the idea of the SR20DET swap too. I need to get the head off and get the valve stem seals done, so I guess there mght be some other work done while its off of course the wife wont be aware of this!

swifto Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Bac in the rotarys were common.Wats wrong with people the sound of a super charged v8/blown or rotary gets me looking.People of today r wraped in cotton wool.Go with the noise.

YAL05T Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 More concerned about unwanted police attention or as a few of my mates have recently found out, thieves targeting nice rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hey Rosco. Nothing really going on. Spent a lot on the toy part of it and not much on the fish room. I am planing the construction of it and have things sorted, just need to get some materials and get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
