hi all

new coupe owner from Gold Coast picked this one up last week from Matt. Sweet little car road regoed but set up for track. Few features are:

- worked A12 with big cam and single weber
- disc front
- dog leg 5 speed
- lots of suspension work

Immediate plans involve fixing a small fuel leak from the fuel tank. Future plans include a worked A15

My friend has "Datsun Envy", He loves your car.
 
Also if you do an A15 down the line, I could be keen on your A12 if you were selling.
(So long as "worked A12 with big cam" does not mean worked to the point of becoming undrivable around town)

got some new rims going on, have had some JDM Super Stars stashed that were on my 120y, 14x6 and 14x6.5. currently tyres are 175s and 185s which on the rear at least are too big. going to drop to 165s all round tomorrow.

Beautiful coupe you got there!
 
i personally think that 14 inch rims are the perfect size for a thou. Pity my sharks are 13s haha
 
flares look great too especially on that last piccy.
 
I'm up on the sunshine coast so hope to meet you sometime and Ash aswell.
 
Actually next time we come down to go to wet n wild or something we should do a small meet is there anyone else on here from the Goldy?
