Default Hi everyone

I'm from Hammond Indiana just next door to Chicago and finally gave into the Rotary world by purchasing a 12a powered Datsun 1200. After being a huge turbo & supercharged v8 mustang owner for over 12 years,I've now seen what I've been missing out on with the power to weight ratio of these fine powerplanted cars!!

Hope what I'm feeling isn't the ole "ADDICTION" cause then I'm gonna have to make room for a 13b/turbo setup in maybe a Mazda or Corolla body for back up......hmmmmm?


Sorry for delay guyz.....I finally made it home from work early enuff to take a few pics.The rear wheels are looking a little thin but I plan on mini-tubbing it to fit a wider rim & tire combo.

Welcome! If you feel up to driving a couple of hours, you should bring her up to one of our autocross events.

Sounds like a good ole time....I'll definately get ahold of you if & when we might be around your area. It'd be a nice change to try some twisties & turns instead of the usual straight line runs!
