Forget RX3's, how about a Datsun 1200
 
I know, I know, its about the sexiest thing youve ever seen. The paint is flawless, and the wheels are totally badass. I'm not trying to make anyone jealous, but I wanted to post pics of her. I put the 13b in her this weekend. This is just the begining. My old nitrous setup will LIVE AGAIN, in this poor pile of crap.

I can't believe that i waited 15 minutes for the forum to shit out this thread. Title should have read "I had some film i needed to burn so i took some pics of my field car" Stick to the Mazda.

I knew you would love it Allen.

Hooray for Datsun 1200s! I love how much weight they DON'T have.

RX-3s are still sexier, though. :)

http://datsun1200.com/modules/nsecti...ticle&artid=56 Curb Weight: 1,609 lbs. I've had 2 clean ass RX3's in my possesion and the only car I've got left is a Datsun 1200. Even stock they are fun as hell to drive around I use to always catch myself laughing to myself driving my stocker around. I have to agree that a RX3 is a better looking car but I just can't stay away from these Datsun 1200's.

I love the 1200's. That's on my list of dream cars. Looks good lowered with 13" stretchies.

Awesome !

RotorRican 05-08-07 07:00 AM

Good Find!
Looks pretty straight too!
Something about those old school cars, now that i could afford a 90's or newer car I can't wait to have mine running to drive it daily! they so much fun to drive, simple to work and different, no the same crap like everybody else has.
I found 1970 Toyota Corolla 2 doors station wagon super straight! am thinking to get but the city am in will ticket me for having an inoperable car in my yard. I dont think they like me.
But first i need to get my Rx-808 on the road.

show more pict! please!

Nah, I still have the RX3, and I'm keeping it. I got bored and decided to do this, thats all.

Thats my favorite color!!!

Doc Holiday 05-09-07 08:38 PM

Well, after sanding and grey primering parts of the car today, I realized why I always primer things BLACK. Because as soon as one greasy finger touches that grey primer.......RUINED! All that hard work turns to instant trailer park trash with the mere touch of a finger. Screw this crap, she's going black.

RXnos1200 05-10-07 02:27 PM

Doc Holiday 05-13-07 04:22 PM

Just make sure the filters are clean this time before you hit the NOS. LOL

Yeah no shit huh! I'll be simplifying the fuel system, and using a much larger prefilter this time. Last time I used a Earls filter that they label as a "pre filter". After doing more homework, it appears that the filter element itself is far too small on the Earls, leading me to believe that it is more for stock applications that want some BLING factor to it. Too bad I was unedjucated, and the dipshits at summit racing are just as dumb. I'll be using the large Aeromotive filters with the super large filtering elements this time. The amount of trash that I had still wouldnt clog an Aeromotive filter, though it was more than enough to completely clog the Earls I was running.
