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.

awesome

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. :)

you have no idea. i picked the whole back end up chest level by myself like nothing. the fuckin motor was heavier than the car:uhh:

So just how heavy are they? Is your junk RX-3 for sale now?

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 !

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!!!

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.

looks nice...

hopefully this train of thought will spill over into your love life ;) :rlaugh:

damn you !!! now i want to break down my beater seven to build something like this!

This will motivate me to get my 1200 running again. Nice find. They are fun to drive!

I told you it would look better primered black

Looking good! Now Lil Hemi has 2 cars to be envious of.:D

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.

at least i HAVE a car, ass :fawk: ;)

Nice buy, post more pics.......

OUCH!! Where is the love John??? :confused:

Besides, all you've got is a shitsubishi paper weight unless you put the torque converter in.

oh you mean this thing?

hell its been in the car for almost a month now. :wave:

What the hell is that thing??? Looks like the base to a bench grinder. Real men have more than 3 gears and a clutch petal!!!!:bj:

How is it my threads always turn into these shit fests? hahahahhahaha

Like my dad use to tell me, "you got to shit on your friends because your enemys never come around".

REAL men dont drive rotarys :rlaugh: :shocking: your all a gaggle of pantywaists :lol:

I can't argue with that logic. Real men don't drive rotarys, they only throw insane amounts of time and money into them and post pictures of them on internet forums.:wallbash:

:lol2: i think its the same for me :uhh:

I've got a buddy that's been working on a street ported 13B-REW single turbo 1200 for a few years now. Narrowed, mini-tubbed, caged, and "it will never see a drag strip." He built to take all the Honda kid's money. Haha.

I'd love to get a 1200/RX-3, but I can't afford my project FB. Haha.

You dont need all that to smoke a Honda. All you need is a stock 1G Eclipse and a can of race gas.

He started it!

As for the torque converter being in already... Josh, you should go to lil Hemi's house in the middle of the night and drip some ATF under the torque converter just to drive him crazy!!:naughty:

:fawk:

Got me a 9 inch. Bitches.

WTF do you guys grow those things out there or what??

dude dont play coy. you knew i had 9" :uhh: :rlaugh:

This is where i say "spit it out, it's not yours.:uhh:"

well you would be half right. if i did have 9" i would never leave the house :uhh: :uhh:

:rlaugh::rlaugh::rlaugh:

It's not as fun as you think it would be.

Shit, you know us hillbillies got this crap lying around everywhere. Just gotta know the right folks, thats all.

BTW, this is funny CUZ, after last weekend, it does it by itself! Bring on the fuel filter jokes!

I love it!!!:lol: What happened LilHemi? I don't remeber hearing about this... oh thats right, you kept it a secret. Now you're back to a Shitsubishi, driveway sized, tweed interior having, paper weight.

At least you still got the matching tweed thong... or is that leaking too?:lol2:

LilHemi, all jokes aside I'm sorry to hear, was it the torque converter again??? That really sucks... what now?

everything points to a tranny pump seal. no big deal but a pain in the ass considering how many times ive R&Red the tranny the last year. :wallbash:

who did you buy it from

The car? Some redneck hillbilly gave it to me. I said "I'm interested in buying that car."
He said "If you tow that peice of shit out of here today, you can have it for free."

So, technically, it was a GIFT.
