even better with a stroked A12 screaming out 143HP @ 8,500rpm!!!

looking around for some specs but suspect it has the Reg Cook treetment, A12 crank and A14 pistons as not sure if A15 likes to rev that much ?

These pic's give me goose bumps

Probably should calm down a bit and aim for this first before going all crazy with Orange

Im pretty sure this was the gear patern our A15's 5 speeds were (Out of A14 310 cars)

there are some nice pics floating around of a beautiful GX on Hayashi Streets - to me it is the nic est cleanest roadgoing 1200 coupe on the planet.

I thought about taking the GX replica route with my coupe - but the drug money costs of the GX emblems, dash, steering wheel, mirrors, grill & bonnet turned me off! you could spend around 5-6K on these GX spec add ons alone (if you can find them!)

The thing about dreams is that they are free, at least until you take your wallet out, also I'm working on a 20 year project so reckon I could achieve most anything in that time


otherwise I know some people who are good cooks (just kidding of course )

PS, The GX Mirrors should be easy

Stage 3, get this sucker started so its easier to move around

New battery required for lots of juice

Plus jumper leads and other car running

To be continued

Ok, so she spun over like crazy with barely a fire, drats, pulled a plug, wet as the ocean, cleaned it with a rag and stuck it on the manifold, big spark, hmm, tried again, spark jumping to the porcelain, ok a good old fashion wirer brushing and cleaning of all the plugs, haven't done that for years, try her again, an almighty bang and then a strange vibration in the cabin, my bro informs, she is running, cause I didn't see the tacho move presume it was something else (obviously not connected)

We smoked the Garage out something bad but she was running as sweet as a button, not sure what that was all about but lesson learned clean those plugs properly or put new ones in.

Starts every time so we can move it about now

Sweeet!
