Hey Guys, thought i'd better post some pics up of my Datto that i have been building over the last few years. For those who don't know me i've been working (or attending Baz might say ) At Datsport for the past 7 Years! And it was this car to blame for it!! I purchased it off a customer (before I even knew there was Datsport) Just before my 16th birthday! It started out as a BOG stocker with an L16 big block and a 4 on the floor. It was at this stage I first learnt to drive on the road..! Anyhow while I was on my learners I decided to get it tidied up and a lick of gloss white. I then killed the L16 and went through two L20b's before I took the thing off the road for a ground up resto. Big thanks to everyone who's helped me along my travels and of course to Baz and t'Race for helping my dream turn into a reality.. oh and a job (hence why its still unfinished) its never ending

I'll be updating more and more photo's as i receive them off the friends camera's i've borrowed over the years....

Enjoy....

Back in its glory days....

Nice one Cam. Car is looking great.
Finally understand what Baz was trying to tell me over the phone about some of the structural mods!

That's a pretty big hair dryer on the side of your motor mate. What is it? 3071R?
Keep up the progress pics mate.

killer build! I like the idea of boxing the rear lower shock mounts for coilovers, might have to steal that one!

thanks for the motivation guy's been struggling as of late...Motor specs as follows Nick from what we know anyway!

S14 SR20
Apexi 260GT Cams and Cam gears
Unknown internals, Apart from obvious head gasket.
1000cc Injectors
Greddy Plenum and Sump
HKS 3037GT Pro full kit
ORC super single clutch

Makes a supposed 450ps... with a power fc on pump fuel! So im a little bit worried about the drivability might have to buy some new jocks and keep some spare stub axels..
Came out of a spastic s14 in japan that ran a 1.01 at Tsukuba raceway...

Heres some more flicks as they keep rolling in from mates

Some mock up pic's



This photo you can see the desired effect of the two-tone making it look lower and longer, Just needs the pinstripe. Oh and the blacked out frames! Bazza won this battle... we just need to take a pic further away...!
