Big brakes might come standard but they're NOT 30+ years
old and some of them aren't even Dattos - and what fun can it be to get
the big brakes standard anyway??
Most of the guys on this list are into the challenge of
making a perfect car even better!! I don't know about you
but I really enjoy the challenge, and the satisfaction of knowing I did it
myself. Anyone can spend the dollars and buy the performance you speak of but
very few can DIY.
Well done Richard (I never received your original
post)!!!
For those who haven't experienced it - there is NOTHING
quite like the sweet sound of a Weber powered L series on full noise!!
They're not exactly fuel misers though!
HaHa
Cheers
Mick
PS On 'my' favourite road I have never had
anything (including "WRX, Silvia, EVO,
GTiR") keep up with, or outbrake my Datto. I eagerly await
challenges

Finally completed the transition of my
daughter-in-law's "Granny" 1600 auto into a "real" Datto
yesterday.
Got the L18 installed with the bigger
breathing head, the five speed box, improved rubber. Luke
(son) and I drove soberly around the Macedon area tuning
the carbs, got them on song almost imediately
- then spent an hour (and a tank
of fuel) howling through the nearby forest using 7 grand in every
indirect gear.
Luke had to admit nothing built these days
with less than 3.5 litres goes like a good old school Datto - he's
impressed! (bigger brakes are a definite next
item)
