Anyone got the dimensions & weight of a 12a??
Nope, im sure someone will have though! i more curious as to what you want to put it into?? :D :3gears-lh
Well Rx7\'s arent the only cars on my drive, think small, rear engined & scottish
A tartan kart? ;)
not a Grinnall Scorpion by any chance?
Its only an idea at the minute, need to see how much work i have to put back into the shell before I decide wether to go rotary or back to coventy climax.

Na its got 4 wheels
It was done in aust or nz for a hillclimb car but i cant find any info on it anymore
I know what u up to,
best way to go is mod and fitting motorbike engine like.... 1300cc suki haybusa engine.
What to know more infor, go to Goslpie sprint in Sept( 2 days event at kart race track)
Regards
Ian.
P.S Do you buy that car from Elgin and colour is red?
that\'ll be a hillman imp at a guess then.
Theres shedloads of room in an imp for a 12a ... my mate has one with an 8v K series in it !
I;m guessing you have a jedi Ian, ex checkpoint maybe??. Nope didnt even know there was one for sale in elgin. I\'ve got one in the garage & another in the drive. Any idea what dates Ian??
got it in one mike, there\'s a few K series engined now & a rotary that I;ve heard of for sale in oxford but its a trails car. K series takes up quite a bit of room thou.
yes its a bit big ... would imagine a 12a would fit nicely.
I would measure mine for you but its at Carls :)
I\'ve got an engineless shell here needing some body work after a slight mishap, got 2 998\'s that I could put in it, but fancy a challenge, alfa boxer fits not bad, subaru prob would too. Its my project for next years imp national, only thing is a 998 on cam is fun!
Ian I\'m in aberdeen often & wouldnt mind a lookie at what i think you have, my email addy is impressed_8@hotmail.com
Cheers
the imp engines are nice and light too, they used to be used as water pump drives for fire engines. Only trouble is they are partial to head gaskets as standard.
never been unlucky with that so far on a standard engine, both my 998\'s are wills ringed thou
I did see one in oz that had a 13b peripheral port in the back of it. it was attatched to a vw transaxle also. (speaking about an imp of course.) The is a local guy here on Mull who I was speaking to about help with my car and he has 2 clan crusaders. ( I think that s what thye are called.) Once I found out that they took imp mechanicals i was all the more interested.
tell us more, it sounds like fun!
There is a imp trials car in the UK running a rotary thru a transporter box with modded datsun driveshafts & its for sale.
Clan was an imp based kit, althou you could by them complete, lightweight & fun to drive. I know a guy whos currently rebuilding the one of the clan press cars & there\'s a rally one being rebuild in inverness. Theres one up here langishing in a barn along with a few other classics but owner wont part with it. Also as a guy with 3 gen 1 RX7\'s that will go back on the road one day or so I\'m told so wont part with an engine either or let you see what he\'s got hidden away!. There was a nissan A12 powered imp in NZ but was more like a half spaceframe.
