  • The Rotary powered Datsun B210 named Todd Grass.

    Welp, I finally bought a RWD car, I've only owned VW's in the past so I am stoked to have something new! I named it Todd Grass because of an inside joke between from friends based on a dude with a mullet we saw at a party one time... it's a long story, but I think the name is quite suiting. Anyways he is a 1977 Datsun B210 also known as the Nissan Sunny, picked it up for 450 bucks in K Falls over the weekend! I'd like to make it into a drifer/daily. It has a 12a swap from a 1st gen Mazda RX7 with a said to be 52K on both of them, based on the cleanliness I almost believe it. My plans for the exterior are to keep the paint as is, fix the rust, lower it, wheels, lose the rear bumper, and possibly bolt on fender flares? As for the interior I kind of dig the current seats, although I have no clue what in the hell they came out of. I'd like to put some sort of metal dash with a custom gauge and switch set up in there, and get some harness seat belts as well. As of right now I'm just trying to get it to run and drive good enough to take on the streets. Here's a video of the beast! Love how loud it is with the open headers, unfortunately I think my dad may kill me if I do not get exhaust on it soon due to excessive noise My Holley 1850 was having some problems starting so we swapped my buddies Holley 1848 off his rotary powered e21 on there to get it running, our linkages were not the same, so he controlled the throttle while I drove it up and down the street. It was too awesome.

            Hey thanks man, I love that sound too! So mean!


            I didn't even know they made such a thing until a quick google search. That would look rad, the bumpers off the sunny's are rad as well.

                              That's so cheap for all of that win. Lovin' the car and the 12A ignorance. If this car sounds similar with some nice fitment I may be in love.
                              The only thing lower than my standards is my truck.
