    I've got to do some reasearch for mitsubishi, I can't BS my way through it. I think in the 70's all of the DSM cars were Dodge or plymouth. Like the dodge colt was the mitsubishi lancer. ANY help with mitsubishi or subaru models would be appreciated. Also any one see some corrections that need to be made in the first post let me know. Thanks

    Datsun roadsters were 310s and 311s, 310s being 1500cc and smaller, IIRC.
    Not all '67s were 2000cc. The 2000cc '67s are pretty rare, first year for the 2000cc motor in the roadsters, the U20. '68-70 roadsters were "high windshields."

    SRL311= 2000 model
    SPL311= 1600 model
    SR= 2000 model, right hand drive
    SP= 1600 model, left hand drive

    in the 80's Mitsubishi also had the Galant Lambda, or the Dodge Challenger. Also, didn't they have some kind of small FWD car, similar to a mazda 323?

    Good info on the Datsun 1600/2000.

    In the Mitsu category, the 1st. generation Colt was also sold as the Plymoth Cricket. These were RWD:



    The Dodge D-50 and the Mitsubishi minitrucks were the same, other than the grilles/trim.



    And there were 2 different Honda 600's... the N's were sedans and the Z's were coupes:

    n600:


    z600



    Datsun 310's were FWD.

    Thats all I got for now.

    contact Crit from http://www.vintagerotaries.org/ for most of the information you'll need about Mazda R100, Rx-2, Rx-3, Rx-5, Rx-5, Rx-6, Rx-7, and REPU models.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
