One of the minor things that amazed me on my trip to Puerto Rico was the
number of Datsun 210s still on the road. I saw probably about a dozen or
so, in various states of repair. I don't know how many have 5 speeds,
but it was intresting, as one never sees any up here in the northeast
rust-belt. There were also quite a few RWD Corollas around too.

I can't speak to the value of a supercharger, but I can add my voice to
the
chorus of support for the 5-speed conversion kit that Paul Asgeirsson
sells
for the Datsun 210/spridget conversion.
Well made, fits great, works great.
I was just at the Pick-and-Pull two days ago and there were three 210's
sitting there. All trannies stripped. It seems that someone is picking
them off very quickly and passing them on to MiniMania to include with
their
conversion kits. (I think theirs is the Rivergate kit).
