  1. You naturally get negative camber when you lower the 510. If at first you only want to lower it a little, then yes lowering springs are what you can do. You can also cut stock springs, or my Dodge D-50 springs and cut those. That should close up some of the wheel gap.
  2. So two mechanics came to look at the car and they couldnt figure out a car made in the 60s? Theres like 5 parts to the engine. A lot of people here have been giving you the benefit of the doubt thread after thread and its getting tiring. A lot of us arent going to help out anymore when you keep doing this. I for one am out. Hopefully you get wise and get your shit straight.
  3. Haha I never thought about that, but now that you mention it :sneaky:
  4. Oh ok. I was going to say you work fast haha I can't wait to see these installed.
  5. I wonder if those camber plates are available separately yet. Those are better than his current plates... I really need a set.
  6. That's understandable. These look great so I'm sure they will do everything you need. What's interesting is it looks like the center pieces are the same between the units. Are those you pictures or Troys?
  7. Those look nice. I missed it somehow, but what about that set you helped design?
  8. The wagon is super clean, but after all the time and effort that's been put not this truck I wouldn't do anything short of dailying it.
  9. *cough* http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/3234157413.html *cough*
  10. If I remember correctly I believe these actually do fit the 510. Here in the States, 68/69 had arrow markers that had one flat edge, but overseas the arrow markers did not have the flat edge.
  11. Haha yeah my calendar is all fucked up lately. This better be a good show for all the effort I'm putting into it.
  12. Yeah Futo Fab only has the one style of lip and prices are competitor to anywhere else that may sell it. Customer service is beyond great and he's a member here so I like to support him. The MKI lip is about $60 or so and you'd have to get it through a place that sells VW accessories.
  13. There are two main lips that look like "ramps." Search the Internet for either a MKI VW Rabbit lip or the BRE lip through Futo Fab. One I those is probably what you're thinking of. And as requested earlier, please post better pictures. Everyone can get a better idea on the condition of the car if we could see better photos. I'd rather not just see 15 close up shots of unimportant things in the car.
  14. Lol I wasnt standing aroung watching you work on my car Jon. You forgot to tell them the part where I walked outside and you helped yourself to popping my hood, and removing all the items yourself without me even knowing you were there. I just walked outside and I thought some local meth-head mini trucker was trying to steal engine parts to scrap for his next fix. Then I was like oh its just Jon. I wonder why Ratsun keeps unfollowing me on this thread. Ive clicked follow like a billion times and it wont stay more than one or two updates.
  15. Oh yeah... I remember that from our PM. I was just letting him know there was a line. Im not holding my breath.
  16. Yep, patiently (or so) waiting my time until I can swoop in.
  17. Haha yeah, I mentioned that a couple days ago. Its convient that hes got a set, but hes pretty intent on keeping it auto to keep it original since its sooooo clean. BUT, you bet Ill be trying to measuring them if we have to pull the engine for any maintenance or anything.
  18. Let me know when you need a hand with that truck... I'll roll down and help out.
  19. I'm sure the quality suspension work and pieces will be great. When I went from crap real suspension to legit pieces the rear handled and functioned 100x better.
  20. Yep, first pan change on a Datsun. I've done easily maybe 20 changes on other cars and have never had such difficulty before. Well, it should be far easier in the future as I know what the fuck I'm doing now. Thanks Q for the help and the lesson.
  21. The black one. The JDM has the wood appliqué.
  22. You can buy either the Chilton or Haynes... there are only a few small errors in the books. They are better than nothing though to start your build. Its not a FSM though so it only gives you a basic start on each section of the car.
