his dudeness

Thanks for the tips guys. I want my car to not be obnoxious all the time, just loud when I've got the radio turned down and I'm on a twisty road giving the tranny a workout.

So I recently bought a 510 with a Ka24 swap. The exhaust on it though is in my opinion kind of a goofy "fart can" style that comes out at a weird angle. It's also really loud, not that loud is necessarily a bad thing but it might be just a little too overbearing. I'd like to get something that looks a little more clean looking and a little quieter for when I'm just cruising around on the streets. But with that, I still want it to have a good sound and get a little angry when I'm getting on it. Any suggestions?

Ahhhhh. That sounds like it would make sense. So should I look for a bad angle on the driveshaft under the car? How do I check for it to be balanced?

More pics to come hopefully next week. Going to do a little wash and detailing as best I can tomorrow morning before work. Couple things that I would like advice/ recommendations on... 1. I want a drivers side mirror. The previous owner removed the mirrors and filled in the holes. I'm guessing this should be a ridiculously easy project to do (pro level bicycle mechanic but learning about cars) but if it's not please tell me. 2. The tranny is out of a 240z, has a bit of a whine in 4th and 5th gear. If I'm not on the gas= no whine, if I'm just cruising=whine, if I'm stomping on the gas= less whine. My buddy said a good starting point is to check the tranny fluid, and do a flush and that should quiet it down. Any of you run into similar things and have any experience on down the road stuff? 3. Brakes... Stock brakes are weak (iv'e heard it's a well known thing though). I've seen replacement kits out there for not too much and my friends and I can do the work without too much trouble... Anything cheaper than the Wilwood kits though? Trying to be on a budget, don't need race level stopping power but just a little boost.

truth

So, I never thought I'd ever own one. But then I got a new job and I needed a commuter car. Of course a Hyundai or a civic is 100% more practical and smart but I decided that my window of opportunity was there to get a 510. Convincing the wife took a bit of time and she insisted that it look pretty and be reliable. Who knows how reliable this little guy will be but at least it looks good and gives me the ability to tinker.

Giving this a shot to see if it works. My buddy is a photographer and he'll be back home soon from vacation. I'll post more pics then. 72 4 door. KA24 swap. 240z tranny and diff. Konig wheels. Interior is pretty darn clean, corbeau seats.

Just bought a 4 door 510. Absolutely beyond stoked! Been wanting one for years and years and now I've got one. Haze away at the Fu**in Amateur here!
