Whats your wheel set up? Just what I am looking for on my red 510 - your car looks to be at a similar height As for what I have done to mine recently- Been working on it everynight for a week - got stainless steel brake lines in - repacked and torqued my front wheel bearings - tore apart the rear passenger hub to replace those bearings- thats on hold right now while I wait for parts- got a 5 point harness in for the passenger and going to go put the drivers in now.

macgyver Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Whats your wheel set up? Just what I am looking for on my red 510 - your car looks to be at a similar height They are rota rkr's 15x8's (0) offset, I'm running 280zx struts, ground controll coilovers,(camber plates up front) on all 4 corners.. Plan on going a bit lower in the rear , have to bang in the inner fender a hair, the front height (IMO) is just about right. Quote Link to comment
demo243 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thanks- I want to do 15s down the road and figuring out wheel stuff seems so confusing on 510s Quote Link to comment

akawes Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 was going to do some random work on fine tuning the carb buttttttt..... It f'ing snowed. Bleh it needs to be spring already. Quote Link to comment
jovial_cynic Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Installed the sr20. And then realized I forgot to install the clutch kit, so I dropped the cross member and steering linkages and took apart the engine/tranny, installed the clutch kit, and put it all back together. Next up is the turbo piping and the wiring. Quote Link to comment

darc510 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Began fixing my dash pad. Cutting down the splitting volcanoes and using bondo glass fill them in. At a stopping point in deciding to either paint it or cover with some spare vinyl. Leaning towards the later, may employ the wife to do it...since she is all Martha Stewart like :) Quote Link to comment

zianian Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I sold a TV today... and that'll pay for over 54% of the shipping my 510 from TX to NY fee. That counts don't it? Quote Link to comment
