well i decided to address the motor bay..i wire wheeled it, then hand sanded, then sand blasted the hard to get to spots...i spray lined it, then went over it with a brush to smooth it out, then hit it with a epoxy high gloss black...

You should have removed the stock battery tray.. It is gonna be right in the way of the throttle body

 

I said the same thing when I checked it out, Although its a good bit of work to relocate the battery in the trunk (nicely) and camby is coming! Guess you could shave the shelf, run the battery cable and just strap in the trunk till after camby ;)

i was gonna remove it but i hunted down a bunch of pics and a lot of the ka 510s still had it.....good thing is on mock up if it DONT fit i will remove it.....it will only take about 10 mins to blend the liner spray and epoxy to match....if i get the set up like logical 1 it will be going in trunk....good lookn out....

When i stuck my SOHC in my 510 it was wayyyy to close for me so i hacked it out. Im almost positive the dohc sits over farther and would have been an issue... but when i went to DOHC it was already gone so no way to compare :P

 

 

I would pull it off anyways. I think the engine bay looks better without a big ass battery in the corner. Plus you can throw it in the trunk and offset some weight.

Ahh i lied... I still had it onwhen i first dropped the KA in.

 

 

Here is a pic. It looks like the nut for the end of the throttle shaft is touching the batt tray.

hella sad it is!!!

 

:) perfect.

the air filter would be obstructed, but the support pass around where the oval hole is the tray (was)

 

looks like it will not require significant (BFH) reengineering.
