INDY510 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Which wires do I need to keep?: Quote Link to comment
hillbillyhector Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 sooo...not selling the 710 wagon then hu? ...I've got my plate full with projects too (just started a new thread on here)....but if that time comes... keep it in the family! (bay area Ratsun family, that is)...and the 'hacked' two door? I like! Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yeah ,,, , I almost sold the 710... I just couldn't let it go ......... but it needs to be my daily driver ,,,,,,,, and I have WAY too many plans for it: It needs a new MAF, an oxygen sensor,,, and a new clutch ...... I wish I had the time/money/fab skills to go turbo, I would rather have it slammed than faster,,,, it needs better brakes/suspension, new tie rods/ball joints,, and it needs a MadDat 180b front sump sway bar I scored a used pedalbox, and I have been dreaming about rack and pinion with some huge N/A headers So I need some votes,,,, should I paint the 510? ,,,, or start fixing the 710?

hillbillyhector Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 a painful decision... the 510 is a "no holds barred" approach (which can get pricey!)... where as the wagon is a more rare and streetable rig, so the approach should be well thought out and conservative ....overall, not a bad conundrum to find yourself in....two totally worthy projects!

INDY510 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 . My 510 was white when I got it 9 years ago.. .. .. . I painted it dark green at Maaco in 2005 for $350,,, because I did all the prep work... (and it's still peeling up everywhere) In 2007 it was time for moar lowar...... :lol: : Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 . 2 years ago....... . I raised the Control arm pivot points 1 inch,,,, shortened the stock PL510 struts, (now with coilovers)...... heim jointed Control arms and T/C rods Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 damn, the orange car looks funny with those dinky tires on there. great otherwise :) Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 What radiator is that? Seems to fit perfectly. Also, the radiator in your wagon; is that one that would fit in the 510? I'm looking for the right cooling system for my 71. Thanks Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 The radiator in my 510 is a griffin from summit,,, It is 15.5" high X 27" wide and 3" thick....... It took some cutting and hammering to get it to fit like that........ I think Duke and a few others have the same radiator. The 710's radiator is that cheesy one on ebay with the nice looking KA24DE 510 engine bay and the kinked IACV hose I got it with the dual 12" electric fans and shroud.......... I tried to fit in in my 510, and it would require some cutting of the core support, and it just looks too thin....... I was dissapointed the dimensions are only 13" high X 26" wide X 1.5" thick ....... that is really thin and it should be a couple inches taller than the fans.... I think 15.5" is the max hieght for a 510 radiator,,, and even that is kinda tall ....... some radiators on ebay claim to be for a 510 and they are 16.5" tall,,, good luck closing the hood.
