izzo Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I think it was 45$ Just get it straighten , see what happens. Im sure they will say it needs this and that. But you have to buy their stuff and and it marked up another 50-100%. If you have them do it. Or you do it your self them have them ck it out.They have the fancy laser alignment thing they bolt to the wheels. They will not put your parts on if you get them else where,Even if new in the box. so just get the alignment. You are exactly right! However, here its only 28 dollars for an alignment :D it would be about 45-50 if i had them adjust the camber but i dont think there is camber adjustment on stock 510 + i dont think thats the problem Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Ok that does look odd, alignment should fix that. The alignment shop mantra: Set the toe, take the dough, let them go. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Ok that does look odd, alignment should fix that. The alignment shop mantra: Set the toe, take the dough, let them go. Yes, it is odd. Odd like this picture :unsure: Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 The toe was off, opposite of what it should have been. He said it was a little over an eighth inch the wrong direction. Its been adjusted, haven't taken it on a drive yet to see if there is a difference (schwabs is only a few blocks from here) Ill throw a good set of tires on the front and watch to see what happens.

banzai510(hainz) Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 put the back tires in the front if same size. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 put the back tires in the front if same size. Thats the plan :D Rears i think are 195 and fronts are 185, ill probably swap them anyways. I looked around and dont see a clearance issue Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I just did the tie-rod ends on my Sunny. Pretty simple. Just loosen the castle nut, and loosen the adjustment nut on the back side. The adjustment nut was opposite threaded for mine, so it may be the same for you. I spent hours whacking on the damn thing and it wasn't turning. (I was going the wrong way) Soaked it with some PB blaster and applied some heat and it came loose like nothing. Popped the castle nut off and took a good whack on top with a hammer and ta-da!!

izzo Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 lol ya the adjusters weren't a problem. It was the stud where the castle nut is, it is being a whore. Oh well, went in and got an alignment. Ill do the tie rods later. I checked em and they are still ok right now. Quote Link to comment

I should be at canby, thanks a lot for that motor. It sucked unloading it myself :rofl: I need to snag up an engine stand somewhere! Its sitting in my shed now. I need to get the timing cover from cory or see if freaky510 still has one laying around. Need to find a head also. have a brand new water pump already. Thanks a lot for the motor man, it will be a nice upgrade from the l16. its kind of tired, but still seems to run alright. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 got a 68 finned valve cover from nukeday a while back, here it is. Good shape, just bad paint! Picked up an L20 bottom end from dat620guy. Good shape, just needs a little cleaning, paint, and thrown together. Someone painted my grille black, along with the headlight bezels. Fixed that today. They still need polished but good enough for now. Put some paint stripper on there, it worked a little but not good! It only got some off, i tried again and it didn't do any better. So i sat there with a little scraping tool and about an hour or so later i was finished. Bezels installed. Valve cover stripped of paint, scrubbed with soap inside and out, then used an SOS pad on it to really get it clean. I need to do a little sanding on it to get it a bit cleaner look but oh well. I plan on painting it, think i will photo shop a few ideas to see what i can come up with.. Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 nice thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Alright, brakes are adjusted and working 100% Driver rear could use a new cylinder as its gettin a bit leaky, ill get one ordered in and replace it next week. Pulled the alternator out and got my KA alternator out. Pulled the pulley off and realized it wont work swapping them. I need a car pulley. Shitty! Anyone have a KA car pulley? Mines the big ol truck serpentine one... Noticed when i loosened the alt adjuster bracket anti-freeze was going on the ground. Water pump bolts were loose, as well as some of the timing cover bolts. Got those all snug again. Checked around, foudn a bunch more that were loose such as valve cover and 2 of the exhaust bolts. All taken care of :D list of things... Build the L20 (need head, timing cover, inspection cover) Replaced tie rods/ball joints and whatever else is fucked on the steering. LOWER IT... Id like to get some diamond plating and replace all the door panels in the car. Maybe use material instead but I kind of like the diamond plating. Need to pull the gauge cluster out and clean the contacts up, replace lights with LEDs Center console would be awesome. Need to install the rear speakers into the back.. Fix the core support, figured out why it has a 68 fender on it yesterday <_< Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Why tho older fenders? Rot? :angry: Quote Link to comment
