SIXTY-NINE-DIME Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 So since i cant find my thread on here cause its been so long since i revived it, i figured id catch u guys up=] (yes its copied from stanceworks) ahhh where to began. bought this car from some douche bags backyard about a year and a half ago. paid 500 (over paid) for the car with no title or bill of sell. to make a long story short, i brought it home knowing nothing about 510's or cars in general. started doing some home work and started tearing apart the car. learned a little bit about the little l motor in side and tore apart the motor and swapped a high comp peanut head and got it running. blew it. put an l20b in. hated it. not a huge fan of l motor performance. bought a ka24de swapped it in.. then the fun started. put in a welded diff and cut the springs. blah blah blah... any ways. tired of typing. time for some pics from old to new. warning: old pics are pretty bad. then went through a really bad mismatched color stage. ka24de (the first one) custom oil pan put it in a ditch.. no big deal then my fetish for being low started. still wasnt low enough so we did a custom set up with shortened 280zx struts with kyb rabbit inserts Quote Link to comment
SIXTY-NINE-DIME Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 about an hour after lowering it i ripped a hole in the oil pan on a road turtle and blew the motor. swapped in another one that had a bad ring and smoked ridiculously. blew that too. now we are in the present time ha. im on my 5th motor, 3rd ka. i love the feel of ka's but really want to build an na ca18de with throttle bodies. soon enough. how it sits now. i really need some wheels. thinking about either works, or 15x7 15x8 image wheels. im trying to get perfect fitment while being slammed, which is extremely hard with 510's, especially four doors. they have inner lips in the fenders that must be cut. needless to say, i have a big collection of road turtles. my crossmember eats them: so i appoligies in advance for the crappy pics but this is pretty much a little update to pass the time at work till im infront of my laptop ha ha. so about a week or two ago i busted a tie rod going through seattles gay bumpy roads. luckily i have aaa. so the guy with the flat bed cam, looked under it, got up and said "how the hell am i towing this?" ha heres the proof pic. figured id share my creative side with you guys ha heres my steering wheel (disredard the super cool jdm horn button, only one i have) than i got a cool idea to use my old spark plug socket for my l motor as a shift handle. not a big fan of the stock rearview mirror so went and bought a broadway mirror than bought a new deck. old one didnt have ipod hook ups:/ than my favorite part.. LOWER!!! now its official. tucking 13's.. what five ten have u seen tuck 13's??? inagine what id do with 15's:) now some random pics of the car!! :] and most updated pic from today in the snow.

Stupid_fast Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'de suggest a skid plate for the crossmember... You wont blow another oil pan that way. :D Also you could go maor loar with one... That truly looks epic. On a side note, how the hell did he tow it? Quote Link to comment

You wont blow another oil pan that way. :D Also you could go maor loar with one... That truly looks epic. On a side note, how the hell did he tow it? has a skid plate and the oil pan is almost 2.5 inches higher than the crossmember in the back and 4 in the front. it will never hit again :) only thing i worry about when i scrape or switch lanes is tranny and my tie rods. i also cant make it over most speedbumps unless i have a passenger who is down to push.. even with my welded diff, although the diff does make it easier.

This car been broke more times than all my datsuns combined in 20years Frank likes the money odd cause i havent talked to frank in a pretty long time, and most of the stuff that ive broken has nothing to do with being low. only thing i broke from being low is an oil pan and a tie rod. thats it. my car broke down a lot in the past though, but thats common for a car that gets pulled out of a guys back yard after sitting for 10+ years, have a motor tossed in and then daily'd.
