freaky510 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I thought i saw a post some were about the 510 in the new issue of Modified Mag its a nice dime a sad story and a lot of work. Now dont get me wrong but hey could of found a better dime than that. Iam not trying to piss people off but whats so big about a 510 with a ka in it we all have seen it. in my personal opion the sould have done some research at the mag and found idk may a car like Green Bastard's if you have seen his car you would know what iam talking about a 510 witha 3.3 or 3.5 in it. come on people thats to kool.all custom intior the fattest suspension around. sorry but if i were going to put that much cash in my ride it would not sport a ka. :mad: in a way i feel i wasted 5 bucks on the mag FrEaKy Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 was it a full article? or just a little tiny blurb. I may go buy it just to have something to toss on the top of the toilet tank Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 it was the full deal.and for those of ypu who havent seen green bastards dime check it out you will see waht i mean Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 i felt they same way as you after seeing that. it is a real nice dime but there is nothing that really stands out on that car to be able to get a feature imo. its cool that they did a feature on a 510, but wasnt impressed on the car they picked. oh well, it still gives me inspiration to head out and work on the dime in our shop Quote Link to comment
Green Bastard Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks for the props Freaky. I have been pretty close once to getting my car professionally shot, but the Portland Police managed to get in the way (again). Shiny car or not, I think you still kick my butt out on the auto-x course:D Maybe one of these years I will figure out how to drive fast.;) Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 idk i just drive my dime like i stole it.:eek: You put up a good challange.Hope to see you this year at some races. But really your car is way nicer than the 1 in the mag.I know that iam not the Datsun god but i have seen just about every kind of swap from an electric datsun to a v8 powered 510 and your little Green Bastard is the cleanest swap i have seen you took your time and made the swap really clean the engine bay is beautiful you intior is TOP of the line:D and clean. if i can get a hold of Modified mag i have a few sug:fu:. for them so hopefuly we will see a 510 worthy of a 4 page artical in a mag. hey Green Bastard do you have a link so we can show the peps what a 510 swap should look like??:eek: Quote Link to comment
77Datsun620 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 i have that issue, and i agree, The kid got hurt at work and got a big settlement, and proceeded to spend way to much money, here's a quote from the article "This 510 is not representative of a low budget endeavor. Abandon all hopes of building this exact car for less than, oh, a boatload of cash. Let's just say it looks the new BMW M5 squarley in the eye, and makes a 335i twin-turbo appear to be a bargain" Base price on a 335i TT starts at $40,000 and goes well over $50,000, and the only work done to the KA is a longtube header and NOS( and i would hope a fresh rebuild) :lol Just reading the article makes you realise, how all those people you hear about winning the lotto, and then are broke 5 years later, how they lose all there money, cause they spend way to much for frivalous stuff, and dont think.

banzai510(hainz) Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I think its a Beautiful car. Didnt need to hear he was in a accident and got a whole bunch of money But its great to see 510 still in magazines no matter what. Grass Roots Motorsports/Classic car seems to have the most 510s in any of the magazines Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 set of a letter will post if they even reply. Quote Link to comment
fiveNdime Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Well all I can say is there was more crap he could have waisted his money on. So what if he got cash, I guess all who are jelous can hate that fact and not look past it. I know some of you and maybe even I would put stupid amounts of money into a car because we are car people. Oh ya, are you hating the guys who are restoring a classic cars and are getting more then 50 grand out of it? Remember what our hobby is! Stop being cool guys Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Now here is a nice 510 Quote Link to comment

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 that thing is sweet. does anyone know where to get that carbon front lip from? my dad ordered one from a company that made carbon BRE lips but then they mysteriously went out of business. Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 see now thats a datsun. and yes thats Green Bastard :Dbefore the 3.3 i belive. now if that car was in the mag i think all dimers would be drooling rather than being depressed of an artical.imo Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 okay, I finally got around to reading the article last night. OF COURSE the car isn't very exciting, and OF COURSE Jordan's car is far more worthy to be featured (among others!) Did anyone else notice anything wrong with the front marker lights? They look to have been switched laeft for right. WTF? Quote Link to comment
Green Bastard Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks for posting the pics Bleach. Now I know what my car is supposed to look like......maybe time to start washing it up again. That is the 3.3 motor, same physical dimensions as the old 300zx 3.0 I had in there. Thanks for all the compliments, but I can think of at least 12 other dimes that are nicer than mine. :( It's always a work in progress... Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 yea right 12 i would love to see these cars. no i have got to see these cars. Quote Link to comment
