ptown green Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Can anyone please recommend some 510 outer tie rod ends to me please? Everything on rockauto looks a little cheap and moog pisses me off with the repackaging. I already had to send those back once. Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 The Chevelle's gonna get overspray on it. We should probably just keep it safe at my house. Quote Link to comment

DAT510 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK i like that valve cover pin striping on that wouldn't be half bad. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I used to have shaved handles on my 2dr.............and hated it. After the 15th time you lock yourself out of the car you'll wish you had regular handles again. I finally de-shaved mine and put the handles back on. Think this over carefully before you paint it.

Oh I put a lot of thought into it before I went and shaved them. Too late now. I have a good back up plan though. I even have it covered in the case of the battery going dead, AND being locked out. I dont really want to explain everything to the whole world though haha 1 Quote Link to comment

erikcarter Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I bought the moog kit for my goon and wasn't pleased with it, they just took other companies crap and put it in their box. If I had to do it over I would use the Emrish Racing kit. Quote Link to comment

lil89ram50 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 isnt the oil fiter housing on upside down? Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I think your coil over perches are welded on backwards. The flat spot on the ring should be towards the tire to allow for clearance. Quote Link to comment
ptown green Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 isnt the oil fiter housing on upside down? Shit I hope not. I just put it on how it was when I got it. I think that might be the only way it will bolt up actually. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 The coilover perch probably isn't going to matter, since you should have a TON of room anyways. The oil filter, I would assume, should be pointed down if you can bolt it on that way. Otherwise it's going to dump oil all over the place when you try to remove it. The old E1's were this way, and a HUGE pain when it came to changing the filter. You had to degrease the engine every time you changed the oil. Quote Link to comment

Yeah thats the only way the oil filter housing will bolt to the block. Most of the oil will be drained down be drained down out of the filter i think before i take it off. I hopw anyway. Yeah i dont think the coilover perch will make any differance no matter how i put it on. If i end up getting super wide wheels the tire will hit the spring too any way Quote Link to comment
ptown green Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I would really appreciate some advise on this. Hopefully Indy will chime in here! I want these wheels for my 510 http://www.racinglab...akotan-008.html Im assuming the pictured 510 has zx struts. I just have stock 510 struts and I have all the lips on my fenders rolled up.. Searching around everywhere says there's no way you can fit 15x7 +0's but then theres always pics around of people who did it or even wider/lower offset. So what is the deal with that? Is there more to fitting them then I know? These are 15x7 +4 and I wouldn't mind a little stretch, like some 175's or 165's or something, but I dont want a shit ton of negative camber. And I want to tuck the tires. Will these be sticking way out of my front fenders so I couldn't lower it like I want or will it be fine? Please dont post if your just pointing out that Im a noob :unsure: I just have all the mixed responses confusing me. (with all due respect, btw) Quote Link to comment

ptown green Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Okay so I put the drive shaft in. But I need your guys help. I have a dogleg 5 speed from a 78' 510 and the car came with a stock 4 speed. I thought that I could just bolt this sumbitch in there but I guess not. The bolt holes in the tranny mount are about an inch or two back from the holes in the body so a bolt will not pass through. Ive been doing research trying to find out what the easiest way to correct this would be as Im assuimg i just drill new holes that line up with the mount and put a bold through with a nut on one side. Is there a better way to do this? Also through my research I found out that the mount has to be spaced for the driveline to be straight but Ive read different amounts. Is it an inch? or 1/2 inch? Please help me out I have not found a clear answer to this Quote Link to comment
