Cmac Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 It all started with an 800.00 dollar purchase almost 5 years ago and the thought of my father and I looking at ex westwood race car for my first car and my dad telling me hell no! over 23 years ago. Its been allot of work and its still not to where I want it to be but its been fun to say the least. With the help and guidance when needed from fellow builders that have now become great friends its about time to have some fun with it this spring.

blueridgespeed Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 WHOA! The Brembos (?) front and rear caught my eye! Can you tell us more about the brake mods. Are the TE37's 16's or did they need to be larger to clear? Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 4 lug in the rear and 5 lug up front? Quote Link to comment

WAGON JON Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 hey is Mario from TSR still making stuff for 510s? tried to look up stuff from him and no luck. Yo, Cmac, I was wondering the same thing? Is Mario still making the 510 goods? You got his numba? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 So why did you go with opposite sided calipers? IE fronts have the caliper on the front, and backs have the caliper on the back side. Oh and this car is gorgeous! Quote Link to comment
Cmac Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Ah caliper location you can mount your struts either forward or rear I mounted them forward and did not care for the look they are now mounted the other way. Others say it is better to have your brakes closer to center of gravity yet if you look at some of the super cars being built today they mount the calipers on the front, options are endless. Mario / TSR is still making parts for 510 and has never stopped he has developed some new parts as well that should be good to see this spring. He has spent most of his time completing some customers cars this year one of them requested a cv flanged carbon fiber drive shaft of all things it looks really cool. The other part is a r200 rear diff mount Quote Link to comment

The other part is a r200 rear diff mount I was getting ready to take Mario out of the stone ages and do a website for him in trade for some of his parts. Kevin was working the deal but it just kind of fell through. I wish he would put up a site so we can buy his parts, it is hard getting a hold of him. Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yeh, but the thing with Mario, is the same for all people in the car world...............When you do work that's as good as his, people will find you. He probably has plenty of work without even having to advertise. Quote Link to comment
