I have a few ideas about how it could be done. All of them would require a good deal of fab work...but I know it could be done.

Yeah it would be a great deal of fab work but in the end it would be well worth it. Frank said we should do it to mine when we get back from Canby, I told him if I cut the front end up dual A arms are going on :) I think raising the frame rails would be awesome but in the end the car will still have pogo stick suspension haha. It would be nice to raise it high enough to get rid of bump steer and have some ground clearance. If it was all done I think the valve cover would be above the hood :)

 

Today we are going to work on the exhaust tunnel, hopefully get at least the back half done :) I want to get the rack figured out again to! We gotta hurry if we want to get it drivable by Canby.

there is a local guy doing this to his race car, wish hed show it to me but hes not letting anyone see it until its ready :mad:

[Duke]

I've seen unibody cars (racecars mainly) that they cut the whole floor pan out and moved it up in the body. I would agree with you in that if I were going to go to all this work I would go to double A arms.

 

In my opnion, I would do the rear suspension first. I really liked the miata rear suspension swap that 510wizard/Monty was doing. I could see it being pretty easy (relatively) to make it so that would bolt up to the stock x-member and moustach bar mounting points.

[Icehouse]

I like the rx7, aluminum A arms are the shit! From what I've seen I think the rear crossmember can be rebuilt narrower without changing the geomotry. I haven't seen to many pics of the front suspension, I'm sure it can be made to fit :) I agree though the rear of mine will be redone way before the front, semi trailing arms suck ass!

[Duke]

Yeah, dynamic toe change SUCKS...thats why I run effin stiff springs. You know what they say, any suspension will work if you don't let it!

[goichi1]

Looks good! I will try to come by one day next week when it's nice out...would like to meet up with you guys again!

[510_Dillon]

yesterday was a long day, wolfman and I sanded so my dad could get some paint sprayed, our goal was to get the jams and around the windows and inside so we could put the headliner and windows in and just start reasembling everything inside, i was going to post lastnight but i was to tired haha

hope you like the pics, i think it turned out good :D

time for the clear coat!

[djlotus]

Nice color, is that the color it's gonna be, or is that just a basecoat?

[Duke]

That color is SICK!

Nice color selection :cool:

[510_Dillon]

thanks, i tried picking a color that was a little different, i think it looks good :D

today we got the trunk on with the seal, and got a lot of interior pieces together for when we start putting it all togther inside,

[yello620]

Looking good, I like the color also. Mostly like the color because you chose something different.

 

See you at Canby

That color looks awesome, like the shiny version of my car:

 

[kiznook]

Well shit, now the color wont be as original when I shoot my car :(

 

But I'll have the 4 door version :D

 

Progress looks good. Canby shall be good!

Yeah....our long gone 510 wagon was that color... only extremely faded from the Hawaiian sun. :cool:

 

Yup, Canby is gonna rock! But you knew that already, didn't ya? :D

[DOM]

TOJO'S staff car. I like the color....I would paint a RED meatball on the door and make it look like a ZERO. Maybe some painted rivets and other military style Japanese markings. :D

[tiltnose510]

That would make a cool BRE scheme of sorts. Looks really nice.

Tiltnose...do you or did you have a JDM shop in Monroe at one time ? I think I seen your car in there about a year and half ago. Is it a 510 shell over a highly modifed and one off tube frame with a NA SR that has been turbo charged.

 

Cool race car by the way regardless.
