Tristin Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I think you need to throw a BBQ at Hans place. We get burgers and you get some help on wrenching. Would be win-win. Quote Link to comment

Haha, I was going to say something about the fact that maybe it didn't work because his wife had them in her vise still, but didn't..... Around here, I can always count on someone else saying what I was thinking :rofl: Quote Link to comment
ol' 320 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I'm interested in the thread updates on how you are going to do your rearend. Question, with the seat modifications you did to accommodate your height and the Acura seats, how far forward will the driver's seat go? Also, what are those front brakes? Is the L20 rebuilt or just cleaned up? Is it stock internally? I had the SUs on my Volvo 122s completely worked over by a guy who really knew what he was doing. Cost some bux, but I never had to touch them again and they got terrific gas mileage and made good power. What size are these SU carbs you plan to run, and are they really SUs or some sort of Hitachi knockoffs? I know Volvos much better than I do Datsuns ... but I drove my Volvo with dual Webers and dual SUs. The Webers had awesome grunt and sounded great when you got on them, but the SUs, once redone and set up right, were absolutely trouble free, smooth through all throttle positions and made way better gas mileage. They seemed to make almost as much power at top end, too. What gears are you going to use in the rearend? I'm not really familiar with air suspension. What will your ride quality be when this is all built out, better or worse than a stock goon in good shape? How much lower than stock do you plan to end up when this is finished? And if you are hauling stuff, will the air bags give you an increased load capacity? Is this thing gonna hop like an overactive cockroach or a '63 Impala driving through East LA or levitate smoothly up and down? Just wondering what you think the ride quality will be when this is built out as you envision. I am really enjoying this build thread. Like Jesus' thread on the510keeper's wagon rear suspension, I hope to learn alot by seeing what you plan to do with this. Don't take this the wrong way, but I wish you would do a tradeout with someone in the phone business and swap some powdercoat for a decent cell with a good camera...;) Besides giving better build updates, you could take some better pics of those overpriced but fleeting dance recital moments (I laughed that one, I'm been there too). Also, is there a thread on your friend Hans' truck build? Quote Link to comment

ol' 320 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 will a rotary compressor work just as well for your air supply? Lot smaller and lighter than a York. I will call you this afternoon. Thanks for talking with me briefly. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 yes but yorks are known for being the best option....roatarys are hard to keep lubed and although a common ocnversion sfor a air cmpressor the york is stout and lubbage is never a issue ....looks like it goes on the the alt side of the motor ... i was tryng to put it on the dist side of the motor.....that was the roomier side the passenger side with my saturn alt is a little tight for space.... i will take it home onight and hold it up to the block and see how it fits....the small bracket withthe idler replaces the front nspection cover for the cam.....mighta powdercoated it a little too soon.... i am seeing some cleanup or possibly heavy grinding to clear my much bigger saturn alt....i also have a sanden rotary screw if this wont work....like i said would prefer the ork but i might have to make a whole new brakets fo rthe intake side to make i work...york is nice all the mounting is symetrical....so whats one one side is onthe other too...

banzai510(hainz) Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 the red 521 is clean under the hood!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

[pretty minimal now but he doesnt wanna try jetting it so he is gonna swap it with a non choked weber he has....i offered to rebuild it then put it back on...but he needs transoirtation its getting to cold to ride this he puts 60 miles a day on this ... i told him well the 521 should be about as comfort able hahahah... under hood is pretty clean...couple welded iron pieces where the gas pedal ripped off the fire wall apparently i guess...thats what previous owner said Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 ol 320 if u want u could text me i respond to that when i can but for me to siit down and spend 10 minutes on the phone is tough... at least my wife says so... Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Mmmmm, I'm digging that center console! Might have to see about finding one for our 510 as well. I don't have enough hands to steer, shift and drink.... and my legs are too short to steer with my knee :lol: And your guys' trucks are looking good! i was side tracked flying my rc plane....Sometimes I curse living pretty far from you in terms of getting shit powdercoated, but I have a feeling that if we lived closer we'd be in trouble, as Brody would be all over flying rc planes with you guys..... and we really can't afford another relatively expensive hobby!
