Twodoordime Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Lol I've been on ratsun and the realm for many years. I was formerly known at "datsunkid-510-". I think there are more Datsun owners with 2+ Datsuns than just 1 lol Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 So today was a decent day. My ignition switch was bad so when i went to start the car i had to flick it back to "on" from "start" while the motor was still turning over from the starter. Got a new ignition switch in and she starts ACE. Also i installed an alternator out of a 1993 saturn i got from the junkyard for 20 bucks. Lastly i took the bigass seats that came with the car out and installed some pretty poor condition stock seats, but at least now i can get to the back seat! These were the seats i removed if anyone wants them im asking 125 bucks for the pair. In excellent condition just not my style. Im in BOISE idaho Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 today was a good day me and few friends went up bogus mountain for some pics. The 510's clutch fan is officially worthless so she ALMOST made it. Time for an electric fan i guess, Anyway here are some pictures. Please excuse the crooked front end the car was in an accident before i owned it and im still working on getting everything lined up. Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Man, your's is the only cool car up there...maybe the BMW comes in second 1 Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Believe it or not the escort has quite a bit of mods. K sport coilovers, real te37's, bunch of chassis braces, dual cam swap, he uses it for autox. The accord despite looking stock has a modified h22 with 200+whp. Its definitely a funny bunch of cars.

hobbes_the_cat Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Very cool rat! The "Datsun" stripe down the sides really has me thinking about that for my car, I love it! Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Very cool rat! The "Datsun" stripe down the sides really has me thinking about that for my car, I love it! It was a dealer option. You can get them on eBay. Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 ^^^ I know, I have seen them too. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet... probably should get a decent paint job first. Plus with an Orange/red car like this one it's easy to go with white for a stripe, but my car is white, so what color stripe do I go with? Red? Black? Decisions decisions... either way this car has brought it back into my mind, it looks too cool. Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks Hobbes! I dig the decal too. I'm looking for a replacement valance because its the only part of the car that is too beat for my taste. Thanks for the encouragement fellas. Quote Link to comment
Dirttrack510 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 So far, so good :thumbup: I'm digging the car. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks dirttrack! Put the bumper off my 69 on the dd for now. The 69 has a long way to go before im worrying about bumpers lol. Been trying to figure out my overheating issue. She climbs on the freeway above 60mph. Oh well gives me something to do this weekend! Also pulled another set of front struts out of my parts 510 to cut and shorten this weekend. So look forward to some new pics! Hopefully a tad lower. Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Bought this for the 510. I thought it was funky so i figured why not. Also i got a free set of new in box rabbit kyb inserts......after i had ordered a set on saturday -_- Quote Link to comment

Twodoordime Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's a 13". It was only 29 bucks so I figured why not Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Got an aftermarket temp gauge installed, my stock gauge was reading that she was overheating and the aftermarket gauge....reads 184 -_-...I guess I learned my lesson on actually checking if something is wrong before trying to fix it. Oh well new thermostat (old was stuck open) and an electric fan are installed now. Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 this steering wheel makes me happy. Now i just need to find a cool horn button. Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Installed an old head unit i had laying around, fits pretty nicely! Too bad i dont have any speakers installed yet because i cant decide how to install them.... Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I was dealing with an overheating issue when a friend snapped this pic, i can dig it. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 why is it still overheating? why havnt you brought it by for us to fix it?? why are we stil talking??? :lol: Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Um it was overheating because of a bad clutch fan in this pic, I haven't brought it anywhere because I'm a mechanic by trade, and we are still talking because there is a potential friendship forming?
