510T Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 My hood cable gave up the ghost recently. I had been watching the cable fray slowly and knew it was going to happen sooner or later. It decided to let go embarrassingly when the car was at a friend's getting some work done and I wasn't around :( I had been using a vise grip to get by but with a trackday coming up I figured it was a good time to repair it. I have seen a few how-to's on here and put quite a bit of (maybe too much) thought into what I wanted. I didn't want to modify anything too much and figured out how to replace the cable without pulling my grill or intercooler. My ingredients were a vintage but new Odyssey Slic Kable and some hardware store cable ferrules. Everything came out rather well and only caused minor frustration, most of which was from monkeying around upside down in the driver footwell. New cable installed into latch: New cable wrapped around handle pin and crimped: And done: 2 Quote Link to comment

He got a little carried away after passing the FRS methinks ;) Not sure about the configuration, but it was this organizations first event, so maybe that and the weather. Not bad your kind of slow though, if I had my truck I would tear that track a new ass hole..lol Good job and good for that fuckin BMW. I'd love to be there to witness that beautiful truck singing FJ sounds down the main straight! Funny the FRS spun out earlier in the day too. :rofl: 2 Quote Link to comment
510T Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 New wheels and tires! Bart steelies, 15x8 -12 for the front and 15x8 -38 for the back. I'm waiting on some big 1" spacers for the front to clear the caliper, they will end up spaced 30mm for an effective offset of -42. The rear wheels will also be spaced 10mm for an effective -48. Tires are 195/55R15. 3 Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Mad offset bro. Better looking rims, nice work! 1 Quote Link to comment
Twodoordime Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Oh man that video from thunderhill makes me want to build a 510 for track days. I used to go to buttonwillow with speedventures back when I had my civic. Great build! 1 Quote Link to comment

510T Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I wanted something cheap that I could do burnouts and the like with. The 15x9's with 225 tires will be for auto-x or track days. 3 Quote Link to comment
