mhub91 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 The A10 wandered all over the road, body roll was severe, bouncy, understeer from hell!!!! It sucked, to be.honest. Quote Link to comment
A10_Johnny Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Ah, .... Why shorter shocks???? If lowered, wouldn't the suspension bottom before the shocks do??? Why would it be designed otherwise? So how do I avoid bottoming out when running coil covers? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 So how do I avoid bottoming out when running coil covers? Use shorter strut housings and inserts. Either shorten yours, or better yet use a 280ZX strut. It's already shorter. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Oops it's not a B210.... Wrong fucking thread. What the fuck are you on about? :rofl: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 I wonder if this does the trick : Yup. Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Careful with those " Eastwood style" rollers, they can be used and work fine, but I've seem some amateurs ( no idea of your knowledge level) really screw fenders up.....always remember, LITTLE bit at a time.... Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 As I recall, you had ZX struts right? heres my a10 with 15x7 0 offset.... Quote Link to comment

chevtruknut Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Yep, that's what I recommend Ed earlier. I've been doing bodywork for over 40 years, and that's almost my exclusive bead rolling tool ( baseball bat) Quote Link to comment

I've been doing bodywork for over 40 years, and that's almost my exclusive bead rolling tool ( baseball bat) When it comes to rolling fenders I´m as newbie as it gets lol but I´m also a maniac so if I´m gonna do it myself I can take ages to get it done right ( I´ve seen a couple of videos I know that you have to go slowly and you have to warm up the paint so it doesnt crack) I haven´t decided yet I mean I could do it when I have to do the paint job but the shop is working slower than I thought, they are figuring out how to set up the electric steering wheel ...

mhub91 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 No, I did not have ZX stuff on my A10. Cut springs. My B210 is fully "built" adjustable suspension. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 No, I did not have ZX stuff on my A10. Cut springs. My B210 is fully "built" adjustable suspension. Interesting. I had considerable poke (at least 1/2"?) until swapping in ZX struts... Quote Link to comment
Dmb3sge Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 No, I did not have ZX stuff on my A10. Cut springs. My B210 is fully "built" adjustable suspension. That may explain the poor handling :rofl: ... how does your B210 handle ? Quote Link to comment
Dmb3sge Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 That may explain the poor handling :rofl: ... how does your B210 handle ? Clearance on the fenders wasn´t that bad after all, obviously the fenders must be rolled but not as much as I thought ! Quote Link to comment
Dmb3sge Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Interesting. I had considerable poke (at least 1/2"?) until swapping in ZX struts... Hey guys !! the car is about to go to the paint shop ( or at least that is what I´ve been told lol ) and while I was reading some of the impressive builds in the forum I saw I few comments talking about specific rust points in the 510, so I was wondering if there is anything like that in the A10 ?? my other question is about the headlights ( I´m planning to install HID lights+ projectors ) does my headlights are the same as the ones in the 720 ??

chevtruknut Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Look closely at the top of the arch on rear wheel well openings and the very back of the rocker panels. Mine had minor rust in both places, car was from Montana originally so pretty rust free ( spots were about 1*2".) Quote Link to comment

mhub91 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 2 door fast backs or "coupes" are pretty damn rare indeed.... Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Awesome,thats what I have! Good luck keep us posted. I'll probably have a few extra parts, and if you ever run across a good drivers door let me know please Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 To Datsunfreak; you can see on Metatron's new ride where to look for rust. Mine had all the same areas. I forgot to mention the bottom of the doors. Metatron I hope you enjoy working on it. I wish I could find how many were imported, they're a bear to get parts for. Quote Link to comment

Great thanks a lot guys ! unless there is another especific spot I´m gonna be fine, my doors have just a little bit of rust btw another point where I found rust is where my slave and master were probably cuz some leakinig that ate the paint. Does anybody know where I can get a side mirror like mine ( online if possible ) ? It´s round similar to those in the old 911 http://www.ebay.com/itm/PORSCHE-VINTAGE-STYLE-SPORTY-NEW-PAIR-STAINLESS-STEEL-DOOR-MIRROR-LH-RH-2-PCS-/282581932716?epid=535294449&hash=item41cb321aac:g:DxMAAOSwXtRZctyF&vxp=mtr but those are not a perfect match hey nice coupe! I´ve never seen anything like that here ! Quote Link to comment

I´ve never seen anything like that here ! nobody knows ???? :confused: :confused: So well here are some pictures of what it is been done to car before going to the paint shop huge difference between the stock rotors and the new ones and of course I couldn´t skip the mishimoto radiator ! I got a great deal on this one, it´s used but in pretty good shape Quote Link to comment
chevtruknut Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 What are the rotors off of? Huge difference. Can't wait to see the completed paint Quote Link to comment

Can't wait to see the completed paint those are from a wilwood kit for ... i dont remember for which car but those are 11"+ 4 pistons calipers that´s why I need to ride on 15" ... probably it´s gonna take a little bit more time to get the paint done cuz I´m still trying to decide if I Swap an ae86 rear end or an S13 but I´m running out of $$ so we will see Quote Link to comment
