benzo Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Here's my '71. Got my wheels and tires on there the other day (SSR Star Formula/Falken Azenis RT615) I do need some real suspension though...in due time. Car is mostly stock with the ol' L16. Have a SU setup waiting to go in. Brought the wheels and fender mirrors back from Japan last month! Jun that is one nice wagon. looks clean. nice elbow grease on the wheels. sort of looks like my wagon in a way. do you go to japan a lot? what place in japan did you get the wheels? I am here now and lurkin around Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I never got around to getting one :blush: did you ever find out if you can get some bigger ones made? started looking/shopping around then got busy and now searching again. What size did were you looking? Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 started looking/shopping around then got busy and now searching again. What size did were you looking? about 25 in wide including the two goons on each side Quote Link to comment

I am here now and lurkin around Thanks Benzo. The wheels were hard work, and to be compared to your wagon is a compliment! I do go to Japan often. I actually got the wheels through Yahoo Japan auctions, and had them shipped to a friend in Tokyo who handled the transaction for me. However you can find 2nd hand wheels in many places; Autobacs 2nd hand goods and Up Garage are 2 places that have used wheels. Where in Japan are you? Quote Link to comment
imtb Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Been a while since I posted. Here is My Space, I have been busy buildng my LZ2.2 liter you can see it in the background. Just about got the engine bay and wiring detailed, getting ready to drop it in. Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 IMTB Wow.. very cool! Your goon is SOO effing clean! :unsure: Quote Link to comment
jun Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 @IMTB: that is really nice! I think that's the original color of what my wagon used to be- if that's the factory color, could you tell me which one it is? I'm debating a repaint and I might make it the original color, it would save me from having to paint the interior on my wagon (paint is in really good condition inside). Now I see why you had extra wagon parts! Quote Link to comment

Now I see why you had extra wagon parts! i found a matching stock color hatch for that very reason! Quote Link to comment

However you can find 2nd hand wheels in many places; Autobacs 2nd hand goods and Up Garage are 2 places that have used wheels. Where in Japan are you? thanks for the compliment. still work in progress but hard for me to keep a car down long as I like to drive it more than work on it. I just got back and usually stay in Chiba at my friends. I did go see rich (goichi) and a fellow friend of his sugata with a super dope 510 resto rod and Masato at refresh 60. you can see pics on my flickr at benzo510 or myspace at garagelife. I did go to the tokyo auto salon and had a good time. picked up some small goods. I do want to go to up garage and autobacs and south-yokohama and star road to find stuff. I may get another 510 orZ car to start autoxing again. the work you did is good on the wheels. it paid off for imtb your wagon is nice and work space is clean. good luck on your work. I hope to work on my garage area to make it a nice work and lounge space. that is work in progress. Quote Link to comment
jun Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Benzo, Refresh 60 is the dream garage for 510 fans...Masato-san was super cool and had just about everything. The fender mirrors on my wagon are the ones that came off the red 2 door from his shop. This wagon was out there being worked on as well. next time I go, hopefully I won't have to bring wheels back home, that was a pain. The price justified the trouble though. I'd like to time my next trip so I can visit the New Year's Meet. I did auto salon a few times, that is also a mind blower! I can never come back from Japan empty handed. It's always RC cars, keirin bike parts, and car parts. Wife was not pleased having a 14" SSR wheel in her suitcase! Quote Link to comment
imtb Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 hey jun, it is the stock green color. torelain green #911 just enamel paint. The butter scotch goon is super cool . I even like the bench seat. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 the reflection illusion is this picture is awesome!!!even the angle! Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Any chance you have more shots of this rear hatch that show the JDM trim/emblems. That's soooo nice. Quote Link to comment

I always go to see him even if I don't buy anything. sometimes hard to buy stuff as not all items fit for US cars and also do not want to carry so much back and prices are not always cheap. If I can bring back wheels I would as I am looking for more. I have a slight fascination for wheels. I am like you can't come back empty handed. I have been into bikes but did not look for much. i was trying to get some NJS bars for my friend but you can get that stuff here. My wife was with me at refresh 60 and understands more about what I do with cars and the fascination with them. she wanted masato's sedan in front. haha. that pic you posted was cool as wagons/vans are rare in japan. nice to see that. do you live in so cal?I have been wanting to make the JCCS as i can never break off to do so.
