Just took me all my lunch and then some to get through both threads........... Can't wait to see this at Canby!! Thanks man, i cant wait to get it on the road. Alec (the painter) stopped by today, hes been having issues with his booth and hes got one car ahead of mine thats gotta get done first. He said at the least 2 weeks, at the most 4 weeks.... and probally 4 days of work left on my car. Thats crampin my deadline quite a bit so i guess ill have to stop procrastinating on getting it back from paint and start getting other parts of the car movin....especially if i wanna make canby.. 1 Quote Link to comment

spudly13 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Dif spacers, top or bottom? Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I put them on the bottom. With a low car you ideally want the diff to be as high as possible to help with half shaft angularity. Ideally though, you use them to adjust the angle of the input shaft to match that of the transmission output shaft. Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Got some small stuff done. including but not limited to, fitting the rear tailights, trunk seal lip work, trunk latch work, fitting the front valance, fitting the airdam to the valance, stripping apart the ka, got it painted, eliminated a bunch of stuff, gotta pull the head and do valve seals, then reassemble with new gaskets and seals. 3 Quote Link to comment

Talkin with a friend he says most of the time they dont work...... the rear doors open and close no problems edit: and actually, it would be pretty hard to make it so the door jams interfere with the door itself.... 1 Quote Link to comment
jimmy billy Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Ok cool. Im tryin to figure out how to make my car low without baging it. I live in bc so i cant go as low as your car and i dont think i can get low enuf by cuting my coils. I took them out to see how low it would go on bump stops and the rear does go low but the front doesnt look togo as low. Removing the bump stops will give me some room in the rear with a coil but i havnt figured out a way to get it lower in the front. Changing to the mr2 inserts only lowers it a bit but i still want a coil up front....any sugestions??? Quote Link to comment

There's a billion threads on lowering a 510 without the use of bags. Nice work as always Casey. Hopefully you make your deadline and roll this thing out in time. Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hard to tell from the pics. $100 for a runner, $200-300 for a pretty nice one, $300+ for a minty one. 1 Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 For the bumper id probably only do $50 or so Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think 125-150 should be enough to get it off the man. Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 I offered him 125, see what he says. 1 Quote Link to comment
