Icehouse Posted April 14 Author Report Share Posted April 14 update! Zero stink (okay still the smell of baby oil slightly from the smoke machine) wow I wish I would have known how to fix this 20 years ago. Such a nicer car to drive. I have a cut up quarter panel in the back yard. Here is a picture of where the stink access the cabin. You can see the cutouts for the vent it he C pillar and into the cabin. Now to install a stereo. Been driving it a lot. Still a list of items to fix. This is the next project. This collage intern at work got a "new" car. Pretty cool guys are into old stuff still! His buddy bought a Tesla haha. 3 Quote Link to comment

Electric power steering from a toyota Pruis I think the same unit was in some other models. It's cool because if it doesn't get a signal it will just go into limp mode at half power which is perfect for a 510 with wide tires. 2 Quote Link to comment

I have finalized the design but want to run it before offering them. That locking nut was the final piece to the puzzle. imho idler arms always seem to be an afterthought on production cars. The 620 stock design is terrible. 5 Quote Link to comment
