b210in Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 well i have been wrenching on my little beater and here are the results: the stock carburator is now gone. in its place is a weber like carb "motorcraft" that i pulled from a 75 mercury capri, that came stock with it. i bought a new adapter and made a throttle bracket out of old carb parts. man what a difference a carb makes. it pulls really hard now in the first two gears. a major dramatic improvement. if you have a stock bee, with the stock carb it kind of takes a little long to reach the redline, it feels like the engine is bogged down, the weber totally changes the first and second gear feel, if feels like it pulls faster and harder. i also had a k and n filter left over from a vw sciorroco and some roofing tin to make a box. i mounted the box on the old base of the weber carb and here are the results. it looks a little ghetto but it works, i will be routing some cold air soon. some deep dish love for your baby! the iconic box of cigarettes shot. I also spent a lot of time lowerin the car. i took the third leaf from the stock leaf spring pack and put it on the top facing down, and left the other springs intack. this lowered the rear about three inches. i then started cutting coils in the front one at a time. i ended up lifting the car and cutting coils on the car about three times until i got it to where the pictures are now. i cleaned up and re painted the (JDM) enkies i found at the junkyard and slapped some 165 45 15 federal formoza's in the front and 195 50 15's in the rear. the 195's are just too big for the front on 15 x 7 inch whee.s the wheel wells needed a little bit of inner lip trimming to make them fit. but so far so good, no rubbin. the car's personality has totally changed, this a little loud mean runt. i love it. lowering the car cost nothing, just time and patience.

vgwagon Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 We need some 360 degree full car pictures. That the sweetest b210 I've seen. Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 denver, there are two small screws holding the air cleaner on the side bonvo, yah, beater is not the right word now, i actually refer to this car as my little bee. the pictures make the car look really nice, if i showed you guys a picture of the interrior you would probably change your mind. the inside looks like two pitbulls were fighting in there for years. vgwagon, i will shoot some more cooler pics with my neighbors white 510 later.

CharlieBucket Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 great work, i have to lower mine now! i have been considering the webere for a while now. i need one for sure. so bottom leaf out and flipped to the top? is that all it took? Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) great work, i have to lower mine now! i have been considering the webere for a while now. i need one for sure. so bottom leaf out and flipped to the top? is that all it took? here's the breakdown. the stock leaf pack has four leafs, the longest leaf (the first leaf) is at the top. if you just take the bottom leaf (smallest in length, leaf 4) and flip it over and put it on top, you get about a one inch drop, give or take 1/4 inch. if you take the just the third leaf (second smallest or leaf three) and flip it over and mount it top of leaf 1, you will get what you see in the pictures. one drawback to this set up is that you will only have about 1 1/2 inches of travel before the bubber bumpstop hits the frame. this saturday i will be tweaking the leaf spring yet again to see if i can just get another inch in the rear. it's really that easy. bucket, with the lowering i have, i was riding around with 195 50 15's on 15 x 6 with 4 inches of backspacing. You flakes are exactly the same size. the front rubbed a little when i would go into some steep driveways. if you guys need some more details let me know.

Guest jaimesix Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Very cool. Looks awesome. I had a B210, and I know B210s rock. Most people have never seen one in shape. Congratulations!!!:) A set of non US bumpers is what is needed to complete the picture. Get ADDCCO sway bars, made my B210 ride like a Corvette, incedible cornering power. I love it. I will get another B210, sometime, mine parted away in unsavory circumstances....B210s are cool!!!! I agree with Bonvo, beater is no longer applicable, this car is gorgeous.
