Bob3 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I got my tires from onlinetires.com. It was a great deal. The only thing I have to say about this company is don't be in a hurry. It took two weeks to get them, but is was worth it. I drove to town today in the MX520! Here are a few pics I took at the liquor store. Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 This is my favorite vehicle in the world.........:fu: If I had a million dollars and could buy anything.... I would buy this truck......and never paint it......maybe a satin clear coat But seriously.....my only complaint about this truck was the old wheels stuck out too far.......but now it is perfect.... Bob3 you're my hero.........................................................can we see how low it can go? Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I did a speed odometer check and found that 68 mph indicated is 75 mph actual. It is off by about 10%. So . . . I guess I was going 109 mph when I took this picture! Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) Thats like the opposite of this pic... I was more than likely not quite to the 100 mark due to speedo gear issues... Those gauges look stinkin awesome man! Were you at the track for this pic? I mean....of course you were...and so was I when I took the above picture. Closed course, fully trained professionals, safety measures in place, insurance paid in full.:lol: Oh...let me know about your desire for a 521...I could be serious this time...:blink: And on the Goon...I still know of a really good starter car in Nebraska...been parked for years, fairly straight...400 bucks.Light blue.

I have a datsun 1200 I wanted to do irs on but I ended up using a 85 mazda rx7 gslse rear end. Plan to narrow and 4 link it. What led me to your thread was the irs in the truck. I currently doing my 89 toyota with a 90 240sx irs suspension. Just wanted to say nice work. Quote Link to comment

Bob3 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I did some work on the air dam frame today. It now bolts on ( it hit the trailer when loading ) and I welded in license plate mounts. I rounded the edges too! Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 So....how long before the brake cooling ducts are built and the thing gets skin?? Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm not sure Jester. I'm so happy that I can drive this thing now. Here are a few shots I just took. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 okay....now I'm a fan of the air dam!! The rounded corners made a huge difference!! :) You need to get the skin on there so you can plow the driveway!! Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Or at least a trail to the trailer. Quote Link to comment
