since the 510 is going to undergo surgery soon I bought it a present.

Decided the rotas aren't good enough for this bad boy, have to go with something OG :cheers: Hopefully this car will be looking decent enough to show for Nopi this year, if it can get finished and painted by the end of august.

wheels are 15x6.5 and 15x7 riverside's

Can't wait to get this whole project underway...

motor, suspension, wheels, exhaust, brakes everything being overhauled

on a budget of course :lmfao:

You're not going to do shiit, Chris. Get that damn thing rolling so we can all ride out. This "movement" needs all the old school power it can get, homeless. Check out the meet pics I and a couple of others have posted, man. Later, QD.

It drives fine now. It's the body that needs love. And I can't meet with you guys because you are all far away and I don't have a 5th gear. It would take me days to get there. :(

And damn you Kevin! LOL

It's cool. I was looking at some Old School Advans. :ninja:

This guy had one in his Sentra on dyno day and put up numbers close to my SR20DET (albeit stock). When it hit teh V-Tack it would make your ears bleed... Awesome:goodjob:

Yeah, nothing like having the pedal all the way to the floor, in high gear and doing a blazing 75mph (80 if you have a tailwind). And should an SUV driver not see you and cut you off you have that cutesy little "meep meep" horn to defend yourself with:lmfao: I miss my 1200:goodjob:

15" Riversides, Dude where did you find those? I don't know what cuz was trying to say when he said "cool wheels, but everybody rocks those wheels" WTF I have only seen two cars in Atlanta with Riversides, 1 was a 510 back in 1990, a guy named Robert had some on a silver 2-door, and he moved to Cali in like 1993. The other car was a TE Corolla I saw maybe 2 years ago. Good choice, RARE wheels...Smoothies?... Viva Puerto Rico!...Rock da Riversides.

I'm a "body lover" lol what does it need? what kind of tranny do you need? I gotta 5-speed maxima tranny, a five speed z-tranny, and maybe I would come off of my dogleg 5-speed if it would get you to drive your car out. (but I kinda got plans for the dogleg) For real I restore Japanese car bodies and also have a lot of parts. Lemme Know.

Interesting. A 5speed would definitely make me want to drive it out more. So would getting the rust off the back of it lol :(

I would never ask anyone to come off a dogleg 5 speed for my car. I don't plan on keeping the L Series in it haha!
