davydavidoff Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 So this has been started for almost a year now, but just decided to start this build thread. Starting with a '71 goon that was parked since 1984, had the usual rocker rust, but overall, a great specimen. If I can find the pics, I'll update later with the pre-stripped car. For now though, it's getting a full cage done by Greg at SloDrive Racing, who is also doing the fabrication work to put the IRS out of a sedan into the back.Planning on a SR20DET S15 for a powerplant, but we'll see as that day comes closer.As the swap progresses I'll update with more pictures and we'll see how we decide to finally mount it up under there. I'll add more of my ideas and dreams as I have time, but for now enjoy the small sample and check back often!Cage pics, still going to put in diagonals towards the back, but it's almost there!All mounted to the floor! So nice.The day these came was like Christmas all over again. Front and rear coil-overs from TechnoToyTuning and the bump steer spacers.Well isn't that just b-e-a-utiful. Quote Link to comment

DARIN 510 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Can you tell me what the part number is on the kyb shocks ? I'm trying to figure out what car they are for. Quote Link to comment
troyt Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Nothing like an IRS, caged, red wagon, most excellent! Looks like your fabricator has got it wired, but let me know if you have any questions about the IRS install, I added rear coil-overs to mine also. The write-up is in the Dime Quarterly, Vol 11, Issue 4. Quote Link to comment

I'll take a look if I get a chance, the car and parts aren't in my shop at the moment, but they're from technotoytuning if you want to ask them! Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I can try that. I've called ground control and they will not tell you. They told me if I wanna find out then I have to buy it. $600 just to find out a number fuck that. So I was just figuring that t3 wouldn't tell me either. But I'll give them a call and see what they say. If not if you would be so kind to tell me the part # that would be most appreciated. Quote Link to comment

Gabe is super nice about helping people out. 1 Quote Link to comment

Super X Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Sweet wagon! What are your plans for it once completed? Can you tell me what the part number is on the kyb shocks ? I'm trying to figure out what car they are for. Can't remember the p/n but they are from a Camaro. Quote Link to comment
davydavidoff Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Sweet wagon! What are your plans for it once completed? Just as a driver! I have other 510's to daily, but this will be the fun wagon :) There's a real nice track, High Plains Raceway, not too far from me, I'll definitely be playing out there sometimes.

DARIN 510 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 T3 wouldnt give me that part number. He said we don't give out that information. I don't think they are for a camaro because the camaro have a metal dust tube and all these other brands (T3,ground control,)don't. Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Why does your rear crossmember hang so low? Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Why does your rear crossmember hang so low? That's only an inch or so lower than a stock 510 sedan in relation to the rocker panels........ .. the camber will be mad without some of Byron's adjustable brackets How did you secure the rear crossmember mounting studs??? ...... do they thread into the baseplates for the main-hoop??? and are the differential studs threaded into the square tubing??? ....... . Nice work!!! .... gives me ideas for my IRS projects Quote Link to comment

I don't think they are for a camaro because the camaro have a metal dust tube and all these other brands (T3,ground control,)don't. Those Camaro ones work for the stock solid rear end i think? But, the p/n is not visible anywhere on the assembly.It's probably covered by the ground control setup, which I didn't have time to take off to look further. Sorry!

Nice work!!! .... gives me ideas for my IRS projects I'll get more detailed pics up once I get a chance, but the rear crossmember mounting studs are just through the floor with all the stock hardware exactly like the sedans, just had the cut the holes. Most likely we will weld in plates so there's more beef for them to grab. As for the differential studs, the square tubing was actually c-channel, and theres a plate welded to the bottom and the studs just have a nut on top that is accessible. Again, more pics soon to show that! Just cut some rear fenders out of a 2dr and they should be grafted in this week for the coilovers to attach to something that makes sense. Quote Link to comment
