skyblue Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Just finished reading through this entire thread. Nice work man!!! I love your attention to details that really pull the car together as a whole. A sweet little ride that I'm sure I'll look to as inspiration for my green 4dr! I'm here in the east bay as well and I know the streets can be rough! Hope to see this thing in person one day. Thanks! It's a lot of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Its been around a month since I drove Doty. Decided to run some errands with her today. But, she did not want to wake up. About 15 minutes of Several sprays of starter fluid and several cranks and she fired up. I think she's mad at me. lol. Was nice to drive the 510 again. So much fun. As a thank you to her I finally installed a better battery hold down. Need to trim the rod, but other than that I think it looks great! Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 It's that time of the year again. Autocross time. Took her into bustas shop for some light maintenance. -Oil change -Top off fluids -Air cleaner cleaning -Race wheels swap Then as I was under the car I noticed something. The spring cup on the left lower control arm split again. Ugh. Gave it a quick patch job for autocross but I will have to beef it up later. 10,725 miles Quote Link to comment

shacks510 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Glass overflow bottles shattering isn't unheard of. I'm surprised you pass tech with it. I've been using a plastic bottle for over a year because I'm too cheap to spend $60 on something nice, and too lazy to make something. 1 Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 So with my truck breaking down I decided to take the 510 to canby instead. Been doing a little work to get her ready. Flipped tires on the Bassetts. Replaced muffler hanger Got rid of the choke and blocked it off. Also my exhaust broke again so I had to patc it up. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I didn't realize how long it has been since I updated this thread. But, not much has happened. Doty needs some love though. Engine is tired. Tranny is making noises and exhaust keeps cracking. This thread is a mess of broken pics, thanks photosuckit! Went for a little drive with bustanut and hellaerika yesterday and erika took this shot. That's all I have for now guys. 4 Quote Link to comment
