datto510 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Someone told Mitsu wheels of some sort. Not sure:confused: They sort of look like Ronal Turbos that have been painted black. Either way, they look sweet. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 what kind of intake manifold is that? very trick looking piece! Quote Link to comment
heirfaus Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) what kind of intake manifold is that? very trick looking piece! My research has shown it's a 1973 510 OEM JDM EFI manifold. When imported it was thrown away and a carb was slapped on it. Edited December 15, 2008 by heirfaus Quote Link to comment

heirfaus Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 After a lot of switching and changing this is the brake setup I ended up with. s11 front struts, hubs, rotors, 80's Toyota 4 piston truck caliper. Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 yep ;) with the bottom water passage and flipped upside down? :D Iv got one for my L28et and moded it to fit the stock linlage Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Not sure. I still can't find my way around there. I'm about a mile west from Trader Joes. thats not far from avas coffe shop where we met on saturday thats not to far from me Quote Link to comment
heirfaus Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 with the bottom water passage and flipped upside down? :D Iv got one for my L28et and moded it to fit the stock linlage Yes it is flipped. I did this so I could use a regular throttle cable. The manifold I have was missing the the long shaft to connect the throttle. I think I pulled and modded a pedal from an 810 to make it work. Also, move my throttle of the ground so it was doubly good. thats not far from avas coffe shop where we met on saturday thats not to far from me Sweet Makes it A LOT easier for me:) Quote Link to comment
heirfaus Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Well I've been wanting to put on some ZXT snowflakes for a while. I bought a set with caps and lugs for 150 and I bought some really old unused BFGoodrich gForce sport 205-55-15. Fronts fit nicely with a little bat work :) I couldn't get them to fit in the rear so I took a trip down to Luke's and he hit it with the Acetylene torch and beet on it with a hammer. Worked out good :D Luke at the hammer Got a little hot. Paint burst into flames :mellow: All done, no rubbing and LOTS of suspension travel :cool: Edited March 2, 2009 by heirfaus Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 idk what to think they look almost to big maybe its just the style Quote Link to comment
heirfaus Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 idk what to think they look almost to big maybe its just the style Yeah I'm not sure if it's the tires or the colors that make t look really big. I have seen plenty of 16's that look great. I plan to drop it about another half inch and we'll see what that does. I think it will really sweeten up when I eventually get to painting the car and wheels and throw some lower profile tires on. Quote Link to comment

Phlebmaster Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 So, does that really make a difference? I like the kicked back picture. lol Quote Link to comment
heirfaus Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 So, does that really make a difference? I like the kicked back picture. lol Well I haven't driven it yet. But I think it will make a HUGE difference. The rear panels that have the second skin and poly fil sound like a big tin drum when you knock on them. After installing the stuff they don't really reverberate, and now it has a deep deep tone when before it was really high pitched. Next is the carpet padding and then the carpet. Quote Link to comment
