'71 521, salvage title tho... $2500 http://fresno.craigslist.org/cto/4457743019.html

They're saveable for sure, but I bet you could find one in a better condition than that. I lived near where this car is for sale and the cars that I've seen in that condition are complete rustbuckets. Almost mistook them for an old VW :rofl:

I have the SSS dual hitachi carbs on a 1600cc, my car recently is having trouble starting and I have reason to believe the carbs are leaking. Had to loosen my idle screw a ton to get my rpm's up 500 to get a steady idle, then my 510 won't start now, sounds like it's starving of fuel. Not quite sure what's wrong but before I dive in I'm curious on how much a rebuild kit would be on my carbs?? Any input is appreciated. Also: I plan on doing an engine swap of some sort, is the 1600 a decent engine for an early Z car/ 2-door 510?

Love your dime man, can't wait to see how it pans out

whoops, sorry boys. Didn't take time to look over 'em

Damn, lovin the red 620, is it on this forum?

Do any of you guys know if the light housing is directly in front of the radiator? Curious if you could push the lights back without having to worry about taking away room in the engine bay

Has anyone tried to do a recessed headlight setup behind the grill? Shown here on a charger

If I were to install a mustang II front end with some modifications wouldn't it improve the handling as well as the quality of the ride though? I'm pursing this project as more of a learning experience, that being said I'm not that concerned about how much $$$ it'll cost or decrease the appeal for my car.

Hmmm.... I'm wanting to put a better system on front/rear to reduce road noise and provide a smoother ride, what would happen if I put a miata/mustang II front end on my 510 with a multi-link like Supra510 has here http://community.ratsun.net/topic/58327-2jz-wagon-gets-a-3-link/ And I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be an issue but I'm thinking of doin a little bit of camber down the road

I read as many posts as I could before I posted this topic and went on other forums to see what they had to say, a bunch mentioned that the MacPherson system puts a lot of the shock into the body, creating a lot of noise. There were a few people on here that still weren't satisfied even with new shocks from 280z's. A couple mentioned performance downsides, (to be honest I'm not that concerned about that) I was more just curious about the ride quality the double wishbone or multi-link had to offer.

I've done some research and the MacPherson suspension system on the 510's isn't the best in regards to performance and quality of the ride. I was just wondering if you could put a double wishbone (Miata NA maybe?) or multi-link suspension in a 510 with some custom fab, just not sure if the new system would fit or even be practical to put in. Again just thinking out loud, so don't crucify me if I'm completely wrong :confused: :confused:

Wow, wish I would have waited around to buy a 510. That one's in great condition, and a good price.
