SR20DET 510

Thanks, I gave him a call today and he really cool to chat with, I think I am going to have him build my roll cage in the near future to begin this race car build.

Thanks for the info, that 510 is awesome, not flare guy but a wide body looks wicked. Yeah I don't really want to spend crazy money and get spanked, so I think time attack and hill climb would be best but I am going to look at NASA, SCCA and what other race bodies are out there.I know they are always adding classes, I would like to be different and run a 510, I could always start off with the SR and go back to an L series if I wanted to run some vintage class but that might be better just to build another car for that style of racing altogether.

Yeah that is what I'm thinking, maybe just do some open events road type racing.

My mistake, I also posted this in the project section. So, I'm looking for information and some input from fellow 510 owners that have built legit race cars. I have 2 510's, both 2 door sedans. One is a 1973 bone stock roller, its very solid 99% rust free. The other I just bought is a 71 highly modified, SR20DET powered, rust free, this one will be mostly likely the street car. I also have a stock S15 SR20DET engine and 6speed trans. What I'm thinking of doing is pulling the built S13 SR out of the 71 and dropping in the stock S15 SR. That would give me basically a fun street car with 250hp (S15). The S13 makes ( or should make once tuned) 450hp, not really a street motor. Anyways, my question really is, has anyone built a SR powered 510 race car and if so what classes have you raced. I'm assuming it would have to be some modified class (since it will have an SR). I would like to leave the door open to road, time attack and hill climb racing. Is it possible to be competitive with a 510 that is SR powered in any of these events? I don't need to set any records but would like to hold my own, biggest obstacle I see is controlling 450hp (can be tuned down) with a light short wheel based car. Now please, all opinions and suggestion are welcome, just don't need to hear, go L series or buy another car. It would be great to hear from people that have raced these cars and what I should watch out for and how these cars really act when pushed. Thanks again

Looking good, whats a media blast cost these days?
