The 510 Realm

That does seem very odd. I can confirm that the geometry of all 510 and 610 rare control arms are the same. There are subtle difference in the shock mounts on 68 and 69 arms, otherwise they are geometrically the same. As for your alignment issue, this is odd and there is plenty of adjustment on any ...

It was great to have the bunch that made the time to join. Of course 510 Day at my place will continue every year. Ring that it was held on a Friday this year really helped the turnout. My international student volunteered to cook the burgers and hot dogs for everyone. Over 60 burgers with the fixin...

Glad to see new life, and new parts on the bench.
I look forward to hearing about that first drive as well. Glad you came around, and are still in the game!

I need to get working on my race car too. Even too busy with other projects.

Thanks, Keith, for the update back in October. I had hoped to catch you at the 510 Christmas party. Wouter's new toy is interesting. Thanks for the photos as always. I was ready to race the 510 this last October weekend of the year; the car was loaded on the trailer, and spares and tools were all pa...

Happy New Year everyone.
And to the local PNW gang, I look forward to some road trips this year.

Agreeing with all above, very glad to hear you’re going to keep the car and enjoy it. Looking forward to that “first drive” post
Happy New Year.

Wow, that’s some major surgery going on there with the floor pan. A good friend had a 2 door with an NA rotary, downdraft Webber and 5 spd. It was a fun car, and with the downdraft, it sounded crazy rowing through the gears. Good memories there. Coming back to your build, are you sure that you want ...

Well Keith, I tuned up the Bronze quite a bit for Driver training in the latter half of 2021. It got maybe 2 hours use this past year, but it shouldn’t take much to get it back into shape. I’m ready for a good driving season - good to have you back!
Lights, maybe?

Now that sounds like a cool project many of us would want to see, please keep us posted, and send pictures.

This is a very interesting discussion. A good friend spent the weekend with me as he was doing a work upgrade course here in the lower mainland this weekend, and it’s funny because we were discussing his one and only Comp crank I have ever put my hands on. This is a 1600 unit, 8CW’s as mentioned. It...

For engine installation, I have done both but would agree that installing the engine and trans together on the crossmember and then into the car from below is way less stressful! I’ve used both a hoist or I have made a big years ago that bolts into the front bumper mounts. Without a hoist and with t...

It’s likely because you were a new usher and you fist need to be cleared by admin. It’s just a manual step we need to do to stop mass spamming that everyone else don’t need to see.

You’re cleared now and good to go.

Geez, I haven’t updated this list in a long time. But I added you car. I presume you have a 2dr?

Jeff, thanks for keeping us updated on this project - I’m still following

Thanks! It's the only panel I've gotten from them but I have no complaints. It arrived quickly, was very securely packaged, it's not flimsy at all and it fit well. The only thing that would make it better is if the primer was a weld-through type. Rush, this is an awesome thread, I so look forward t...
