hey, was just reffered to the site by chris holstrom( youthpastor)...

couple years back i picked up a datsun 510 from jarod hancock of j-rods customs fame after sellin my 510...right when i saw it, i knew it was right up my alley, i am a import guy, but love domestic powerplants..

jarod has set this car up very nicely, 4 link, coilovers, metalwork etc.

is a very very good base to start with...

as the years past it killed me to watch this car sit as i finished or started a few other projects, i came close to selling it on 4 occasions, but backed out everytime knowing i would not be able to do something like this again w/o killin my bank account...

now i have sold pretty much every other car i had, and am down to this one project now...so the green light is on and i will finish it and drive it to the goodguys show next year...

anyways, the car is set up for a ford motor...i have built a forged 306 motor for a twin turbo application, hav eseveral other parts for it, just need to start some assembly...plans are to do a mustang 2 front suspension, twin 60-1's , dfi v7 management and whatever else is needed...should be afun lil car when done...

i am mainly building this car for shock value...i wanted something i could take to the goodguys hot rod show and not be the typical car seen there...

sorry for the long intro, but that is most of it...

thanks
eddie

love the datsun!

[youthpastor]

Welcome...if you guys need speedo work or cluster work done- this is your guy:D -Chris

VERY COOL!! I am a huge fan of the 510s. I had one years ago that I used to run down at the Boeing Space Center in Kent. They used to do SCCA autocross events there in the back parking lot. (very long time ago) Mine was a 4door with the back doors welded shut and a wide body kit on it. Full cage, no interior. Not quite street legal, but didn't run it too much outside the track. I used to piss off Porche guys on 405 on occasion. LOL!! I ran a Datsun motor though. Your twin turbo V8 should really make it fly! Nice looking Jetta too.

Welcome to the forum, and as Chris said, if I need any cluster or speedo work done I'll be in touch!
Keep the pics coming!:thumbsup:

killin me!!! that is why i am building the 510, just gonna be a tire smokin machine, make up for all those years i wasted on fwd stuff!!!

the jetta was fun though, went low 11's at 133+...not bad for a 2.0l 4cyl!!

[FastCat431]

Welcome to the madness. Love the Datsun. I used to have a 260Z with a Ford Boss 302 and T5. Can you say scary fast, I thought so.

the only thing that would make me sell this car now after having it for so long w/o touching it, would be a clean 1960 starliner....other than that, i NEED to finish this car.....

Nice times with the Jetta!

I imagine the 510 with a twin turbo small block Ford will eat tires for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Time to buy stock in your favorite tire company!:unibrow:

I appreciate your statement above about needing to finish THIS car!!!

thats it.. i remember.. used to be a four door..

yea man.. i went from 110 hp 2.0 to 600 hp LS7.. and as a daily a 475 hp 383.

nothing like it..

and unlike the vw scene at least if you throw in wide tires in the rear you wont get the "why are you running wide tires in the rear.. its a fwd car?!"

[spooled]

yeah no problem, i am always here right off i-5 in tacoma area...

i run tacoma speedometer, right off of hwy 512 and steele street....send me a message next time you are around, i'd love to chat for bit...hard to find anyone that is into this pro-touring thing...it is new to me but immediatly appealed to me once i started seeing the cars being built this way...

[70rs]

I am close to you also. And my parents live off the Canyon exit on 512. I know exactly which building you are in on Steele st. I'll stop in next time I am down there.
I live just north of Everett.
And I am glad you and Mr Vengeance came over from the wrong side. Where they only run half a motor to the wrong end of the car.:rofl: :rofl:

Ok, I'm kidding. But glad you guys made the jump.:cheers:

[awr68]

[aussiebj]
