you guys think i should pick one up. i can drop a rotary in there and still have a fun, fast, rear wheel drive car while taking the kids and wife out. the only minus is that its not a real 7 but it has a 13b in there. any suggestions will be appreciated. i was also think a AE86 but i dont wanna go pistons.

510s are ok in my book. in either boinger or rotary state.

if you find one rotted out or being parted, my dad could use the front suspension for his anglia project.

ill let u know. im looking for one w/ a decent body and doesnt matter if it runs or not. if it does thats better cause i can hold off on dropping the 13b in there and not have to rush things. this time i wanna do things right. try www.510again.com they got a lotta parts there. im gonna check out a car i found on there this weekend

510's are very cool cars. They still kick butt in Production class racing and have done well in pro rally (long time ago).



The only problem is that you have to make the rear suspension very stiff to get it to handle due to bogus semi-trailing arm rear suspension. Then it is too stiff to put lots of power down, This is not a big problem, just be prepared when you try to lay down 200+ hp.



BTW - did I say it would be and AWSOME car?

if what you always wanted was a 510, then get it. specially if the price is right. youll regret it later if you dont.
