Sick stance. Love it

Yeah that stance is ridiculous. Something for me to aim for...

Did you take it for a drive?
How did it go?

How low will it go now Dan interesting to see

Yeah took it for a blast, was blown away at the difference it's made so far, i didn't know a 510 could be that responsive, corner that well and perform like it did at that height. That's with he damper set at fully soft, camber wound right out into the Negitives, no wheel alignment at all not even a quick DIY one, and runnning really really shit 175-60 tyres (soon to be toyo T1R 195-45s) oh and still no sway bar up front haha. Will be interesting to see what it's like after I finish the front setup.

Oh at the mo it's sitting even with the rear (gaurd gap is deceptive on 510s as there rear gaurd is lower down the body than the front) the front crossmember is under 100mm, sumps sitting around 40mm or maybe less at the moment ( new lifted and winged sump is user construction by nick m) then I'll fit the lower profile, wider tyres to the 8.5" sharks I have for up front and adjust it down till in happy. Thing with 14s on the front with factory gaurds is it's harder to fill them out than the more commonly used 15-17" people run on 510s. I wouldn't have it any other way tho.



Bonnets almost at knee height now lol it's sitting about an inch lower than it was at before adjusties went it

Need to get back to & finish intercooler&intake setup upgrades.

You have probably given us more updates in this past week than you have ever in the past 3 years.
Hoping to be a Sign of the future

Yeah iv started to get motivated to work on it a bit lately, hopefully it will be ready for the dyno in a month or so. All going to plan that is.

Much be because spring is looming!

Decided I should teach my self to alloy TIG seeing I'm learning stainless at course, so i can weld togther my own intercooler piping when its good enough, so cut up more lobster sections to practice on, here's the first proper go at joining thin intercooler pipe together, will do few more until get consistent looking beads then do the intercooler sections I've got tapped together ready to weld i think
