here are the wheels I bought for it. I've had then ages, but it's only just occoured to me that I haven't posted a pic yet.

They came of an S13 in japan. It was a case of being dumb enough to mindlessly surf trademe when I had a few bucks saved up.
Not OS jdm, but they should have no trouble clearing big brakes.

Also scored this for the old girl quite recently. I got a damn good deal off slo_dat.

And with a bit (okay, a lot) of help from our northern friends, I scored this too,

I did indeed Chris. He was frantically apologising for a few wee small things that he wasn't thrilled about. (Wee dings in the sump, and other inconsequental flaws) And I was grinning ear to ear at what a demon deal I had landed. Plus knowing who the previous owner was, I know that it hasn't come out of a drift car, or been owned by some leadfoot Louie that has hit the limiter on every shift.
So BIG thanks to Dan for giving me such a good deal! :mrgreen: :highfive: :dance2: :fire: :beer: :thumbsup: :dance:

If I decide that I don't like them on the 510, I'll just chuck them on my daily. I've already used them on it a few times when I've needed to get new tyres fitted to it's regular wheels.

Nothing to really report sorry. I began making the engine mounts, but where the car is is just too cramped to try working. So I'm not working on it untill I can make a space at the workshop for it. I want to get the engine as low and far back as possible too.
