Apex N1 Eb ay knockoff, which still needs to be rewelded about 2-3 in. farther back as well as 5 in. to the left

Finally got the muffler welded.



Future plans for the car include upgrading to 280z disc brakes, adjustable coilovers, adjustable sway bars, swap a KA24DE or SR20DET (leaning more toward the KA right now; better MPG as well as more power compare to my current L20B and considerably cheaper than an SR), a BRE style front lip, and a Subaru R-160 LSD to name a few


Update (4/3/09): The synchros in 1st and 2nd gear have been dead for sometime now, and 3rd is going out now too. So this project now spends most of its days garaged, until I can actually afford a new transmission.

Thanks for rating my S15, I love your 510!! I've only seen one in the flesh but they are so nice and yours is shaping up to be a fantastic one... The SR idea is a great one but what about an L28 bored out to 3.0L on ITB's!!! haha, that would be fantastic. A friend of mine has one in his 240Z and it sounds epic

BRO, I really like your 510! Synchros are pretty cheap and not so hard to change. Get that back on the road!
