New World Datsuns...

So Finally getting around to start a thread for this.. I bought this dime and this was my very first dime, I had wanted one for about 13-15 years atleast with the only intentions of building it into a track car. To replace my 610 race car that had been a race car for the past 18 years before I got it... and was in poor shape but held its own on the track. That 610 got me 2 rookie of the year, at 2 different tracks, 2 2nd overall in points for the season, at 2 tracks, and one 3rd overall for the season. Along with 3 trophy dash wins, and 2 main wins along with several heat wins. And lots of top 3 finishes... not bad for a complete under dog at the track, I was under powered and over weight by a lot, not to mention 40+ year technology compared to my competition. here is a pic of it in action



And when I first brought it home



Anyways back to my 510 these first picks were taking Jan 3 2012





















These pics where all taking the night I picked it up, Banner went with me up to Lacy WA to pick it up and help me load it.

Complaining the whole way back about all the rear glass being duct taped in.

More pics to follow

Very, very cool!

Schweeeeeeeeeeeettt GreaseMonky !

Will be checking in with this.

Will be watching this progress too.

Dude.... it was just taped in! Lol
This does get alot better too!

So these next pics where a few days later when I got around to cleaning it out and checking it all out... it had some neat things, and some outdated go fast suspension stuff, such as coilovers with I think Volvo/porche calipers, ADJ LCA, rear cross member Adj, rear swaybar, weight jacks in the rear, brake bias, and some basic cage work, but not enough to meet the rules where I race... anyways enough of the chit chat, and on to the pics

^^^ But it stayed in even coming down I5 at 85mph on the trailer in the rain, And yes what banner said it gets better, atleast I like to think so

So now we jump to Feb, of 2012 when I moved and got a decent shop... here is some pics of moving a few of the Datto's including the Dirt Track Dime

The rear k-member on the 510

Looks like a plenium,with some more toe mod too?

What's up with those 1200's?

Bring one of those to trade for this 620?

I only haz the white one now which is my Daughters, the blue and white one was for my son, but he decided he wanted a 620, so I sold that one to Dave, and got him a 620

The inner control arm,has another mod done to it(besides the plenum mod to control arm brackets,that mount to k-member)
Has spherical rod end,also looks like some wild adjustment(looking at the adjuster bolt)

Appears to have a fair amount of toe adjustment(compared to the usual)

Nice man, I dig it. Nice turbovec wheels. I got the same ones, only the wrong lug pattern

Yeah on the 1200. I'd have to see them closer. But they look like mine. If so, they are Appliance Turbovec rims...
