lookin good i cant wait to see this done...is there an engine?

yep, and mine is all chrome:iceslolan (couldn't help my self)

are you using the stock rotary engine? hehe i put the Tamiyia VG30DETT 300zx Twin Turbo engine in mine. :iceslolan

Does the interiot come all stripped looking like that?

The floor comes looking like it has no carpet. It does come with all seats but I noticed that before you glue in the rear seat, your supposed to put in this panel that is pretty detailed for something that is going to be covered up. So I left out the seats and used a spare racing seat and wheel

who makes that audi TT u have posted?

it's a majesto(spelling?) diecast. I dont think that any1 makes a plastic one

:bigthumb: Nice work

thanks

A: 510's came with a four-cylinder version of the L series engine in the 240-280Z's. Not a rotary. Rotary conversions are just very common for older small cars like the 510.

B: A VG30DETT in a 510??? Show us pics man. That sounds pretty cool.

satsuns.com for the vg and other swaps in 510s

Heres what I am trying to make my 510 model look like I just but some of the supplies today anyone know where i can find weld racings tyle drag wheels?

Weld style drag wheels? Easy. Revell drag kits (like their newer funny cars and Pro Stocks) carry them, as do many of the larger resin casters such as Perry's Resin, Drag Racing Specialties, or The Good Stuff.

Thanks Oct
Drag Racing Specialties sound slike a good one maybe find wheelie bars to. I searched google no luck do you know website for them?
thanks,
John

:sorry: I oopsed with DRS. They're a slot car chassis manufacturer. Don't worry about their product line. But Perry's Resin (if they ever get their product catalog on their new site working) should have what you need.

If not, the wheels you're looking for can be found in Revell Pro Stock kits.

thanks again.

Also does anyone know what would be the easiest way to do the above flames on my 510 kit? I doubt I have skills to hand paint something that small is there a way I can print on that model decal paper and apply them that way?

Thanks,
JOhn

PS where can i purchase reasonable decal paper caus ethe hobby store wanted like 25 bucks give me a break!

im suprised not many ppl have built this kit.

Hey Oct i took your advice I drove out to
http://www.greatlakeshobbies.com/

picked up a spy vs spy funny car and got a good deal the wheels,wheelie bar, and some chutes oh also some fire extinglishers.

Project 510 begins :)

Nope. I can tell you is, it fit like it was made for this kit (I dont have it due to the fact that i crushed it because it didnt want to go together right) still have the 300ZX engine somewhere...

Sweet, another Datto coming through. Why you got wire wheels on a Civic though?

I built that when the model first came out. I figured it would be like the revell ITR and everyone would have it. so, I wanted to be different. Its got hydros and two subs on the rear seat, too:bigthumb:

Oh ok nice, although I still think wires on Civics look out of place it is different and stands out from everyone elses Civics! Good to see you put the juice and some woofers in it aswell.
