Re: Subaru R160 vs R180, what are the limits of each differential?

If you find an open diff with the gearing you want, the swap over of the LSD unit is pretty straight forward.

A 510 in NYC? I hope it's well parked, I had my first stolen from me there in '83.

As far as I remember, they just use a very flat headed sheet metal screw....but I can't remember very far. Nice parts, did they come with the rubber trim too??

Re: ASHTC510 4door project

Bought my 3rd 510 (a wagon) up on Federal Hill in Providence when I was at RISD in 1988. Where in "Rhodent Island" are you?
Let see those pics when you are able.

Re: Powerland aka Camby replacement

What's up with that stepside 521, is that an original bed style? Really cool.
