How did I not think of this while spending two days wrestling my KA around..... Now I want to try this. I've been trying to get the transmission and motor mount right since june, I know the feeling! :wink: Yea I still don't like my trans mount.... the T3 crossmember just isn't working for me... Got...

Progress is pretty slow, but it's moving forward! Since I got my OEM 510 mounts and want to use them insted of the chinese crap. I decided to try using spacers as Pista_510 suggested. I estimated 1/2" on both sides would bring the brackets to the correct crossmember width. I just installed them tod...

Missed this early, but I am up in the Boston area. But find my way down in RI and CT from time to time. Don't have many parts I'm willing to part with... stock pilling them for myself hahaha... Parts are definitely harder to come by locally out here, but they are available. Here is a stock pile of p...

Finally got some time to work on the dime. Went down to CT for a few days to take care of some issues. Pulled the engine the reseal the oil pan--- hoping it holds this time... https://farm1.staticflickr.com/971/27049296407_146d5fe58a_z.jpg 20180503_152105 by Devon Mitchell , on Flickr Tried to use t...

Yeah to big for 13's. I might just give up and buy a Wilwood kit from DPracing since my brakes are being shitty right now. What wheels are you planning on running? Ive got the DP racing Wilwood kit that is supposed to clear 13's... but had a hard time finding a 13" wheel that cleared.... Emailed DP...

My setup is - 15x7 Rota RBs +25 offset - 205/50r15 Falken Azenzis Shortened 510 struts - now with T3 coil-over sleeves and Camber plates - Required 10mm spacer and longer studs to clear the strut housing (esentially making the wheel a +15), limited with how low I can drop the spring perch on the coi...

Wow your engine isolators are really stressed. Looks to me like all you need to do is modify the steel engine mount to properly fit the stock 510 isolators sitting in their original stock position on the crossmember. This is what I did for my SR but I did it with everything out of the car. If the d...

Northeast cruse would be fun. Listen, use the Z trans isolator and just shim it until you get your desired trans height. Yeah that poly isolator combined with the engines poly isolators would create a buzz box fer-sure and is what I've always heard. I run the Z trans isolator and stock 510 rubber m...

Thanks for sharing that's awesome. I'm in Southern, NH Danville and live about 45 minutes from Futofab Dave in Dunbarton, NH. When your ready to go pick up parts let me know, maybe we can go up together or I can meet you there. It'll be nice meeting another 510er though there are others in Ma, Main...

I also found that the tranny mount (280zx) made mt KA tranny sit lower than I wanted. Have the chevy poly mount that you are using on the shelf but really don't want the extra NVH. How are you finding your mount is in terms of vibration and/or noise? Very rough... Really haven't driven it much yet,...

Wow, what a story. I fully enjoyed it. Thanks so much for taking the time to put all those years into a couple pages for us to read. Not sure about the other board members, but reading about your head freeze plug issue was enough to have me going for my decent bottle of rum! ....... Anyways, glad t...

Two weeks later the truck showed up in CT - https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4474/37734638761_e9b325b000_z.jpg Untitled by Devon Mitchell , on Flickr Once again the driver didnt seem to enthused to drive it off... so I took the honors... this one was pretty scary since it was up on the top rack! https...

I finished getting everything back together that night and crashed, letting the epoxy cure over night on the core plug. Got up in the morning added coolant, cranked for oil pressure, and fired it... NO LEAKS!!!! Let it get to temp, double checked everything and hauled ass to the DMV to get it VIN ve...

... and it still leaked... only this time I was able to see that it was leaking from the core plug at the back of the head... So out it came - https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4627/39927842951_fa3eb92d4b_z.jpg IMG_2025 by Devon Mitchell , on Flickr Pulled the whole engine, but left the trans in... PIT...

Temp gauge was pegged- I shut her down and opened the hood... but my worst fears happened... you could hear it hissing and see cooling pissing out of the back... but hard to see exactly where as the engine was so close to the firewall... but at this point I figured the HG was blown... I let it cool ...
