Default Quite possibly the cleanest Datsun 510 custom ever!

I don't know how many of you are fans of the old Datsun 510, but this one is just soooooo sano it's unreal!!!!!!

I found while trying to locate some old pics of 510's as they were styled in the early 90's. You know, huge dish, tires sticking 6-8 inches out past the wheel well. If anyone has any of pictures of that style, let me know!!!

Anyway, on to the goods!!!

Heh... those are both Tod Kaneko's cars!

This 510 is actually rotary powered (turbocharged),and has all the trick suspension pieces
underneath it- the underside of this car is as nice as the topside!
The 240Z has a straight 6 with a single turbo and standalone EFI.

Each car makes over 400 hp. Tod is a wildman.
... and he is the Manager of MazdaSpeed USA (he worked for Garrett/Allied Signal as THE turbo authority prior to signing with Mazda a few years ago). The guy knows his stuff!

510's were quite popular on autocross courses and in SCCA-class events, even though it was technically a sedan.

When I saw those orange-red pair...
I like the modernized old school cars.

I'm happy that the roadsters and 510's routinely cruise to Solvang when I'm in town in April...getting to drool over them is
