I was going to text a friend for his birthday and found in the message thread there was the discussion about the 510 I saw at last years motorshow. Apparently it had been sitting on Watanabes / minilites when it was at the motorshow.

[Komisiripala]

Well hello!

Is like to get hold of a set of 15" watanabes myself!

[MasterDon]

So we're not meeting on Sunday afternoon?

[Komisiripala]

no we can still meet up. who else is there? you, me and?

[Jaliya48]

I dunno...Let's get a count on Saturday and decide.

[esdeez]

I think I may be able to join ya'll Might be an opportunity for me to shed some light on some situations for Komi...

[Komisiripala]

guys are we meeting tomorrow? jaliya? what time and where? i say around 4pm? independence square?

and the gear knob arrived today. ah, much better than what i had. the old one was loose and rattled at high speed. quite a pain. the new one, in a word, is patta!

[Davy]

Nice, but the new one is for a 4 speed transmission. The transmission on the car is 5 speed, is it not?

[Jaliya48]

Nice knob and even nicer to see it facing the right way! So you're a four speed too! Annoying at times, innit?!

[Komisiripala]

no machan 4spd. even the 240z came with a 4 spd. annoying at times, but she's got long legs, this gal. after 4000rpm the car takes off! i might take off with it soon if i don't instal the buckets and seatbelts...

You would give a whole new meaning to the term "Flying Doctors"

Dirty mind, you!

[JadeyBlitzen]

So I guess the mini g2g didnt happen. Saw komi and don on opposite sides of town around 4. btw komi you should lower the 510 some more and put it on lower profile tyres.

[Komisiripala]

It's already lowered I think low pros will help a bit. Rear wheels sit inside the wheel well.

About to invest in the L16 and some good old retro tach and gauges...
