Datsun 510 anyone?

I have been looking at building a 510 for a while now but have not had much luck finding a clean chassis for a decent price. I have seen a ton of sr swaps, however i would prefer the ka-t. i'm sure that would be one hell of a fun car!
here is a link i found to a nice 510/ka build what do you guys think?

Has anyone seen the Full-Race Twin Scroll T4 ka24de manifold he mentions for future plans?

You can go to full races site and see the pics for yourself.

510's people over rate the cars you should look into the older 1.8 corollas mazdas R series cars as in the 100 , 200, 300 or even better yet a rx7 all the rolling bodys are found very cheap i saw a few on ebay of the mazdas for less then $500.

Toss a ka in any one of the cars i listed and you will be flying. From what i recall from my puerto rico days theses cars with stock motor setups with either turbo or 100+ or sum up to 300shot where going down the race track at 9 to7 seconds like nothing. I know you might not want to drag the car but i would say theses cars are a tad lighter then the 510

ya I just love the style of the 510, they are definitely a little plaid out but the styling is great. then again I love the e30's as well.

So i stumbled across an AWD 510 last week but can not find it again for the F'in life of me!
I personaly think the hot swap is a RWD 4g63(with mivec of course) set up, i know people used to rock the old mitsu truck trans. on the 1 and 2G 4g63s any one know what options the 8/9 4g's have for rwd?
