Rob's SR20DET 510 WILD!!!

[Alvin]

Happy 510 day everyone! I had an exhillarating day with Rob and his SR20-powered 510. I also had the opportunity to ride with him in his latest creation, an LS1-powered RX-7...WILD!

I take many video clips of Datsuns in action but Rob's 510 is one I've never captured on video, so here are clips of us enjoying the dime on 5/10 day. Highlights from YouTube:

-2nd-gear roll-on watch the stripes layed down and check this picture out!!!
Keep in mind this from 2nd gear!



-In-car rearview out the back...watch the stripes being laid from 2nd gear!


-In-car view of Rob trying to keep the dime straight while accelerating...hear BOV


-Chase-car view from behind, getting squirelly!


-Another chase-car view and this time Rob carries the spin for a loooong time!


-in-car footage from the LS1-RX7...the sound is intoxicating, the torque is instant, and the feeling is insane!

Yuck, the red-headed stepchild of Z-cars!!
cool sound though.

I don't know, I think he just glued some sheetmetal to the hood and video taped himself driving with the soundtrack to TOPGUN playing.

totally fake. no dust from the exhaust and the exhaust pipe should be quite visible like 12" in diameter

I watched it again, the pipes on the hood are the exhaust..You can see the"pop" when the turbine lights, and the heat ripples in some other frames. Whether it really works, can't say
