Looks very nice. These 510 guys are really creative with their swaps.

Really!Is there a motor that HASNT been dropped in a 510??Of course this is the first time Ive seen an F20C in a 510 (or something besides the S2000 for that matter). That looks like a fun ride...

Its fun to ride in. He just got it painted champion ship white. The car was primered white in the pics. He is putting it all to geter right now, because he had to custom make alot of things. One of the greatest things about this is that its a 69 with current technology. It has the s2000 digital gauge cluster in it and fully functional.

looks great and clean in that car. Amazingly done.

I think that engine bay is craving something bigger though. But thats just me.

Nice azz engine bay...I always see a ton of swapped motors into 510's...but why is that? Is it cause they have a big engine bay or something...really accomodating to all sorts of motors?

that cluster looks clean. is this a strictly track car?

i think its due to the mear size of the bay that you can put virtually anything in there (excluding Ferrari Lambo etc V10's, 12' and the HUGE caddy 16)

No. It more than likely will never see the track.

healing because the L-series engines are hard to make high horsepower without sacrificing a lot of 'streetability' so alot of guys swap in Ka24e and ka24de, also sr20det.. but this is the first time ive seen an s2000 motor in one of these.. really really nice job.

I would love to see a old school track style steering wheel inside the passenger compartment. I think the old flat wheel would look great in there...

Ok, so hang on....

You can mount an SR20DET in a 510, and apparently you can mount an F20C in a 510. You can mount an SR20DET in an S14, so why not an F20C in an S14?

Reason I say this is because I've always wondered what a powerful, high-revving N/A engine would be like in our capable chassis. I mean, I like turbo as much as anyone, but honestly I like high revving NA more.

I for one, will take high revs with turbo over high revs without turbo every time.

the F20C, although a superb engine by Honda, is still pretty torqueless. Which was lamented by a lot of reviewers since rwd kinda of has the connotation of low-end grunt. Mated with a 510, i think they're 2500lbs or so--shouldn't be so bad.

If it's not going to be a dedicated track car, is it still going to see some track/circuit use? i hope so.
