Awesome. I've always preferred that front-end.
Although I think I'd want to build a Sil-eighty (Sil-fourty?) if I could have one. I go back and forth between whether I prefer the coupe or the liftback.
My dad has a 510 with a KA24 (well, actually it's a Z bottom and a KA head, Troy Ermish built it as far as he knows). It was caged but my dad is trying to put together an interior for it. I thought it was cooler with the rollcage and proper buckets.
I got the coupe for the chassis rigidity, and cos I tend to favor boxy cars.
A 510 def falls into the "boxy" category. Very nice. Isn't it cool how you can mix n match some old parts like that? Makes me think of the RB25/30 hybrids they yeet together in AUS, or the old Si head swaps they do on Hondas. That's a really cool car to have, esp with that kind of history behind it's build.
I def love the look of a race kitted interior, but I also get the appeal of a more "finished" interior as well. I'm somewhere in the middle with my nissan. Mostly stock interior, but a MOMO steering wheel and a QD, Corbeau bucket seat, and a Schroth 4-point harness. After upgrading the suspension, it wasn't hard to take turns fast enough that you would not stay planted in the seat - a bucket became necessary.
The Honda was supposed to be the Daily Driver, left unmodified and just used to get around. So naturally it has a 5 lug swap, RSX-S brake conversion, and a thoroughly tweaked suspension. Steering suspension and brakes are my specialty, and where I always start.
