It's got a welded diff stage, 4 clutch, megan racing short shifter - custom cut so it's even shorter, tien inner and outter tie rod's, xspower intercooler no turbo anymore it blew so I reverted it back to N/A for the time being... It's a sohc car

front and rear strut tower bars and c-pillar bar
Put all my zebra interior in it and my led blue cluster lights

I'll be pickin up my new log manifold for my dohc and my roll cage in a couple weeks

Got my new radiator core support section that I needed.

Just gotta get my dude to bring over his welder when I get everything together for the vert

So whats going on with the vert besides a new radiator core support? I need to learn how to weld. It would make everything so much more fun also knowing that its all custom.

^Mod list? I never have been to fond of the hatchbacks. I think when I finish the vert, I might get a coupe and throw a LS1 in it.

Yes I know of the thread but that does not answer the question. And I guess there is no way to really find out how many are drivable. Too bad it would be nice to know how many are left.

well, since I have no life, and I also asked myself that question, I counted up all the verts in the registry about two months back. There were 283 at the time.

Thanks guys. Well decided to do a rebuild/build then boost later on. I plan on having HRT build my motor when I get my taxes back next year. Then I will boost later. Also will do a 5-speed swap. Can't wait.

I think I might pick up a pair of corbeau A4 seats at the end of the the month as well as the harness. I going to make my brackets myself cause I heard the ones they have put you up really high. Im 6 ft. and dont need to sit any higher.

Re: (RM12577)

donut86 — 2009-08-01T16:18:25-08:00

I have one forming as well...I hit it with 220 grit as well as I could. Ill get around to fixing it once I start driving the car. I guess I might have to do the writeup if I can find my harness to get the car running.

RM12577 — 2009-08-01T10:42:45-08:00

yea ive been waiting on holemilk to do the writeup on it, i might have to take the windshield out as well to do the repair.... its a pretty good sized spot that needs replaced, but i dont plan on it being done for quite some time so I'm in no rush, just gotta make sure to get it done right so it lasts me a long time, ill create a thread one of these days when i find a camera showing what I have to repair on it and have my own build thread....

Re: (RM12577)

donut86 — 2009-07-31T23:48:10-08:00

youre going to have to remove the trim...I saw a thread on removing it around here not too long ago.

Hey guys, I am the new owner of a vert as well, no pics yet, not really worth of them, imagine a red body, black trunk lid white front bumper green dented fenders and, random black paint spots over rusted areas, and thats what it looks like, brand new top though.... anyone know an easy way to fix rust between the windshield and the front of the roof, like the trim section around the windshield that the roof hooks to when it closes?

Edit: forgot it also has grey coupe doors on it as well, and no seatbelts or back seat, and the seatbelts arent mounted correctly yet either, definitely a work in progress....

My buddy works at a chassis shop and he is going make me a custom roll cage for just the rear. Should have it installed and powder coated in Setember. We are taking all the mounts for the rear seats out so the trunk will be open to the rest of the interior and going to smooth the humps a little and run new carpet from the firewall all the way back to the trunk. Then I am going to tuck all the wires in the back to the sides where you wont be able to see them. Should be fun. I have a set of hatch door panels I am putting on and going with a 4 point harness. I will keep everyone updated. I having the cage powder coated the same color as my wheels. I think its going to look really good. Then new seats and I might fibers glass my door panels and quarter panels as well, make the quarter panels on piece insted of having the slit down the top of them.

the vert — 2009-07-13T19:41:10-08:00

thanks man I will see what I can do. If this doesnt work then i will email you to see what else I can do.

biggie — 2009-07-13T13:43:46-08:00

Usually the bleed screw doesn't get it all out.

One way is to jack up the front end(or park on incline), put a big funnel in the rad and put coolant in the funnel. Run the car to get the thermostat open and press the top hose to force air out.

There are muliple methods as the KADE is well known for air bubbles.

"the vert", since you are NC I can probably get you in touch with some people to help, just send me an email if you need to.

Re: (the vert)

240daveTX — 2009-07-13T12:49:27-08:00

there should be a bleed screw at the front of the intake manifold at the front

the vert — 2009-07-13T11:42:44-08:00

I do I get rid of the air bubbles in the system?

got a question guys im temp gauge will go all the way up and I will pull over, pop the hood and the motor will feel normal. Im thinking it might be my thermostat but I just had a shop put a new one in. Could it be that they could have installed it wrong?

Most likely an air bubble in the coolant system. Be careful, could overheat easily.

Re: (the vert)

donut86 — 2009-07-13T01:03:53-08:00

you could try the coolant temp sensor...I just bought one for about $15

Get you an Exedy clutch kit. You can get an OEM one for about $190 or you can get a High Performance Stage 1 for about $335. Here is a link to the OEM replacement clutch: http://www.frsport.com/Exedy-O....html
It's the one I went with when I did my 5-speed swap and it works great.

yea, its just black, dont know why though. It was like that when I bought the car. Getting ready for a 5 speed swap. Found one close by for 400 bucks. I just have to buy a new clutch.
