Hey. I got a vert about a month ago and the last 2 weeks I got some stuff done to it.

The night I picked it up



How it looked in the day.

Friends got bored and drew on the messed up door. (was only on for about a day, then I changed out the door a few days after that)



After I did a 5-speed swap and put on some cheap Drag 15x7 +0 wheels

Slammed the rear on KTS coilovers and ran out of time for the day and have to do the front tomorrow.

So now we are up to date with this car.

And for knowing me better I used to have a MK3 supra and this is what it looked like. I recently sold it though.



And I also got one of these to slide



I think that is it.... haha

Welcome man!
haha thanks. That thing is super easy to slide.

Yeah it wasn't to hard. You just have to take the fender off or just enough so you can get to the bolts. You also have to unplug all the wiring in the door and take it out to use in the new one. But over all it wasn't to hard.

Thanks, But personally it isn't there yet. I got a few more things to do before I can call it clean and sexy

I sold it because I figured I should sell it before I dump 10K into it to make it what I wanted. Plus I got more then enough money for that car. I will get another one one day though. And no I did not sell the Supra to get this vert. The vert popped up a few weeks after I sold it and I bought it for a beater.

I had 18x9.5 +15 18x10.5 +15. I guess it would have fit but it would have taken some work and a full kit to pull it off.

Yeah it should look good when I am done. I loved that supra and I will never forgot how clean I had it.

Umm the M3 did. Not all E36 come with it. I think it is a clutch type.

welcome aboard!! nice work on the vert!!! and I think I have been to vex motorsports. I went to san jose about 8-11 months ago to a place that helps homeowners refinance. it was in the very back and i parked in the front. while i was walking to the office i saw this freaking bas *** red supra RHD. I just walked over and was checking it out. some guys rolled up and asked if i needed help and i just told the guy i was checking out the cars. they had like a bunch of other rides they were working on. one of the guys was really cool and actually took the time to talk to me about what they had done to the supra. this dude was so cool that he even gave me some suggestions on what to do with my vert and offered future advice if i ever needed it. awesome!!! again nice work on the vert and welcome to our family!!

It comes with the territory.

In regards to your loud exhaust, a "whirly muffler" will quiet that down quite a bit.

I was actually going to get one of those. But I actually just sold it so maybe I'll get it for the next one I make. Or maybe I will be boosted by then

Where do you have the harness bolted down to? Underneath the rear seats?

Also, The coupe door swap seems pretty straight forward, I've got an extra set sitting at the house. My question to you is how would you recommend unhinging the old doors and putting the other ones on?

When I took these off of a scrapped coupe I destroyed the hinge (pin) basically. Just couldn't remove them cleanly. Tried pliers, etc. Maybe it was my lack of patience...

Yup where the buckle is. I just removed the buckle and used that bolt

umm I just took the fender off and took the 4 bolts that held on the hinge. Bad part about that is. is that it takes longer to line it up. I am actually still haveing issues with it but every time I get a chance with the fender off i mess with it and make it better but it just isn't quite where i want it yet.
