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. What is a cheap clutch that is pretty good? Thanks for all the positive comments on the wheels. I know its not that common at least not in my area.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

Wow.. I'd have to say I've never seen green wheels on a black car before. Looks unique! I do like the Z32 wheels! Some spacers in the rear would be nice for them. How did you do your 5 lug conversion? Z32 parts?

Whats up guys. I know some of your are probably waiting on this. So here are some pics of the latest mod I did. 
Yea so it took my dad and myself 2 hours to do the driver side and like 45 mins to do the passenger side. I did the seat belts the night before. Which I need to fix cause they stick and wont spool out.

on another note, and i know this may sound silly, but i'm thinkin about sellin my vert so i can pay off some bills and put a down on a house. what do you guys think? i know it kinda sounds like sacrilege to sell it, but then again i could reeealy use the money.
