a Bay Area Vert ~ pics

[krillin99]

Hello Nico Forumers, we've been on the forum for a while and finally have a chance to post some pictures of the vert. This is my brother in law's car, but I enjoy fiddling with it. We got it around September and worked on it whenever we had time. Things that we did to it were wheels, suspension (smashed my finger working on this), brake conversion, and replacing the rear window recently. The engine only has an intake so not much there...we still have yet to clean the engine down. The vert's got its fair share of dents and dings, but we're slowly working on that along the way. The forum's been extremely helpful and I find it hard to contribute more information to it because about 99.99% of the important stuff is in the forums already. But please enjoy the pictures.























...and the next thing we're probably gonna work on ...

Great looking car!! I have one question though. Are your front tires directional? By the looks of the tread, they seem to be on wrong. In fact, the rear are going a different direction and look to be correct.

Haha thank you for the correction we are running down to fix it now! i won't point fingers as to who made that mistake...

[krash]

The car looks great! You need to throw some flares on there to cover up those wheels though are those the actual enkei RPF-1's or are they the Drag wheels replica?

What are the wheel specs? Those are like perfect sizing and they look close to 0 to 1ish camber range in the rear.

if i didn't remember them wrong, they are 17 x 9 front and 18 x 10.5 rear. don't remember the offset though.

we didn't really mess with the camber other than dropping it. we've got rucas installed, but set it back to stock length.

Enkei RP-F1s are one of my favorite track wheels.

You need a fender pull or something in the rear...

Other than that, looks good.

Welcome to the vert forum and thanks for sharing!
