Just picked up a 92 vert. Got some mad plans for it. It will definetly be one of a kind I hope, but for now it needs some TLC. I'll put up some pics tomorrow. Glad to join the vert community. This will be my daily beater until may when all the mods will be added.

Progress....

I have the rims on the driver side on, but not with the tires I want yet. I'm going with a 205 up front and a 215 rear. Also found some rust on the rear panels.

What coils would you guys recommend for the vert?

Its going to be daily driven.

Stay away from Tein. Especially Flex (garbage).

Greddy is very good and a decent price.
