FINALLY! It Sees Daylight.....

[tigwebu]

I dont think any other word could explain that

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Hey AZ someday that vert will grace teh pages of an import mag...I wonder if it would be teh first vert 240 in one? I doubt it...but if yours was teh main article...that would be awesome.

[AZhitman]

I don't think it'd be the first, there are several badass verts out there...

I can't recall any specific feature articles offhand, but I'm betting there have been a few.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Hey I never got to ask you but did you ever replace your original top or do anything to it? (replace top, replace motors, etc.)

[AZhitman]

Haven't touched it.

I probably should put the top up on occasion, it's probably rotting in there.

It's been up twice since I bought the car.

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

I've had to keep mine up the past few days due to the rain (daily driver)...and the days I want to put the top down...it's uber hot...and i dont feel like baking in the heat...

Can you post some pics of it with the top up?

[partymonster 975]

OMG, that car is AWESOME. so...ummm.... what time did u want me to test drive it for you?

[whiterps13]

I would expect nothing less from the owner of the best automotive forums on the planet.

Needless to say, its nothing short of amazing.

[AZhitman]

Drove it again today... I can't WAIT to get a thousand miles on it or so, so I can REALLY lay into it!

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

Did you put teh top up to make sure it wasnt rotting lol?

Be sure to post pics of it with the top up...I never saw yours with it up.

[Logan76]

That car is absolotuely gorgous...May I take it out on a date? because it makes me happy in the pants.

[AZhitman]

LOL - In 2 years, I've only had the top up twice, for like 5 minutes each time....

[madcowvert]

lol you top must be pretty dam winkeld

[AZhitman]

I'm seriously considering removing the whole assembly... We'll see.

[Florida240sx]

Unfair I already plan to do that Got to counterbalance the weight transfer of the vg30dett Also it makes a great area to make a bar......Keg in the trunk is still a go

[madcowvert]

if you did this what would the boot still fit right i dont know i dont have a boot??

also what wheels do you have?

[AZhitman]

Yep - It just wouldn't have anything under it.

Wheels are old-school Work Equips that were on an R32 imported by Motorex.

[madcowvert]

your car look dam good and very clean......

[nsrZ32]

Sorry to jump in late on this thread but damn man. The car looks outstanding! Great work bro!

[DeXteR]

have you contacted andy's autosport (andysautosport.com) regarding a hood? i'm pretty sure they'll custom fab pretty much anything you could want. i've never personally dealt with them, but i hear they're good. it's worth a call at least. if anything, maybe they'll sponsor the site...

[BOOMSHAKALAKA]

AZ I have 2 questions:1) Which 5speed transmission did you use (from which 240?)2) Are you gonna take her to the track or is she just a car for cruising?

Never heard of them but I will check it out - Thanks for the tip!!!

1) All I know is it's an S13 5-speed. I got it for free from a guy who was moving. I'm a sucker for free crap.

2) Possibly - I'd like to see what she'll do in the 1/4-mile, but the track probably has some gay rule about rollbars or putting the top up.

I do know this: Built motor + 1bar of boost + 4.36 VLSD = HOLY CRAP.

[One Finger]

...I think I just creamed my panties looking at that gorgeous car... amazing job!!

[AZhitman]

^ I'm going to have to get a visual confirmation on that, Houston.

[Eikon]

HA! Leghumper!

Pics or ban!!!!

[wirelessalpha]

oh please...no pics....please...

ZOMG! Greg you sure your arms won't snap from having to do all that shifting. We do get concerned about you in your later years

Btw, the vert is officially too hot to handle now.

[AZhitman]

LOL -

I have a 6-speed, 2 5-speed and 2 4-speed manual cars... The Q remains automatic.

My right arm and left leg will likely be the only parts that stay in good shape.

I think you should get a differential swap. Either s15 helical or some sort of clutch diff. Viscous diffs suck, especially for that much power. Hell, I hated mine, and I'm still running a stock ka. Definately keep that 4.36 though. I reused my 4.36 gearing for my current diff and it's great.
