I got the car a little while ago and havent done anything but replace the feul injectors and and a general tuneup, it runs great and is a blast to drive. Not a big car guy and cant decide if i wanna work on the body or go straight for the engine.

Bodywork and paint, definitely. Especially because it's a vert.

well if you have the money go for an engine swap, or even an auto to 5-speed if you have an automatic. If you don't wanna go with anything on the engine yet then start with suspension, LSD, rims, anything!

first off get rid of all those decorations in the car asap. do some maintenance like oil change belts and all that, check the engine for anything wrong. it just really depends on where you wanna start, engine, suspension or dody

i like the 5 spd swap idea first, after u get rid of the seat covers and dice.

it all depends on what u wanna set it up for, suspension brakes and a lil power will do wonders if u wanna drift. the hood and bumper should go with with the rest of the body.

it all depends on what u wanna do tho, theres a ton of forums for verts too !zeroforum/148http://forums.nicoclub.com ... ead/229320

to get u started ! although u may have found these already !

you are also located where a bunch of awesome car shops are such asenjuku racing, xat racing, etc...

lol at the hostility towards dice, but the seat covers are there because the previous owner didnt take care of the seats, so just a quick fix till i can get some racing seats or something. And im planning on a paint job soon, the hood and bumper are red cause the old black ones were pretty banged up and my cousin was making a drift car and had the extra parts laying around and gave em for free.

and heres some engine pics

thanks for all the input so fast, this will be my first car that im gonna really work on and i wanna do it right the first time
