New Vert Owner

[Trae]

Just bought a 93 vert this past weekend and have been enjoying it. Currently it is all stock but may have wheel and suspension done in the next few months. I'm already tired of the auto so a manual swap will probably be in the works. I also own an 87 Rx7 that is down for repair. I blew the turbo last year at a drift event and let it sit for a while. It now needs the engine cleaned out to free up the apex seals which appeared to be in good shape whe I checked,just gummed up(seafoam helps). Currently the vert is my dailly driver, but I may make it a DD/backup drifter to the FC. That is all for now.

First project is to get the interior in better shape...my progeny digs it

Black verts are sexy.

Cute kid. Looks like it's almost time for karting.

Black verts are sexy.

My vert's black and due for a paint job, and to be quite honest, I'm thinking about a subtle color change.

As in...OEM Juniper Green metallic:

Nice fc!!!

I still like the new 'vert better though. lol.

Welcome to the forums Trae. Glad to have you aboard!

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

uh... link to more picks of that slammed coupe please!

It belonged to a member of Zilvia; it was unfortunately stolen and never recovered

My inspiration for my 'vert is a combination of that, and NeedCAforS13's old car:



Xenon front lip, OEM Silvia skirts & rear valences, CDM DTRLs, 17x8/9 SSR Mesh, or maybe Advan Onis, in a decent offset (right now I'm on 16x7s), fenders rolled/pulled and tucking just a little bit of tread, seatbelt pillar delete, painted Juniper Green Metallic. Maybe delete the factory wing for a Wangan, or something more subtle like a DMax.

I've got the lip/skirts/DTRLs...can't wait to get the rest of the schtuff and throw it all on.

OK, /hijack. Nice 'vert!!!
