Yeah.. so I'm in the process of getting my own vert. My plans? swap everything off my SRed hatch to the Convertible... did not pay a lot for it.. only 1400$ and the body is mint. It's on the way to Montreal all the way from SoCal.

Re: (HaLo)
My vert is noticably slower with the same exact motor/trans in it as my hatch had, and obviously the chassis is going to be noticable less responsive without bracing/rollcaging it.

Re: (HaLo)
hell yeah they feel sluggish, its a wet noodle, and you defintely feel the extra weight, I know my coupe felt way faster with the same motor, trans, and diff in it.

Re: (madcowvert)
It could be cleaner... but i like it... i'll get the car cleaned up once it passes the inspection.. next winter, i'll swap over the parts from my car to the vert, get the pillars removed and she'll be a real monster.
