Shiva: a slow drift build.
So the other day I picked up my newest project. A 1988 Vert. This is my first rotary powered car and im damn excited. Going from my Miata to this is nuts. Any who, shes a virgin with 104xxx miles on it and she runs amazing. Hood/trunk needs some paint, but thats about it.

And also yesterday, I went and picked up a some exhaust parts and took it to a shop. Got 2.5" from the cat back to this.



Many more updates in the VERY near future.

Wasn't a fan of it, especially with the color of the car. I think white looks much better.
