New Video: Playtime With the Vert

high quality QuickTime for fast connections: http://a11.video4.blip.tv/3810001869...72878&rs=19966

BRAP

I picked up this 88 vert in june for $1000, totally stock with just 38,000 miles. It wasn't running, and the previous owner didn't know why. As it turned out, all it needed was to have the old fuel flushed out, injectors replaced, and a new afm. It runs perfectly now.

Mods so far:
-Tein he coilovers
-17x10 Saleen mustang reps all around
-welded differential
-Bosozoku style straight pipe from cat
-Canadian Bride seat
-tall shift ****
-s13 pig nose lip

I'm planning on doing a 6 port turbo on a stock s5 turbo running 5psi. Inspired by this:

You ruined that car. You should have fixed it and sold it, then gotten another one.

You could have made a couple thousand, had fun with another FC, and kept a nice vert on the road.

Thank you Mr. Grip.

I have an idea where you're coming from, but I don't understand what is so terrible about bolt on mods and a little spirited driving. Considering the rural area where I live, I probably rescued it from having a v8 crammed under the hood. Which do you prefer?

I never said that. You saw him fail into a ditch.

I'm saying it's a 38k mile vert, that looks like it was in very nice shape. He could have fixed it, sold it to someone who would keep it nice and built a nice FC with the money.

Instead, he could wreck the side, repair it and try to sell it for 12k without saying anything about the car being wrecked like you, Grip. I still think you might have better luck with yours if you had painted it that ***** pink color you always like to suggest.

I like modified cars, I have a GTUs thats about to undergo the knife for 400WHP and built for drifting.

Cool video man. Like the setup on your Vert. Besides for the exhaust, im planning to do something similar. But i didnt pick mine up for that low of a price and im not in the market for breaking anything big or get a new car. so i keep the drifting to a minimum
