Ahh, beautiful day........ great for pictures! (may not be 56k friendly)

Well, if you don't count the clouds that were a bit grey somewhat pretty ... as far as what Pcola has been getting then ... ya know

Anyway, I decided to go to the beach the other day, and take pictures of my 'vert... and well, stuff


Here ya go.





I put her back to sleepy eyes, just because I got bored one day. I know, I know. I don't want to hear it



I also know that the fogs are too far out. I need to get ahold of SureShot (I believe that's his forum name) and ask him what he did with his fogs to get them where the stock ones go. It was REALLY hard for me to drill through the car at all to put those on. Hell, My AMP isn't even drilled or hung onto anything. It's just laying where the spare tire *was*.




*sigh* Almost to 100k. Something I never really wanted to see on her. Oh well, atleast it took almost a year to get this many miles, than my other car , when I put over 30k miles in 1 year. lol.

I'm ~12 hours from Miami. In pensacola..... I go down there every once in a while to visit family, but don't bring my car(s)...

kouki - thanks. Not too much..... All that's really done to that car is a system.... as soon as I get enough money, my AMP will actually beable to push the sub lol.....

She's gonna stay resonably stock, unless I find a good paying job to get her turbo'd as well as my GXL fixed up.

Nice vert. I live in orlando, so if you are ever around, hopefully I'll get to see your vert in person. Nice sleepy eyes, i was thinking of doing that to mine for awhile, probably like a day, just to see what people would say but im too lazy to do it.


Edit: Cheap thing that might make those rims look nice, if u want to do it ofcourse, if paint the inside black and leave the lip silver/chrome, I have it on mine, looks pretty good until i get enuff money to buy some rims. I see you still got the BBS caps, lol nice....mine are gone I got them like that, tho I painted them myself.

Anyone who tries to steal my caps are going to get their head chop'd off hehe.

Well, the wheels are pretty dirty (fronts) because of bad breaks / rotors. I think I have warped rotors, but haven't had the time or money to get it looked at/fixed. It kinda sucks.

Do you have a picture of what that would look like painted black inside out of curiousity?

I did the cheapest and inexpensive way I could fine - I'm poor! .

I took out the 30 retractor fuse in the engine thingie. Be sure to pull the right one out though..... lol then you go underneathe the car, and should find the retractors to ease it down. IMO - I'd leave the headlights up, then take out the fuse. That way you're not having a bitch time raising them up.... it gets kinda tough (for me) anyway.

go behind your headlight controls, cut the "up" activation wire and install a momentary switch that's easily accessible.

Man, Christi...everytime I see your baby you make me want one that much more. I don't really care about the weight (that can be dealt with, not to mention just give it more powa and deal with the suspension and you'll forget all about it ) heck, the RX-8 weighs 3k also so give it roughly the same power and I'd be MORE than happy. The vert is truly timeless in shape (out of all the FCs' it lends itself the best to any aero kit because you don't have the roofline to "MAKE" the car look "older", but either way you don't need one) in everyway.

Those other pics are fantastic also (I was out taking pics all day also, but not of my baby...just nature and my family (sister came from CA for a few days). Very nice pics of the beach too, the first one is FANTASTIC (I like the scene a lot). What kinda camera do you use? Okay I will shut up now .

Kiyo

P.S.
Nice car...didn't I say that .
