Ok by now if you dont know about my 88 GTU and the scam and then the not being able to sell and the trying to keep. It is an endless cycle I try to get rid of it but as soon as I find a buyer I wanna keep it. But then I cant find a motor for the cheap.

Ok so here is my ordeal this time. I can do one of three things. 1. Trade the fb and starion for a S4 vert and then sell the GTU to upgrade the vert. 2. Trade off one of the cars (FB or Starion) for a motor to put back in the GTU. 3. Sell the GTU and the Starion and upgrade the FB some more.

I am very split in my desicion this time there are so many possiblietes. I have never seen a vert in West Virginiaso it would be kinda cool and I hear that they are about as stiff in the suspension as the coupe because of strengting in the frame. Correct me if I am wrong. But this extra strentgh would also cause more wieght and slow me down some. Dont get me wrong I want a vert I am just not sure if it is the way to go right now.

Now I can abandon the vert and try to trade for a motor for the GTU. I dont really want anything fancy just a good motor and my attemts at this have been futile so far. I love my GTU to death and i want to keep it but I am afraid that even if I put a motor in it Something might happen and I would be back in the same position I am now. The motor that I had in it was mildly ported smoked like a frieght train and it didnt go down the road very strait. well the only thing I fixed was the tracking in the rear end so now it would drive strait.

If there was someway I could trade off the FB and the starion for a complete T2 drivetrain then I would make it a GTU2 probably with a FMIC which I have laying around somewhere that way it would just look like a GTU. Althought the possiblites of this are slim to none

Then there is the last option is t sell starion and GTU and put more money into the FB.

Ok to make this whole thing relevant to this section It must be A ? So here it goes.

A vert is cool looking but after everything is said and done which would drive better and be the better investment, I must drive the car daily but only about 5miles. Also I looked in the FAQs and the only info I found on verts were the specs, I was wondering if I could learn some more about them through you guys and your experinces. I dont want to make another mistake. So many projects taken on but only a handful have been sucessful just ask DDub114 about all the plans I talk about but never get to do. I bet he is kinda tired of hearing them all LOL.

Thanks for the help you guys. Your awsome in advance

If it were me, I would get a motor for your current car through some means. If you really like convertables, I say sell some of the cars and get a vert. They are heavier, though.

that is my main problem noone wants to trade a car for a motor

Damn dude, how many cars do you need? haha

If I was in your position I'd be happier with fewer cars that run than four that don't. Trade em all for the vert if you like verts, but a NICE one.

hmm I wish there was a way to do both that would be awsome. But right now I am leaning towards finding a motor for trade. I know my car in and out every little thing was nitpicked by me. It may not be pretty but its mine and It was accually the first car I ever drove that I was comfortable in. I am 6ft 2 230lbs and its kinda hard to find a car that fits if you know what I mean. I know a vert has the same seats and such but I just dont think it would feel the same. So if you guys know anyone that has a good motor and harness that wants a car let me know.

I think I am gonna take some pics of my car tomorrow. I love my RX7 I will never sell it.
