The real update thread for the 99vert
Friday, August 22, 2008 9:08 PM
Ok this is gonna be the post i will use to update everyone on what i do to my vert. Minus the photoshoots i always go on lol

got a new shift plus from KARO... (shipped out last friday and got it monday ) turbo shipping haha..

got this at a pretty good deal.. traded a member slide81 for some car audo for the shift plus. He paid for it and had it shipped out to me, and i shipped him the audio component in trade for this. I have to Add. this guy is a GREat person to deal with.. very honest person.

second package was THIS >>>



i bet i can hit 14s with it !!!



ok, im only kidding. It was just the box joeydabomb used to ship out his HO manifold i bought. also a stand up person. thanks again bro for holding onto it for a couple days.



now i just need to get longer studs .. 48mm i think ?or 50? and a filter for the breather, also some hose for the vacuum line? still lookin at what i need to install.. Im going to strip it and get it sanded smoother then have it painted REd


so plans for the engine bay in the next couple of weeks

sand and smooth manifold.
clean up 2.3 throttle body.
get a " quad 4" ign cover
and possibly do the msd neon swap.

also other plans ...
shopping for some 18s possibly 19s before winter... dont need dalys out here in cali, only for long road trips (if i dont get into the group buy)
new top
clean up seats
and possibly 03 sunfire top dash..

With 19's, unless they are Motegi Traklites, along with that manifold without forced induction or some head work/cams and tuning, your car is going to be quite a bit slower...

It will look pretty sweet depending on the wheels, black or gunmetal 19" Traklites on vert with that carbon hood would be sexy!









Paint Signature FTMFW!^

Looking good man, good luck on all the work and you'll like the neon coil swap if you have ever had issues with the 2.4 ignition system.

Hmm, forgot to mention...does this mean *gasp* I'm going to have to make an audio progress thread?

I'll probably not xD My setup is not going to impress many....aside from myself after rockin' stock for 4 years.

Thanks again bro. I love this stereo.

LOL. I like how you flipped the picture as if you had the silver rims on the other side of the car.

Personally, I like the silver way better.

good choice on the wheel. the boots will look nice too, although you should look into the middle piece when you get a chance. itll make it look more complete.
