Astro's Vert Build

astro932 · 02-07-2016, 03:25 PM

So just starting the thread now even without much done or any real goal jsut a good place to start and show some progress

2010 6M vert fully loaded
So bit of a story of why I have a vert... So before I had the fairlady I had bought a 15 brz, loved the car on the track but for an everyday car was utter crap a rattly POS, so we had gotten a 370z in on trade at work and seeing it was a vert figured it was an auto and really didnt care, the next day I get to work and I pull it up for a used car inspection and go out to it and bam full option 6M vert, I knew the second I started the car I wanted it...even if it was a vert

talked to our used car guy and really the price was too good to pass up...

Now what I want to do pff where does one start?? its my daily but I track it a few times a month in the nice weather so some performance some daily, at least till I can import my delta

So I have the 2.5in aam exhaust in it and I have to say while it sounds great... worst exhaust I have ever put in, never wants to line up doesnt want to seal at all... but oh well it sounds nice some of the time so plan is to cut off the flanges and weld it all, rebend all the hangers and just live with it...

So I also have the rear of the car all torn out... stated with one panel rattleing and the turned into a full blown F it all of its coming out lol

astro932 · 03-06-2016, 09:02 AM

So I descided to pull everything out of the trunk not only to save a small amount of weight but also it makes the tiny trunk usable now! I can get a whole wheel in there now haha

going through all my photos I came across some of my old cars...I wish I had the space for more cars

astro932 · 03-10-2016, 01:01 PM

Minor updates, ordered a chassis mount wing from battle aero! Can't freaking wait!! Took out center console as well.... Umm perhaps I should put it back in. Now to get lowering springs
