Future mods planned on G vert

Thought I'd share what some of my future planned mods are for the G vert.

New Wheels ASAP!! Most likely these:



Exhaust: Hopefully an ARC GRIP True Dual exhaust (they are currently gauging interest from the vert community to determine if they are going to make this. They may do just a limited run so I may have one of only 5-10 in the world. Hopefully soon!!

Springs: probably Eibachs

Tune or Engine Management

And then maybe, maybe, maybe, eventually, forced induction. We'll see if the wife will be cool with that or if my business is good enough to bite the bullet on the cost.

Stay Tuned....

If your wife let you get forced induction, I would be so jealous. I been asking my wife if I can get the GTM Supercharger for the past year.

I think it's the sickest sounding exhaust for the G. Sounds like a ferrari or some highly refined sports car. I am SO hoping ARK decides to make one for the vert!!

My wife was pretty cool about the mods I did to my EVO back in 2003 - 2004, but we weren't married at that point soooooo, it's a little different now. I think my chances are about 75-80% in the next year or so. Time will tell.....

Thanks man! Still going back and forth on whether I want black on black or gunmetal on black. I'm getting some custom paint work done that will cover most of the chrome on my car with gunmetal so that might be a nice tie-in. I'm gonna wait and see what it looks like on the car then make a decision.

Just put in my order for the new wheels going on my vert. Decided to go with these instead of the wheels pictured in the original post. Several reasons, but mostly due to black vs. gunmetal, and weight. This one only weighs 18lbs/each the other wheel weighs 24lbs/each, and with my stock wheels weighing in at 30lbs EACH I figure this is gonna give me more of a noticeable bump in usable power. Plus I think they look badass!!

Sticking with 18's for now. Can't pony up the cost to go to 19's with new tires all around when I have brand new 18 inch tires on the car. Will most likely switch up to 19's eventually. Didn't really find anything in a 19 that I really loved anyway.

Wind Deflector is most likely in my future as well. Only problem is that I will have to take my son's car seat out everytime i want to use it soooooo, not in any hurry to get it.

**Also, will likely sell my stock enkei wheels to help raise funds for other mods like an exhaust and springs***
