I've always wanted one for a daily driver. I know the top can be a headache but once you get past that they are pretty nice. I had the chance to get my hands on quite a few verts but I have'nt yet. Good luck with it.

hehe i took the pic of the good side of the top lol the other side has 2 splits that go right through. needs a transmission which i will be swappin from my old rx7 and the passenger side window is busted. interior is really good just needs cleanin. i hope the engine is still good. i dont think it has been started in a year. so all the regular tune up stuff before i even try. im goin to pull my s5 motor block from my gtu and port it and rebuild it or swap a tII. but im leanin more toward the s5 ported n/a since i already have the engine. turbo can always come later when i have more cash to work with. anybody know what is better on the s5 engine then on the s4. i think i read that the injectors are better. im goin to do all the sort of freebie/cheap mods and then go with suspension and try to find a lsd so i can start hittin up the drift days. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks for the comments guys.

well i finally got a key made for it and it has some problems. convertible top wont go down, headlight wont come on or pop up using the headlight switch, when i turn the key past accessory the tach goes up to 3k, and drivers window wont go up or down i can hear the motors goin but the window wont move. i was surprised that the wipers worked on all speeds. right now it wont start but i still havent changed sparkplugs and wires and the gas gauge says empty. so im hopin thats whats up with it.

Gas and sparkplugs may do the trick  |
