Hello all,
This has been a long time coming, have a few of these pics floating around but about time i get my stuff together and post a proper build thread for my 2013 6mt Base VT.
My previous car was a 2004 G35 coupe with quite a bit of blood / sweat/ tears invested. I wasn't in the market for a new car, but my G was fully paid off, and I werre considering getting a more convenient vehicle. Her lease for her 2011 elantra sedan was up so as her and her sister were both trading in their lease I wander off and see this interesting looking car, the EQUUS
lol
After messing with the back seat fridge and touching every knob conceivable, I made my way to the VT and was very surprised at what i was seeing. the vultur... er i mean the dealer saw me and made his way and asked if i wanted to take it for a spin, 25 minutes later I come back with a smile on my face and I was quite impressed with how nimble it was. The G had torque and quite a bit of engine, but it was a porker and you could feel it. On my drive back, I couldn't stop thinking about the VT and went online that night and did some extensive research. Few more trips to the dealer, countless phone calls, and 1 more test drive later, i picked up my White VT in april 2013. Took my wife for a spin, and what do you know, 2 days later she picks one up too in black.
originally i wanted to keep it stock *lol* as the G was modified at just about every aspect and it was very low, loud, and stiff, and the wife wasn't gonna have that again. But as i discovered this damned website, I made peace with the fact that it wasn't gonna remain stock for much longer.
The G before i sold it
How it sounded
on to the VT pics!!
Stock pic + Mud guard (maybe a week in)
blacked out tails

Installed Hella Super tones Horns + first car wash pics
then this showed up
then this came off
Dipped OEM wheels + eibach sportline + JP Rear Torsion
