I'm one of two verts in my area. The other one is driven by an old lady.
This beauty set me back $1500, plus the title fees and what not. And as for the top up, well its been really rainy here the last week, and I had to go back to work in my sloyota right after bringing her home. Ill get top down pics soon.

Its Corey, dude lol.

Anyway, so yeah, it has AGX's. I don't know if it has lowering springs or not. The struts are set to 2, but how do i turn it up?

Also, it lacks power throughout most of the RPM range. Like if Im cruising at 30-40mph, it will just randomly decide to lose power, and when I floor it, it doesn't do anything and then like out of nowhere it gets its power back, downshifts, and throws me back. Its like that at any constant speed under about 80mph, where the RPMs don't exceed 3.5k. Timing?

to adjust the struts turn the **** on the rear. higher number = stiffer. on the front you turn the adjustment **** with a screwdriver and align the white dot at the desired setting.

While inspecting my motor after seafoaming, I found this:

Yep. It was a mafs problem. The mafs was reading that there was less air than there really was. So I start er up with the seafoam...

Runs like a top now.

And louisiana summers (i.e. every single day, rain) plus no top = ftl.

SO how long should seafoam smoke? Mine's been smoking for well over 20 minutes now. I've never had it go this long!

lol, mine took a couple of days of hard driving to blow everything out. Nice and easy fix on the coupler there.

Verts are sexy. Did they make verts in a 5 speed?

dude the vert would look so much yummyer with a rollcage in it....

it's like this,

you see a vert 240 and think its pretty cool, the guy driving it puts the top down and you see bars emerging in a odd place..then it goes all they way down & you see it has a rollcage!! then you fall in LOVE!

this is how i began loving verts, plus this guys vert was connverted to 5spd
