I just started the rebuild on my Vert. I have gone with the Spirit-Rei Odyvia widebody kit. Here are some pictures of how far along the car has come over the past 2 years.

This should set things off....

Hit while parked a fourth time!! Luckily I caught them this time.


ChargeSpeed Aero I never really went with and sold to go Odyvia widebody


I sold my Silkroads coilovers to go with a new set of UpGarage Up Spec Damper coils.

Every time I got hit is while the car is parked Perhaps there are some angry fathers out there that read the windshield sticker.......

Some updates

I need to borrow a friend's engine hoist so I can drop the motor this week and clean up the bay.


Soooo Spirit-Rei includes 5 pages of instructions on installing the kit and cutting up the radiator support to fit these big ass minivan headlights..... Problem is I don't read Japanese.

Haha I needed a car wash and there was a high school cheerleader fundraiser going at the local gas station.

My Pedobear costume, lol




Current wheel set up on the car is AME Shallen CX 18x9.5+10 & 18x10-16. Alex owner of WheelFlip in CA is building a Odyvia his build thread is on here as well. He has been very helpful in my conversion and is building my new set of wheels. I am trying avoid using any kind of spacer unless it is for caliper clearance. Otherwise what is the point of going widebody if not to fit more tire??

Some recent updates.

I'm trying to do a wire tuck without pulling the dash. I don't want to crack the dash so we cut the harness.


Going with a front facing intake manifold and cutting the front wheel wells for some wheel clearance. New wheels are being built by Alex from WheelFlip and will be here sometime next week. Sizes are 18x10-26 & 18x13-6 (6 inch & 7 inch lips). Alex is also building an Odyvia, follow his thread for updates on his build.
