My nephew is thinking of getting this VR4. He knows I know quite a bit about them and that I know a lot of 3/s guys around the country. So, I am trying to see if anyone knows anything about this car? I believe the car is around Missouri.

The guy told hime it has:

15g's, 550cc, FMIC, NEO, coilovers, and more.

He (owner) says it is dumping fuel. I figure he hasn't tuned the NEO at all!

Anyways, here are some pics so if anybody knows anything, let me know.

Thanks.... -Dan

I honestly don't know. He has always wanted a 3/s car and he lives in Sothern MO and I said I would try to find out any info. The guy (current owner) is clueless about these cars so he hasn't been much help.

I think I may know who used to own the car before that guy. Eric-Vr440 I believe.

Im not sure what is wrong with that car but it has been passed around CL like 4 or 5 times now. I know for a fact that 3rd gear synchro is out and it has GT pro turbos IIRC.

I just found out a guy from the "other site" checked it out and had pics it was the same car. He says it has blown turbos w/a lot of oil in the intercoolers. So, I gave my nephew a heads up.

With dumping fuel I would be worried about washed out oil and excess wear as a result.

Yeah I hear ya! I told him to just stay clear of the car. He lives too far away for me to help him with it on a regular basis.

it's becoming a real problem finding a 3/s without this fate. kinda like the DSM world.
