My new to me VR4 :)

[AWDER]

Hello,

Looks like the move to 3sgto is going well, getting populated. :) I have been tuning DSM's for several years and have a 628 whp dsm myself. Built the motor and did all the tuning myself (without going into specifics), and it has been running strong in it's current form for 2.5 years. :)

I just bought my first VR4 a few weeks ago. It took a bit to find one as I wanted a low mileage one. It is a 1993 and has 61,000 miles, and 60k is done. Interior and exterior is perfect other than the notorious cracked defrost vents, which I will replace with the easy install ones soon. All the devices work including Active Aero and ECS.

Only mods are: ATR DP and catback with high flow cat. Y pipe has been upgraded. 3SX underdrive pully as I didn't trust the stock one from separating after reading up. Greddy Type S Bypass valve. Matrix air filter kit from 3SX. Blitz DSBC Spec R EBC. Blitz turbo timer. Autometer boost gauge.

Here are a few pictures. It is a little dirty cause of a quick rain while I was at work. I work at a dealership so I am going to have it washed, buffed with wax, and detailed tomorrow. More pictures to come after that. Tell me what you think. :)

Congrats on the new ride, its a very clean looking car.

Any plans for upgrades?

[Street_Chally73]

Congrats on the recent purchase. It looks like a very clean ride.

[skater334]

Very nice, great mileage too.

[CoreyB]

Sweet ride. Looks a lot like my own.

[thor'svr4]

[3000GTCSULB]

Clean looking VR4...very nice.

[Fakepower]

if i were to buy a 3000gt, id get exactly what you got the pearl white is the best paint job you can get on those cars..

[AWDER]

Thanks for the compliments guys. I feel lucky to have found her. I am not sure what my plans are yet. I think if I do anything, it will be some sort of engine management or tuning device, as I like to get things dialed in where they are and then adjust as other upgrades come. I am not sure if I want to go AEM or keep it more simple. I guess it kind of depends on my later plans. I would love to throw on some DR-750R's, but I think most would. lol I do know that I enjoy a clean, stock appearance sleeper.

61 K miles on a 1st gen and VR-4 ?? That's hard to find. Great catch, looks in good shape, Now try to keep it in one piece :-)

:Clap: Low mileage 93 is a real find these days .. And in my favorite first gen color .. I know someone that would love to get their fingers on that car.. Besides me of course .. Good Luck with her !!!

[terrets]

Nice catch. I wish mine was in as good of shape and as low of miles :(.

[green-lantern]

Nice pick up man, and welcome! Did you have the same user name on 3si?

[DocWalt]

Nice ride man! Welcome to the forums :)

I'm just waiting for someone to post one of these threads with my old car, haha.

[AWDER]

Thanks again guys! :) I live in Parker, Colorado, which is just southeast of Denver.

I am going to do everything I can to keep her in one piece. She will be taken care of that is for sure.

I do go under the same user on 3si.

[yellowbeast94]

nice man..looks hella clean...word of advise on the 3sx pully..the lower timing cover bolt likes to works it lose..and will eat the lip on the pully off...and cause big time damage...so keep an eye on that .

[terrets]

loctite.

[AWDER]

Took some new photos tonight at my work. Did a full detail inside and out. Inside other than vents is PERFECT, but I couldn't get any good pics as I only had my phone. I still can't believe how clean the car is.

In at least one of the pics you can see Two Camaro SS's, a 2011 and a 2000. The altitude widens the gap for naturally aspirated and forced induction cars evidently, because I beat them both pretty badly on the strip (off the public road) we have, letting off at about 100mph.

And here are a few more.

Gonna paint the moustache? I love the looks of the 1st gen GT's. If they were red and some with some Koenig rims it wouldn't be hard to mistake one for a Ferrari to an untrained eye.
Very nice buy, looks like your set!

[beepbeep]

Very clean looking ride. Just promise us that you won't 'rice' it up......

[CoopKill]

Nice find for sure. It has lowering springs as well....

[AWDER]

lol I promise I won't rice it up. My DSM never got riced. I left it completely stock looking other than exhaust and FMIC from the outside and then it would go run a low 11. lol

I am still trying to figure out my plans for this one. It will certainly be kept stockish looking. I need to figure out what turbos and engine management I want. I have tuned with AEM before, but I definitely want to keep it simpler. What would you guys do?

Also, those of you that live in the Denver area need to post or let me know, cause I feel all alone right now. lol

[Amphiron]

What would you guys do?

E-manage, DR1000's and supporting mods.

[AWDER]

I am thinking about going to DR750's when funds permit. I need to figure out how I want to get the tuning side done though.

And here are a few more.

Very very nice, gotta love a mint 20 year old car.

[Polygon]

Absolutely gorgeous! That's one hell of a find and it's in spectacular condition. Out of curiosity, what did you get it for?

[AWDER]

The car is mint and only has 61k miles on it. That being said they wanted $11,999 to start. When I got done I managed to get it for $9,499. lol I was willing to spend a little extra for a mint condition low mileage one, so I think I got a pretty good deal.

Josh

[Polygon]

I'd say so. That's a damn fine deal. Well, congrats man!
