I just picked up a wrecked VR4 with front end damage for a great price. So long as the engine is still good, which I believe that it is, I'm just going to do a straight swap from the wrecked VR4 to my NA Stealth.
It should be a fun swap with lots of vehicular carnage including sawzalls and cutting wheels.
Everything is going to be meticulously documented with photos and video so look forward to seeing not only a progress report but also maybe some tutorials plus tips and tricks.
As an added bonus, we'll be filming the complete destruction of a VR4 as we cut it to pieces and recycle the parts for scrap money. I'm sure it's going to bring tears to the eyes of a few but it is a first gen and it's not rebuild-able.
I'm not going to do the AWD swap since I hold the firm conviction that if you wanted a VR4, you should have bought one. This is just going to be a fun project since I have the opportunity to do it and since my Stealth is far from my daily driver.
I'm pretty proud that my stealth has come this far. It started out as an ATX and after many years I did the 5-speed swap and now I'm going to the next level just for fun and doing a TT swap.
The project is scheduled to start the weekend of October 2nd. Look forward to it
