Hi, my name is Alan, I’m the new owner of a 1991 GVR4, 1746/2000. I’ve been a fan of the GVR4, from a distance, for a while. After completing my Ph.D. in chemistry I decided to find myself a project. I searched off and on in my local desert for a couple of different cars I was interested in, but when I saw an almost completely rust free GVR4 I jumped at it.
Right now I’m cleaning/restoring the interior, and getting parts together.
My goals are pretty modest (I hope):
A mostly stock look (Probably just the aftermarket intercooler and I’ll do something with the space where the radio was)
Restored Belize Green paint (or a very similar color full body respray)
Mostly stock feeling street driving (other than the clutch feel)
Low to mid 300s for wheel horsepower
I plan to get there with a whole new exhaust, a 16g turbo, larger injectors, ecmlink, perhaps some cams that are still street and not race oriented. I’m taking my time and the list keeps growing. It’ll take months but hopefully when I’m done, I won’t spend too much time on jack stands as I’m not looking for bleeding edge power, just enough for genuine sleeper status.
I’ll try not to ask too many stupid questions.
Cheers.
