Thanks! Yeah, it's been fun. I was kind of hoping to put a T5 in it, and put a turbo on that 2.3L. Should be easy, since the same basic motor (with different guts) is turbo'd in both the 4cyl mustangs and t-bird in the '80s. I also thought about a 5.0L from a fox-body mustang. The car is light...

clickThis is my daily-driver, and has been for years now. But I have two kids, and it doesn't have a back seat. Also, summers here are hot, and it doesn't have A/C. But it's a fun car. So...buy it!More pictures available at Craigslist. Most of these pictures are older. But I've added a...

Howdy y'all. I know this isn't a GVR4, but it's a pretty neat car. I hate to sell it, but I just can't hack it anymore without AC.I bought this car in December of 2015, and I've driven it nearly every day since. It had ~8,500 miles on the odometer when I bought it. I presume this was mileage...

PM'd. Super interested.

So is 176k miles accurate for the motor?

Sold to a friend.

Potential buyer is offering less than $1800 by Friday, and I'm probably going to take it if no one else makes an offer.

Come on guys, I need this to happen really soon if it's going to happen. Someone buy this car!

If you fix the crank pulley, I would feel comfortable driving it long distance. I can get the pulley fixed, but the price will go up ~$200 or so. I can't afford to dump anymore money in this.I've driven this a lot since I've bought it, and I'm not concerned at all at its ability to make a...

Ask and ye shall receive. Unfortunately my camera battery is pretty much done. It won't really hold a charge, and it turns off automatically after each picture. So I know there are a few duplicates here, and a few missing pictures. I'm working on it. There is only one door with ANY rust on...

Well the doors are 100% clean. I can grab some pics later today if you don't mind seeing the car covered in snow. The doors will be visible, though. Let me know if there are any other pics you'd like to see.

Okay, seems everyone is nervous about rust and potential motor issues, so here is the deal: If you buy within the next week, I'll take $1,800. I need the money bad, and thought I'd have tax money by then. Apparently the IRS hates me, so my refund is getting delayed until mid to late March...

LOTS of pics. I got it on a lift at a local garage and took pics of the undercarriage. My camera isn't the best, so a couple of them turned out blurry. I retook those pics several times and for whatever reason I couldn't get to them to come out clear. In any event, I think they still show...

I'll take it down the street to a local garage tomorrow for an undercarriage shot. I'll try to take several under the car while it's in the air. Hopefully I'll have them up by mid-day tomorrow.

Undercarriage has some rust, but like I said it's not significant. It's all surface from what I can tell. I'll try to take an undercarriage pic tomorrow.

So I bought a new XD adapter. These pics were taken yesterday. The car has a good bit of clearcoat fade, and two significant rust spots on the hood (pictured). All other rust is surface level and insignificant. Also, I forgot to mention that 2nd gear grinds a little if you shift fast at high...

I fixed the coolant leak today. It was one of the hoses headed to the firewall. I also took a bunch of pictures, but my old camera uses XD cards instead of SD cards and I've misplaced my adapter. So I'll be taking cell phone pics tomorrow, and potentially buying a new adapter. The temps are...

First, here's a link to the previous sale.Since purchase, I bled the brakes and replaced all rotors/pads. Rotors are basic replacement all around. Front pads are ceramic from Autozone. Rear pads are standard replacement autozone. I also replaced the radiator with a standard...

Well the zip ties are holding. And I found a place that does state inspection for $15 and they basically only check your lights and tires. I'm still hunting down the electrical issue, though. And I could really use some advice on a quiet muffler. It doesn't even have to be 2.5", I just need...

Cool, thanks for the advice. I'll go buy some wire and make new grounds as soon as I have some time. Fortunately I don't have to drive the car, so I can just let it sit until I can get it fixed. Any recommendation on the wire gauge for ground? I'm assuming bigger than factory since it's...

So after owning the car for a few weeks, I finally had time to put in my boost gauge and manual boost controller today. I eliminated as many vacuum lines as possible, and disconnected the bcs entirely. The car ran absolutely great. After some adjusting, I got the boost set where I wanted it...

Welcome! I'm in southwest VA, so if you are ever down this way, let me know. It'd be nice to run into another GVR4.

Nice guy, good price, quick shipping and very good packaging.

Thermostat. So happy right now.

Yeah. The A/C fan doesn't seem to work, but the radiator fan works really well. I'm going to replace the thermostat and hope for the best. It probably hasn't been changed in forever, and it doesn't hurt to have a new one in there. When I get a chance, I'm going to try to get the a/c fan...

So I drove the car about 100 miles today and it was rock solid the whole trip. I parked it at a friends house, ate lunch (stayed there for about an hour), then drove home (about 10 miles). On the drive home, the temps started climbing. It was only stop-go driving for a mile or two, then it...

I can't even get the lines to budge. *Sigh. So I guess I'll try to find a garage that is willing to do it. So far most of them go cross-eyed when I mention four wheel steering. One even said, "We don't want to be liable for any issues that might result from blocking those lines." My...

It looks like I would need to replace pretty much everything. So I'm going to try to block some stuff off just so I can get ps back in the front. I'm not sure if I want to tackle replacing all the 4ws components in my driveway. It's not shaded, and I'll be doing it by myself. Not my idea of...

How much? That could be an awesome solution...

Thanks, mitsu. I'll be sure to keep them lubed. It's always amazing to me how much havoc can be avoided by little tips like this which amount to simple maintenance. I'll add this to my list of things to regularly do.The only local yard I've found with a dsm is a 2g awd that is picked clean...

So I've got a pretty major leak in the power steering that isn't going to be an easy fix. From the looks of it the leak is on the high pressure lines going to the rear, but I could be mistaken. I found a power steering rack from a 1g and the consensus seems to be that it is a direct bolt up (I...

PM sent.

Yeah, I wanna go. I know it's not going to be crazy expensive, but even a few hundred dollars is tough to come by right now. I'm gonna try, but it's going to be tough to get that approved by the wife. I'll try, though. Maybe something will work out.Thanks for the welcome, guys. I've been...

Yeah I noticed. "Technically the VR4 was imported from Japan, therefore it is not a DSM." Anywhoo, yeah I really wanted to try for the shootout. I have a buddy with a '98 gsx that is going. I'm just not sure if I can afford it. I'll try though. If I can make it I'll let you know. I'm...

Sorry! I posted that update last night after a long drive home. I've spent all day today working on the car. Here are some pics.Here is the car this morning before I left for the DMV.And some from after my disassembly.Surprisingly the radiator is shot. I drove it almost three...

Just picked this up from JD. Car is amazing. One of the cleanest interiors I've ever seen. Trans shifts beautifully. Car pulls great. I've wanted a VR4 since I first saw one. I'm stoked that my dream has finally come true. I've been lurking around the forums for quite awhile now, but I've...

Sold to me. JD, you are awesome. The car was so amazing on the way home. And guess what? The A/C works. It's not crazy ice cold, but it's cold enough for now. Anywhoo, thanks man!

Anyone know anything about it? Any advice? It seems to be way cheaper than a long trip, and it would save me a lot of time. My main concern is how the deal would work. Would I pay the full price prior to delivery? Half now half later? What if the car arrives and there is a serious issue?

Is it still non-abs and no cruise control? Also, did anyone ever figure out the switchable t-case and tranny? Have you done anything for the surface rust of the undercarriage?

I like that FMIC and all the goodies that come with it. If it's still available in a week or so, I'll be all over it.

Yeah, it took forever for him to ship it in the first place. And he doesn't answer pms at all. I'm fine with not battling him. It'd be different if he shipped it broken. This was just a mistake.I'm not intending on putting anything in the hole (there's a joke waiting there, I'm sure). I...

So I just bought an intake and 2g MAF. The guy I bought them from just tossed them in a box and sent them out. Apparently in transit one of the vacuum fittings on the intake punched a dime sized hole in the maf. Any ideas on fixing it? It obviously doesn't have to hold pressure, just has to...

I had a similar problem on my old 2g. Big 16g, stock smic. At full throttle there was some pretty bad detonation. It felt like several bad misses in a row. Same as you I had new plugs and wires. I couldn't afford an upgraded intercooler at the time, but one day I noticed how hot the turbo...

I agree, but unless he's willing to spend more money, or do a fair amount of restoration, that is his best option. I'm in the same boat. I don't have a ton of money to spend, but I want a GVR4. Always have. So I'm waiting until I have enough money to buy one that isn't suspect. Fortunately...

Buy this instead. It may not be a GVR4, but it should be a fun car, and it looks to be well maintained. Not a bad price, either.

Quote: If the cops aren't enough of a deterrent for you, the car is also going to run like sh*t.What he said. Seriously, there isn't an upside with this 'mod'. Have you upgraded your intake or ic piping? In my experience they both made it easier to hear my bov. Other than that, I'm...

To anyone with concerns, I drove 4 hours to check this car out today. I decided not to buy it, because on my way there I got a text about buying a different car that I prefer to this one. However, I can vouch for this car. It's not a Galant GSX with badges slapped on. It's a VR4...

Thanks man! Assuming all goes well, 287/2000 will have a new owner tomorrow.

So, this car is now for sale on this site HereIs there any particular reason I shouldn't buy it? I know the T25 is a piddly turbo, but it'll do until I can afford another one. The Intercooler is still in place, just not hooked up. The injectors and ecu are still the turbo ones. So all I...

Sold?
