hello everyone!

hey all, my name is mike, i just bought 1893/2000 a few weeks ago, figured i should go ahead and get on this forum, lol, i'll be needing the info and advice for sure! a little background about myself: I'm originally an army brat, so i lived like, 6 different places before my dad got out, i lived in roanoke, VA area from early '01 till i left for the Air Force in may '08. I'm currently stationed at Luke AFB, in phoenix, AZ... I'm 19, this isn't the first turbo car i've owned, i'm originally a saab guy (still love em, want another one eventually), so i know about turbos, mostly garrett stuff though... this IS my first AWD car, and second japanese car (first one was a '92 civic hatch, i still have nightmares about it). so far i'm lovin it! needs work though, both front axles are starting to click (yay), turbo burns oil (about 2 quarts per 650 miles), may be valve seals as well? that's about it as far as real problems (AC doesn't work either), has a few minor things like the clutch needs to be adjusted, and the CEL flashes occasionally, but i'm working on finding out why today... i'll have a LOT more questions soon, as soon as i get my finances restraightned out to where i can actually put more than gas into the car, lol

Welcome and looking forward to answer some of your questions. Post some pics of the car when you get a chance and pm/email the vin number to iceman on here so it can be added to the database.

welcome to the site

 

Welcome! I just picked up a vr4 a couple months back and am down in tucson (actually stationed at davis monthan myself). Congrats on the purchase. If ya got any questions, feel free to ask. I'm no expert though... I'm still learning too, but I have owned a 90 talon tsi awd so I do know a little bit. I have the galant on jackstands right now fixing a few things that were wrong with it... (mostly slave cylinder, shifter, I/C piping and whatnot). Hopefully I'll have it back on the road before next weekend.
I'd like to see that car sometime when ya get it running well. Keep me posted!

 

Welcome..

"Black is Bad"

We originally wanted a black VR4 but there was none left in any of the dealers in New England when we bought ours
'settled' for white.

I still love the black tho.
