Hi, my name is Marcel, and I'm a VR-4aholic. I'm 25, and I live in Everett WA, and this past weekend I was driving to Boise ID to meet up with a friend to go camping at Saddleback Lakes in the Sawtooth Mountains. I stopped near Yakima to fill up my tank when a guy came up to me and told me about this site. Sorry, I don't remember his name, but he said that he drag races vr-4's and that he was on his way to Ohio to meet up with another member.
This is only my second car. My first car was a 1990 Honda Accord that I had for about 7 years. the only things I have done to my VR-4 so far is the clutch, flywheel, master and slave cylinders, spark plugs and wires, an oil catch can, and changed the fuel filter. It has about 185k miles on it. I bought it from an older guy named Kurt from Portland. I was planning on rebuilding the motor this summer, but I was just laid off so I have to keep my spending under control for now.
My eventual goal for my car is to get it in the 3-400hp range, and make it handle like no other. I love to drive fast over mountain passes, and on the back road twisties, which I found out that Idaho has some awsome roads. I love having AWD. This past winter I got about a foot of snow, and was laughing at all of the big 4x4's getting stuck on a flat street in front of my house, and all of the other big SUV's that I saw in a ditch as I was coming home from a day of snowboarding. Also all of the nice expensive cars that were spinning their wheels and not going anywhere at a green light. I had a lot of fun driving those nights with the streets all to myself.
I only know some basic information about these cars, but I have seen that there is an overwhelming amount of information on this site. I am sure that any question I will have has already been asked numerous times, so I will be sure to do my research, and learn as much as I can. I know that I have gotten myself into a moneypit, but I know that it will be worth it in the end. So if anyone has any quick pointers, what to look out for, or what to avoid, I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this lengthy post. I'm sure it will be a long time before I make another post since all of the information I will need is just a few searches away.
