Matt's VR-4 Long Island NY 289/1000

[race_me89]

I guess i should start with I'm soo Siked my shell was just delivered last week

Ok its been in my garage i haven't got to really look at it until today

It is 1992 #289/1000



It came with all 4 axles, driveshaft and 4 bolt rear /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
kyb all around with stock springs
17 inch rims
2 1/2 exhaust to a muffler with no name
Now my favorie part the interior is MINT!!




(when the car was on the trailer i opened the driver door and instantly got hit with the "New Car" smell i said i dont need to look at the car lets push it in)
so the only part of the interior that was in any way not 100% was the steering wheel
so i went to work and stumbled across this

the box was damaged so i got it for $43.00 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

i already had a block:
6 bolt
Weisco hd pistons
Manly Turbo Tuff Rods
Acl race Bearings
Arp head and main studs
fluidine engine dampener
balance shaft removed

1g head no port work
B.C. 280/280 cams
B.C. springs and retainers

Unfortunately i NEED everything else so i look at this as an adventure

9/03/11-Shep tranny and transfer case arrive /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
9/04/11- Installed the Grant wheel (of course the instructions were of no help lol)its really clean and kind of goes with the interior. The pic is crappy due to poor lighting in the garage


I also looked under the car in more detail the rear seems to be leaking and the rear rack is definitely there whether it works or not i don't know exactly how to test that, but the exhaust has a magna flow straight through muffler diameter looks like 2 1/2"
