welcome!

if i were only so lucky to even be able to see an evo VIII with my own eyes...
i have never actualy seen an evo that is any earlier than the evo X (except for in pics of course), because the evo X is actualy the first one that is legal in canada. finaly!

have fun with your new ride!

welcome

 

thanks for the welcome!

so... heres a little scoop on the gvr4 im looking at. its a 91' in summit white. The previous owner purchased it as a DD. ran fine until one day it began leaking at the fuel filter. he never got around to fixing it and so stopped driving it. after awhile he went to work on it i guess and found that the radiator fan stopped working. so those seem to be the 2 main issues stopping the car from being driveable. Secondary he said it probably needs a new timing belt and could use a good alignment. its has 150k on the chassis and 60k on the motor... any comments are welcome. i still need to get the vin.


btw picture of my baby in her prime before the accident...

omg! your car was crazy nice! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif

Wow... That was Evo must have definitely been a head turner... I hope you don't like much attention and prefer the sleeper look now though /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

haha thanks guys... the decals were just for a car show. i will most definitely enjoy the sleeper status.

i do miss my evo. good thing was i had already parted out the evo at the time of the accident. so she was pretty much stock.

Evo is a awesome car..but gvr4 still the best..

 

[boostingwild]

WELCOME!

So I just got back to the thread and saw that evo....what in the world were you parting it out for?!?!

What mods did it have that you will be pushing over to the VR4?

 

ahhh its official... just had her towed to my possesion.

now to work on the fuel leak and rad fan to get her safely running.
