This is a "feeler" thread for my GVR4. I bought this car in about 1999 from a kid in Boston. I am the 3rd owner.
I drove it about a year and a half, then it burned a valve. What started as a head job turned into a full rebuild at about 131,500 miles on the ODO.
Got engaged during build, guy helping build got divorced at the same time. Car sat for a while, new wife started to boil about it.
I got it back, broke in the engine with on/off loading, did some initial tuning, then hit the low exhaust on a bump here in detroit and took it off the road to re-do exhaust. (logs, etc should still be on the forum) After build car has less than a thousand miles on it in the last 7 years, always stored indoor. Car has been turned over, run about every 2-4 months during that time on bent exhaust. Car has not been run since June this year.
Feeler is: Sell as package for project or Part out
My goal was to get this back together in September and sell my Impala SS, drive this all winter. I have new calipers and Stainless lines to go on, but not done, bumper cover is off as I was adjusting the intercooler alignment and am installing a '90 style oil adapter and cooler, and redoing the cat-back portion of the exhaust.
Most Parts below were from 2002-2003, so "old school"
Car as is includes:
Original window sticker, key fob #490/1000, manual, manual holder
T3/T4 Turbo from force performance, 4 bolt exhaust housing, external Tial wastegate,
