vr4choke: what options are one your car that there were only 2 others like it?

Eh, as far as abortion is concerned, I agree with Stealthee. I think people that get them (especially those who do it more than once) because they are too drunk/high to be responsible for their own actions should not be allowed to do so. If it were up to me, each abortion case would go up in front of a judge.

EDIT: I just looked back a couple pages that I did not read before. You have got to be kidding me! So because I got completely trashed ONE night that happend to be the night where I could finally legally drink I get tarred and feathered for it! You are right CL8, I am sure people have gotten hurt on the streets from alchohol. Unfortunately, one thing you did not take away from my post is that NOT ALL OF US THAT DRINK ARE CRIMINALS NOR ARE IRRESPONSIBLE. Like Autostrada said, I usually just sit around with some friends playing cards or go to a bar and get a designated driver home one way or another. And no, I don't give two shits about my liver right now as I am not a raging alcoholic that wakes up to a vodka and cornflakes for breakfast. And yes, it can be unhealthy...lucky for me I won't be sitting in an old folks home at 105 years old raising my fist up in the air yelling, "thank God I made it this far!" As much as it hurts you, I will still eat prime rib, drink, not always drive with my hands at 10 & 2 on the steering wheel, and other adverse things. Have fun discussing to all your 95 year old friends how awsome it is that you have lived this long in life because if that's the life you want go for it, I can respect that. However, that is not the life I want, which is why I am asking you to respect that as well.

Thanks! I appreciate the compliments. The intake pipe I got off 3SX but was able to get it price matched at some other site (can't remember where). The K&N I got off eBay. I know there are other intakes but I needed one that was CARB certified since I'm from CA so K&N was the way to go.

Post up some pics when you get your engine detailed. I actually got an upper radiator pipe now and will put it on the next time I detail the engine bay again.

[vectorspecialist]

the fact that there were only 129 in your Jamaican blue exterior ever produced, thten the cali emissions and the lower production number of 91 vr4's. those are the only reasons i can think of your car being that rare.

[vr4choke]

well that makes sense. the fact that its rare is the only thing stopping me from painting it.

[AutostradaVR4]

such a unique color too...you're not gonna pull up next to another car that color that's for sure.
