ya, i guess so, but who would want to put a seat cover over leather seats? i was just saying how much i enjoy my cloth seats b/c they're always a relatively constant temperature. leather is fine, i just wouldn't choose it. to me its unnecessary, but others like it. my bro has leather in his explorer. its nice, but so is cloth.

and ya, racing seats would be awesome. love that bucket feel when you take a hard corner and get planted into the seat.

I've never heard of one going that cheap that was in any type of working order. Most of us who own one keep an eye on ebay for Spyders. I know I do and would have bid on the thing myself it were that low at the close of the auction.

sry i posted that twice...

Seems iffy to me, What year is it? Who knows how long it would take the guy to get the engine in, seems wierd to be selling for so low unless the new engine is realy high milage and the paint sucks.

[Futurevr4ownr]

when i talked to the guy on the phone he said that the engine waiting to go in is totally brand new...i am taking my friends dad with me (he is a mechanic) he will be able to tell me if i will have to put big money into it or not...the paint is good from what i saw when i drove by it today...it is white...the year is 94'...does the 94' have a 6spd or 5spd trans in it? i didn't get to go look at it today because it started snowing like hell right before i was gonna leave...my mom is dropping me off there tomorrow morning when she leaves to go to the doctors...but once i get ALL the details i will get back to you guys...

94 has the 6spd...

If your mechanic friend thinks its in good shape, then why not. But I'd ask to see a receipt of the new engine and find out why put the money forth to buy a new engine, when he could have just sold it as is.

hey guys,
i went and looked at that Vr4 yesterday afternoon and it is in good shape....the motor is brand new, the only thing wrong with the exterior is that someone backed up into the right front fender and there is a dent and a scratch there....and there is one minor thing wrong with the interior...someone ripped out the glove box...lol...i dont see how you can do something like that...my mechanic friend said other than those two things the car is in great shape...oh and i found out it is a 92' not a 94' like i thought it was...the chassie has 148k miles on it.....and the new engine is not a stock engine he upgraded the turbos...he said it should make somewere near 350-370 HP at the flywheel...about how much would that be at the wheels???....i am calling the guy today to tell him i want it...and ask him if i can give him monthly payments instead of just $5000 cash...cause i dont have that much in cash at the moment...oh and by the way....all 4 tires are flat from just sitting there...how much would a good set of high performance tires cost? alright guys i'll get back to you....thanks for everything....

Does anyone know were i could get a glove box?....lol

Ok, he said he upgraded the turbos...find out what turbos are going in, also find out what supporting mods he has with it, if he is just dropping in turbos without the proper supporting upgrades, you will break something quick. Also find out what year the new motor is.
Also 92 was the transition year for vr4s, I'd find out if it has the 18spline or 25spline output shaft. And what year the new motor is from, is it a 2 bolt or 4 bolt main. That is higher mileage, and I personally would look for something lower, but if this is the best you can find in your price range, and your mechanic says it is good, then why not. But I'd still be questioning why this guy is dropping in a new motor and upgraded turbos for free...that potentially is over $5,000 in parts and labor...so why is he doing all that and then selling it. Something just doesn't add up to me.

[Futurevr4ownr]

alright i will do that

Yo nick i snagged my VR4 off an old women for 5000 bills and she fucked up her engine in 94 so she got a new one put in in 94. its a 91 with the newer 320 horsepower engine, CHill shit, sucks that i crashed that shit. Its a great car man. But like people are saying insurance is a bitch for a kid and I had a red one and it was gay. If have any luck like i did i have all the part the engine and tranmission are still good 70,000 miles on the engine twin turbo, only thing that is damage is the entire rear Cup SUCKS

FYI, color makes no difference in your insurance rate.

Twist...a color can be bright, dark, etc...but not gay. Also please watch the langauge, we prefer to keep AF a bit more clean and professional, especially this section. That being said, welcome to AF.
