New Kid in Town

Whazzup everybody. Just joined this forum and i own a '92 vr-4 that's spun a bearing and is now receiving a complete blueprinted rebuild, w/ new internals and test-pipe, mbc, downpipe, cats and precats done, and should be at about 395 (i think). Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. :grinyes:

Welcome

Welcome to the forum. Any modifications done as of yet or will these be your first?

Welcome to AF man

Welcome to the forums, you made a good choice, and howmuch does a complete blueprint rebuild cost...?

were is a good place to get a complete blueprinted rebuild done? were can i find out about this ? would a rebuild shop know how to do it?

first off, i don't know shit. i just got the car in early oct. and when i sent it to dealer to be fixed they put a $2k band-aid on a 200,000 mile engine (car is still beautiful, very few scratches and NO dents). After i got her running i got on 3si and us3s (2 3000/stealth forums) and these guys specialize in just our car. my guy is an engineer in auburn alabama. i live in clanton, alabama so drive is like 1hr 45min drive. i'm getting several thousand dollars in savings. you got to get a guy in your area who is good. our cars are older and to run in tip-top performance you get one and start replacing the obvious and then after you drive the hell out of it you replace the not-so-obvious-before-parts that you broke while racing. (and hope u don't spin a bearing like i did. let me know if anyone close enough to alabama wants more info on my mechanic. :smokin:

Ya man, alot of people in here are also members over on 3si, and us3s...

Welcome aboard.


This time of the year I wished I lived down your way so I wouldnt have to put my baby in storage.

mine is in storage too yogs

but for a different reason, oil leaking near cam gears

got a tech who's slowly working on it, for basically nothing, so if i can get it fixed without paying, then hell, he can take all the time he wants :)




sorry for highjacking your thread, welcome :)

UAH engineers > Auburn engineers

anyways, you got someone in your city that has a 1st gen candy orange vr-4, he's cool as hell and he'll know more about that car than anyone in auburn will.

welcome to the party

that's funny, you know josh (the one w/ the tangerine orange vr-4) he lives about 4 miles from me and my AU guy is the one who does everybodies stuff (including josh sometimes) we are all friends. My car is getting the engine pulled tomorrow.

yea, i met josh two november's ago at an Alabama 3SI meet, his car was hunter green at the time. I'm up in huntsville.

man your engine looks awesome. go on 3si and look on southeast forum and look under revised alabama meet. alabama meet is on jan 23. about 20 people from atlanta and alabama. hope to see you there.

yea, i know about the meet. Unfortunately, josh knows that the huntsville crew can't make it. A couple of the cars a out of commission, couple of guys are off at school, ones up in nashville for med school, i can't get away from work cause i'm just starting a new job and wont have enough time in the company to ask off, its just a huge mess for all of us up here. I'm hoping that all of us up here can get everything organized by sometime this summer and attend a summer meet.
