People in the pics aren't me, just fans. :D I bought it from an incredibley rich dude who stored it during every winter and took very good care of it. I also got an unbelievable deal on it. As it stands it is bone stock.

ugh...pearl white, too...you are a bastard...

that car looks pristine man...very nice find!

wow, that's clean as hell. just hope he didnt abuse it or something.

my stealth was in pristine condition when i got it, previous owner just forgot to mention he shifted without the clutch on most occasions, and that the wife drove it, but didnt know 5spd that well.

but nice, wat yr?

I hate you..

If I can see correctly, I think it has ECS, AA, and tunable exhaust. His headlights look glass too, so I am going out on a limb here to say '94 Vector. I hope I am right...

^^Very good sir. You are correct. Oh, and Blink, this is the first turbo car I have owned, not driven though.

absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I'm getting flash-backs to my first pearl white 95 VR-4. It really is the BEST color for these cars :iceslolan

Congrats on the new car!!!

^ i think he's already onto the pearl white on 3/s's.

only part i hate bout any white car, gets dirty way to quick, and wax doesnt stand out that well once it's hardened and you dont look in all angles

I figured you were going to get all sappy and get memories of your old car. :p

Me, I just cant like white cars. Its not in me.

Nice car either way.

I figured you were going to get all sappy and get memories of your old car. :p



small violin by chance?

^ i think he's already onto the pearl white on 3/s's.

the pearl hides the dirt VERY well... you'd be surprised. Flat white looks like shit after 2 days worth of driving.

You use a good quality wax on a pearl white car... and you notice. I'd post pics of my old one, but I don't want to jump in on his thread :)

pearl white > all

it was never hidden on mine. dust was, but outright dirt from like a gravel street, no. salt residue shows up after a few days of it being there.

and the wax i used was i wanna say mothers, that was the last time. now it's parked to far away from a hose to be washed, it's now almost a pearl yellow, gonna change that tomorrow with some help.

but yea, that is a beautiful car.

my one question, which one you gonna drive more now?

Beautiful...congrats!!! :biggrin:

i was looking for a pearl white one when i was shopping...but beggers cant be choosers when shopping for these cars, that's for sure. If you find a good one you gotta jump on it, color was irrelevant. When i first got my car i had planned to get it repainted pearl white...but I have grown to love my green quite a bit...it's just not a color you see very often. Plus, it's very good at not being seen...especially when it comes to the po-po...:sly:
so, now i think i'll just get my hood resprayed, lol.

anyways...my NEXT 3/s WILL be pearl white! :biggrin:

Nice car! And the offer still stands from the other thread...but stock just wont quite cut it:smokin:

You need to come up here and cruise with me and all of my friends, you would have a good time...especially now!

^^It's not staying stock. However, from what I've read don't Stage 2 LSJ's tend to run upper 13's to very low 14's? Jason who is a decient driver pulled off a 13.9 as his best pass with his Stage 2. Just food for though. :D But in all seriousness, it would be fun to run them. Once I get a hold of Jason here fairly soon I should be around the 350hp area.

Heres some more food for thought...stage 2 Balts trap in the 102-103 range and with exhaust mods the 104-106 range depending on pulley. Also, Mzr in his stage 2 (stock exhaust) raced 701-3k tonight and he has intake, exhaust and a boost controller and it was dead even on a short pull from about 40-90. Keep in mind I have full exhaust muwahahaha lol




And a huge missfire for the time being

^Lol. I'm sure they are quite quick from a roll. How good of mechanical shape is his 3/S in and how much boost does he have it running? Only reason I do ask is because if he invested just a little little more and was knew how to drive his car he could hit high 12's...like I said, if he is a good driver and his car is mechanically sound. So are you planning on running your car at the track agian anytime soon? I would kind of like to take mine but at the same time I still have trouble beating up on this car. lol I still have yet to go up to 6k rpm's. :lol:

55k on the motor...47k on the car...go figure:eek7:

It is in absolute perfect shape. All the work was done profesionally by Tintmasters, a very reputable company that holds the track events up here. It is one of the nicest 3/S I've seen. It runs flawlessly and it is HELLA FUN to ride in. I forgot to mention that it also has a Fidanza flywheel. And Sid is a very good driver, people just dont give the LSJ enough credit usually. Now from a stop it would be all over but the crying of course, but from a roll we are mean little bastartds:lol2:.

MZR also raced my buddy's LS1 camaro last night with intake and exhaust and hung with at about a half car back.

And the next track event that we are planning to go to is on October 4th I believe and the track is in Sabin MN, just on the other side of the North Dakota border.

^Nice. One thing that would help your case out I think is simpily some wider meats. From a stop I would think 215's would spin for eternity on a FWD with some decient power. Right now I have 245/45/17 evo-z tires. They are incredible for handling but if it gets slick out I would be hosed lol. Here is a pic of them:

My 94 looked exactly like that.

I'm still a bit bummed I sold that car a few years ago :crying:


Grats man! She's a beaut!!

Thanks Yogs. How has the spyder been?

And Blink, I would think you would almost be better off selling your VR4 and buying a pearl white one than repainting it. The pearl white paint job isn't cheap by any means.

I have 245/45/17's as well.

The problem is there is such thing as too wide. Especially on a smaller car. Too wide of tires and he wont see any improvement because of tire bulge, etc.

215's are probably perfect for his car. 245's are another 1 3/16" wider. Thats alot.

^^Yeah I don't think he should get 245's but 225's may not be a bad idea. Just a thought.

Took the VR4 out to meet some of it's new friends today lol.

You're in Omaha right? Is Chritine still around? I haven't talked to her in ages.

Yeah, that pearl yellow VR4 was hers. However, she was not the one driving it that night Chad was haha. She'll be back in town I think Saturday. She is in PA visiting some family right now.

We had a meet one of the times she was in visiting family. She didnt have her 3s though.

^^Haha, yeah she has told me that she met you before. I think when you met her she had her first gen sandstone VR4.

i wish they had those type of car shows around here. fuck they don't have nething that really honors newer cars unless they're vettes.

well nopi holds a gathering 2hrs from me, but 2008 schedule was cancelled, i forget y tho.

Good to hear all that landscaping work paid off! The car's gorgeous!

Ya that car looks georgous. If there is anyone in indianapolis, when I get back from Iraq we should cruise some time. I get back in November.

Dude... Where the hell did you get that CF mitsubishi bumper logo?

A guy who has a Stealth TT here in town had it. He said he searched for one forever on the internet before he found one. However, it may be mine soon. :D
