Re: Looking to buy a 91 VR-4
trust me, on a car that's 16 years old and probably has sat for long periods of times (seeing the low mileage), it will have more problems than just the clutch and rotors.
but yes, rotors are simple. if you've done clutches before, that will help you. however the AWD transmission is quite heavy, weighing in at around 90 lbs. if you're a big strong guy, you could do the bench press method for removing/installing the transmission, but a trans jack is nice. also, when you reinstall it, its a very tight fit between the motor and the frame members. the best/easiest way is to put the differential up first, then rotate the rest of it up to the motor (pivoting it about the differential. you'll understand it better when you actually do it.
read our FAQ thread. also, check out the thread titled "thinking of buying a VR4 for a 1st car". i know its not your first car, but there's some good info in there too.
welcome to AF!
