Bio:
I bought this car in the summer of 2007. My dad saw it at a customers house, told me about it, and I immediately wanted it, since it was my dream car. I bought it with my own money (only $1500!!!!), at age 15, and gradually fixed it up to be my first car. The summer of 2008 the car was repainted and was put on the road. The wheels, new seats, and steering wheel were added in 2009. I drove this car my senior year in high school, and then after driving it one winter, I said fuck it, bought a DD and made this car my nice weather car. It has one numerous titles at the local car shows. It is my baby.

Yeah man i love cars so thats basically all I spend my money on, its bad lol. The vette is a tad bit faster than the mitsu right now. I think the mitsu handles a little bit better though. And thanks for the compliments!

Yup all wheel drive, all wheel steering, and electronically controlled suspension makes for a pretty good ride!

aws really? never seen any with all wheel steering. odd my fren from hs had a 95 converted to a 99 spec. also had a 91 vr-4 too never got to see the active aero working on the 91.











he sold it last year tho. and has been going to school full time. and now rolling a ford focus

[gloryaccordy]

Very nice

How is it reliability wise

[Ralphie]

Ah PSEG...who works for them?

I applied to work for them but never heard back

Very nice pics. Its cool to see it transform from a DD in high school to a show car...that engine bay is really fucking clean.

Yup, all vr4s up to 1997 i think had all wheel steering. And that car is beautiful. It actually looks really familiar, do you know if he was on a 3000gt boards?

Very nice

How is it reliability wise

Thank you! And it actually is very reliable. I bought it at 109k and was dailying it for about 2 years (now i rarely drive it more than 1500 miles a year) it has about 121 k on it now and no problems with the exception of the ecu needing a rebuild ($150) other than that its been fine. I just made sure I did all the preventative maitenence when I first bought it

My dad works for them. They really arent hiring right now as far as I know. I know i was thinking about going to work for them after I graduated college since there are practically no jobs. But Im just gunna stick to where im working now.

And thanks! One of my biggest regrets was not getting a beater from the start. Had I not DDed her in high school she would literally be mint. Shes pretty close to it now but it needs a few things touched up

he went by the sn insane4cefed if i remember right. i helped him get his first 3kgt when we were in hs. i found it in the paper with a blown engine and he got a j spec engine dropped in. and rolled in it thru hs and out of hs he gave that 91 to his fren who just ended up selling it for money for his project. then he bought the white 95 which u see above.

Nice, I knew i saw his car somewhere before. Ive been on 3si for a while so that would explain it. 2 nice cars though! Shame he had to sell the 95 it looked like a really clean car

[Theos92VR4]

Just wanted to update. I still have this car (never selling it). Havent done much with it, i pretty much finished the build back in 2011. Only upgrades are a new transfer case (old one grenaded) New altenator, new starter, power steering lines, and clear front signals. Vette is long gone, got hit by a short bus that ran a red light in 2012. tore the entire back end off the car.
