Congrats on the pick up. An ex-buddy of mine used to own one...for a couple weeks. I guess the guy that sold it to him had done some "custom fab work" to the radiator and the car overheated on the highway and the motor blew up.

I was honestly a little worried about it from a reliability stand point at first.
The car has been solid, even with a 30 minute each way commuting to work everyday. Hell, the GVR4 idles better than my Accord does. Once I get the boost leak sorted out and can get a hold of a old laptop for logging, I'll run the boost at 15psi.
Oh yea, and I need a hood and sunroof glass!!!!!!!

I had a buddy who had a pristine model VR4 that he modded to the gills. Even with all new parts, shit was ALWAYS breaking down. He eventually dumped it but made a good profit on it. It was definitely quick but didn't inspire super confidence, even on rcomps, a roll cage and a full suspension
