I've always loved VR-4's/Stealth RT's. Just wish they weren't such a PITA to work on.... not to mention how expensive stuff is for those things.

These Japanese engines are just a HUGE puzzle, you have take certain pieces out to get to others..key is remember how to put it back in which I learned very quickly my first time lol

Nice ride, Im curious as to why it has a Mitsu logo on the front Im assuming that is a bumper cover from a 3000?Im not too familiar with these cars I know that they are basically the same platform the 3000 and the Stealth. I wonder if it had something to do with placement for some mods?

Looks sexy as hell :headbang

Yeah a good comparison would be to the eclipses and talons...essentially the same thing when it comes to drive train but exterior wise they are different. The front end is a conversion from a stock 99' 3000gt model, usually its done for cosmetic reasoning but it does allow a nice front mount in the front. If it did not have that front end I honestly would have looked away...can't stand flip up headlights personally.

good luck if you ever have to work on it. When one of those comes into the dealership, everybody runs and hides.

The engine bay is tight, so yeah it can be a real pain to work on. I like those front ends much better than the pop up headlights from the earlier gens. Have fun with it, should be a fun car.

Yeah. It's not that bad to work on. Sounds like you're squared away mechanically, but let me know if you need anything

Those front ends are pretty rare too. Saturn on Hwy 100 had a 99 VR4 in pearl white in like 01. Damn was that car hot. Heavy but so fuckin sexy. I've not looked but it doesn't seem like people do aggressive fitting wheels on these cars. I'd like to see that.

Only thing I don't like about the Dodge version is...it's a Dodge and the rear wing. I HATE that wing for some reason.

Oh you will with mine..in time lol I agree with you on the spoiler...I prefer the back end to the 3000gt but am not a fan of the spoiler...I really don't know of one that would fit well with the car though and it looks completely naked without one.
