I cant believe how mint this car is, paint is almost flawless, 63,934 original miles on the odo, and theres not a crack in the leather. Learning to drive it well is taking some time. The clutch engages rather low, which is a good thing I think, but I found shifting a little notchy from what Im use to. That aside, Im still not used to the power of the engine. It pulls endlessly and almost demands a sixth gear. I managed a few pics before my camera died. And I envy anyone who lives in texas; the straightest, flattest roads Ive ever seen.

How much did you pay? Nice car.

Well, my grandfather paid $22,949 when he bought it in 91. He sold my dad the vr4 and a '98 626 for $2000 total. Hes really giving us a great deal cause we're family and hes wealthy himself so he doesnt really need to sell them for a lot. My dad just told me today that since the title is in his name that instead of charging me $1000 for the VR4, hes just gonna let me have it as long as I pay for anything that goes wrong with it. I was very happy.

ahh .. your one of those kinda people :rolleyes: .. must be nice ..

no, the funny thing is, is that im really not one of those people. i dont have money, and this is the first time something has been handed to me like this, which is why im so excited about it.
 
Very clean car, I love it! I've wanted a black GVR4 forever but I can't find one locally for a good price and in that good of condition. I'm jealous :(
 
Ok, so flame me all you want im used to it :| but what size engine does that have? and is it a six-speed?
 
2.0 liter 4g63T same as a turbo eclipse .. and if its standard its a 5spd ..
 
I don't mean to seem like an ass, but how old are you that you're being given this car? 16? If so, please for all of us here that realize what a rare and precious car that is, don't wad it up doing something stupid.

Very, very nice by the way. At this point in time, that's a one-of-a-kind. Make sure you treat it as such. ;)
 
ok, for the record:

Im not a bratty little rich 16 year-old that gets whatever he wants from mommy and daddy (if i was id be driving an STi...)
Im 19
Im at college at Virginia Tech
I completely understand that this is an incredibly rare vehicle in exemplary condition.
I know all about it being one of only 2000 imported from Japan in '91.
You dont have to worry about me asking 'what the best bov is', and ricing it out with ebay parts.
I will probably never take it to a track.
No, its not for sale.

With that said, I thought Id whore it a little more with some real pics:

edit: i just read the thread, so i found my answers. BUT DAMN, i cant believe that. that is amazing, you have one helluva grandfather. You are very fortunate to have such a pristince desired car. AMAZING! :thumb:
 
i've always thought that those were like the ultimate sleeper cars. i'd be soo pissed if i got beat by one of those and i didnt know what it was... OMG
nice car, can we get some interior shots maybe?

Sorry, I dont have a better one of the front seats at the moment:
