Thanks! it's been a process. I've had the car for 9 years, it was bone stock & clean when I got it. [Im the 3rd owner]. Had a 1g GSX before that. Been into Mitsu's since 95' [i'm a old ****! ] My 2 daughters love the car, so I just try to keep it running good and drive it.

My favorite VR4!

 

Gorgeous car, I always liked these too. So potent, yet so understated.
Good on you for maintaining it so well.
