I'm throwing this up so you 1g guys can throw me any hints/tips on things I'm not seeing.
Popping the hood of the VR4 the first thing I noticed is the clutter under the hood. Next I see that the hair filter + box are offset and the intake makes some nasty turns(battery in air filter location like my other galant). I've set myself a list of things to do that are inexpensive and at the same time will make the car better, but I'm up for suggestions on other projects. remove all extra vacuum lines and cap(complete) change all fluids(engine, tranny, Tcase, rear dif) install a K&N and hack airbox change spark plugs(bpr7es) rewire the fuel pump move the battery install SAFC + boost guage hack aircan further and install my old intake with 2g MAF Turn up the boost after a good tune See about changing out the end tank on my old IC to make it fit Install 28x10x3 IC/w 2 1/2" piping get a 3" exhaust and install my EVO manifolds onto a ported turbine housing I'm thinking that list should get me into the 13s for a good start, provided the clutch holds up and the tranny cleans up with some synchromesh. Any suggestions gang? Nathan -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car

Just did a compression check. I got about what I expected.
132-130-150-135 I'm not sure what's up with the 150 other than maybe some carbon buildup on that piston. Otherwise I'm going to say she's got life left, but not a huge amount. I ran her up and down the block a few times hoping the gears would clean up. Alass, second still zips, first still zips, and third still clunks. Maybe it just needs some more time, but I'm going to give up hope guessing a tranny rebuild is a soon must. -------------------- GVR4 866/1000 = the perpetually broken car
