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

Well head #2 is toast. After driving 40 or so miles it seems the head just locked up. I was driving to chilli and the car was running great. I saw some smoke from the rear, nothing bad. I figured it to be another oil leak(stupid oil cooler). As soon as I clutched she died. I coasted into town. Temp guage showed on the hot side, so I let her cool down a bit. When I went to turn her back over I just heard some nasty clicking noise. I thought it to be the starter at first, but it didn't sound right. I later found it to be the timing belt rubbing on the crank pulley. With the valve cover off everything looks to be fine, yet I can't turn the gears over with a wrench like I could before. Who knows..... I guess this project will just have to wait a few more months until I can build up more capital.
