The car has travelled about 220,000 (from memory) I'm at work at the moment so I'm not absolutlely sure. The car is drivable- but because of the accident damage I'm a bit wary because the oil cooler and filter were in the line of fire- so Im a bit worried it might spring a nasty leak and dump its oil. The clutch was slipping under boost, but its not so bad its stopping the car being driven. Basically before the accident it hadnt been driven regularly for about 18months, so there were a few things like the clutch that I had left rather than fix. You are more than welcome to com and have a look in Box Hill. Call me on 0434 574 983 after 6 or email me to organise a time.
 
You've already got a vr4 dre. :p

I want a new one... and I have all the parts to fix that in my shed right now. So basically it's super cheap.

tell me what you think of it, i'm going to go see it on the weekend I think.

Okay I went to go and see it, left my digi cam at home. (doh)

Its definately been tinkered with, its got rangi (budget) intercooler wrap, boost tap, budget VDO boost gauge, cut down truck cooler, EVO zort manny, exhaust with crappy muffler, shitty tints, NARDI s/wheel.

The interior looks like its been sitting with the windows down for the last 18 months. definately needs attention there. its done 226,000kms. The drivers side dogled needs a paint, there's a crack in the rockercover which has been dogily fixed, a make shift catch can, boost tap, turbo XS b.o.v.

The car itself it quite straight besides the damage at the front, its kind of hit and miss though, the guy wouldnt let me take the front bumper off to inspect the damage even further- he also wouldnt let me take it for a drive. He slowly let slip that he knew what he was on about when it came to cars, which made me think the damage is worse than what it actually looks, underneath the bumper. The hit to the radiator support panel didnt really match the damage to the f/bumper, almost like he's taken the bumper off, and put it back on himself. The guards look ok, but its hard to tell without pulling it to bits.

If I was to buy the car (which I probably wont) i'd definately give the engine the once over- compression/leak down test, and pull the front off to check the damage out for sure.

apart from that, with some TLC, time and money, you could pick yourself up a working VR4 and get it registered for under $5k.

thought you might like to know (entaran)

Printed the above, i'll take it with me when troy and I go see it on saturday. Gonna give it one hell of a once over and see how I go. Might make the guy an offer in the mid 2k's range. There's zero bids on ebay and it doesn't seem to be getting much attention.

I have pretty much all the parts I need bar the thin nose thingy in my shed so will be cheap for me I think. We'll see how I go.

I think i'll take my compression tester with me.
 
Dont forget it needs a new gearbox or gearbox rebuild, and a new clutch.

apparently there has been alot of intrest in it, there were 2 others that came and saw it today

you could easily wreck it for $3k

goodluck lorrie

Got a gearbox sitting on the shelf. I'd have to inspect it tho.

Got a transfer too.

Would have to buy a clutch, but you can get regular clutches for under 400.


We'll see how we go. I won't bid on it on ebay, even if I like it, i'll wait for ebay to go thru and then offer him mid 2's I think at best. Probably less if it's more fucked.
