Hi all.

My mates driving me potty going on about them.Anyone know anything about them, so i can en/discourage him? :thumbup1: Are they thirsty? reliable? fun?

They're nice motors mate

 

a friend of mine had two

ye nice car, i want a white estate VR4

That was my last car before the z.

 

They are thirsty (very low 20s), mine was reliable, excellent fun. One bad point is they nearly always sound tappety on tickover, some worse than others. Most owners just live with it, but it did irk me.

 

They are very complex, with wacky suspension, and excellent handling.

 

Thoroughly recommended as a stealthy estate car, stick 5 adults, luggage etc, and it is still a quick car.

 

As a guide I sold mine for £1600, a few scuffs here and there, but solid. Pay around 2.5k for a minter

 

There is a club http://www.clubvr4.com

dont they have the GTO motor ?

dont think so....legnums are normally 2.5 twin turbo 280bhp :D

a friend of mine has the vr4 saloon version. very juicy in auto format!! tbh i have never been impressed with the power of it!

dont think so....legnums are normally 2.5 twin turbo 280bhp :D

 

yea but a V6 transversly wedged with 2 turbos...think and sure they are a smaller capacity but same as the GTO

I looked into these a while ago, very complex car, have the active

yaw control like the evo's. In fact they are almost the same as an evo

underneath it all... awesome road holding.

As said before... very thirsty, also when the autobox lets go it mega bucks!

Reckon he'd be better off with a Subaru Legacy.

Same chassis as an early Evo I believe.

 

Engine is 260 in the early variant, and I believe 280 in the newer facelift model.

 

Lovely tiptronic box, and lovely V6 howl when revved.

 

Amazing fun in the snow (turn the TC off), mine was my daily drive for all of last winter.

Cheers guys.... er, any tuning tips?
