#945, "VR-4 or GS-T what should I do?"




          

So I got my VR-4. Had it for a month, that car is FAST! But then again they are expensive to modify and heavy as all hell and can't break into the 9s for shit, considering the Twin Turbo set-up.

No one wants my GS-T or has the money for it. ($2500!!!)I was considering putting it in storage and then when the spring time comes, modding the ever living crap out of it, maybe a good EVO 3 set-up, BPU's and some other stuff.

As for the VR-4, I'm working on getting a good sound system together, and not touching the engine. Boost controller, cat-back exhaust, thats what, 350-375HP crank? I'm happy with that!

Call me crazy, but that red GSX i posted about, came to my work. I detailed her and worked on her all week. Ended up being sold today for $4,000! 54K on a '97 GSX 5-speed mechanically MINT for $4,000! WTF?!?!? and yes, sold to a girl, who has no idea how to drive, but just liked the sweet look of an Eclipse... WTF?!? I had to vent, sorry!

So, is it cool if I mod the crap out of my GS-T and keep 2 turbo cars? I can afford the insurance, the VR-4 payments, and the mods for BOTH cars! Would modding my Eclipse get me to sell it easier? Bah, I need some input, thanks guys, Nick

I can tell you right now I would never buy a car with any aftermarket parts on it unless I personanly knew the driver. A car with performance parts has most likley been run pretty hard, why else would they be on there. From a finacial standpoint you could dump another 2500$ in performance parts into it and it still would'nt be worth anymore. If you want to sell it, sell it stock if you still have your old parts and sell the performance stuff, you will never get as much out of a car as you put into it.

No, not really. Mods just mean you have to take a loss in money when selling it really.


'95 GSX - Big16G ~ Leaks, but atleast it runs.

i'm kicking myself for not saving my GST stock exhaust. I don't think i'll un-do the 16g mod, though, but its not going to really help me much in selling my eclipse...

Stock is 300HP on 9psi of boost, Dynamic Racing rates their stage 1 upgrade, an intake and boost controller set to 15psi at about 365HP. I have 3" cat-back and a boost controller set to 15psi... so I've figured I'm around there somewhere. Maybe I have only 301HP @ crank, but either way my VR-4 fucking romps!

Or did you guys think I was talking about my GS-T?!?

I just need to get rid of my GS-T. The mods are intake, racing clutch/flywheel and a-pillar with gauges and 2 pioneer 6x9s in the back. Thats it, no exhuast, no boost controller, nothing spiffy or anything of the sorts... isn't $2500 cheap for a GS-T? Or are 2Gs now wicked cheap, cuz when I ebay'ed GS-T/Xs a year ago, people were selling 95s with the same mileage for over $4,000... and yes, they were modded too...

I think, from my personal experiance of knowing you, that you should def. not sell serena to just any person. But you shouldnt get rid of the VR4 either. Do what you said. Mod the GST in the spring, do it up big "ricer style" and make it faster then fast, but i think that you should use the VR4 for more of a show. hot system, fast, but not modded, sick interior.. chyeah know??

just my opinion.

or you could hold the GST until i get enough money, teach me standard and then sell it to me.. cuz i love it

I believe a few of us already told you that before you bought the car.
Obviously, you can't stand your Eclipse but are still a Mitsu fan. You can afford both cars and modify them. I'd say sell both of them, get an EVO, and be done with it.
BTW, stock crank horsepower on 3/S VR4s is 320hp with torque at 315.
