Lex's Galant VR-4

As many of you know, I've been dying to get back into the scene. I didn't want to do another DSM per say, and I defiantly wanted a sleeper of sorts (due to my history of having cars stolen, or robbed/vandalized). The search was on for a clean STOCK GVR4. I may have found the last one on earth. I picked up a 1992 GVR4 today. I'll be doing a full build thread in the moderator section, but for now I thought I'd share her with my online family........

Dam congrats on the find! Im sure you wont have any issue fitting a 4 point baby seat in the back of that in the future. Any chance you will share what you paid?
Re: The new HOPE

Good find. I look forward to the posts as you progress.

Congrats on finding a clean one.
Re: The new HOPE

I will say the car is pretty clean. Little bit of cleaning and she will shine.

ANd who put the stupid 45mph sticker on the U-Haul fender. Dont they know you can do 80mph with there trailers.


It was a fun road trip to pick it up! HARDIES BURGERS FTW

Nice find, hope you got a good deal on it as fast car prices are in the dumpster. Perfect time to pick up project cars.

Re: The new HOPE

Congratulations!
Re: The new HOPE

Beautiful car, good luck with it & welcome back!
Re: The new HOPE

I found one for sale about 3 hours away from me...I have never really looked for one but I wouldn't mind having one as seeing how they are rare and have the 4g63. That is cool. gsxlex, what do you think of this one? is the asking price kind of on the spendy side? I can't really judge this soley on kbb.

Re: The new HOPE

Man, I look forward to seeing what happens with this car. Congrats on the find.
Re: The new HOPE

Lex, you must be so pumped. I would love to have time and money for a vr4...So big guy, what are your plans for it? Any Ideas? From the picture posted that thing is CLEAN. And yeah you hit the sleeper nail on the head with this find. I hope it stays that color.

EDIT: WEE, I CAN READ.
The purpose of this car is not to chase down a number, but to revive a passion. My goal is to race this car, and make it fun
And good call with the water to air. Keeping the car looking as is... is going to make me smile, for what that's worth.

I'm very familiar with the Drive train and powerplant of the car but this is the first Vr4 that I've owned so I'm learning a lot. My plans for this car is to clean it relatively stock looking. From the outside, I want it to look like a SLIGHTLY lowered, completely stock GVR4. I want to keep the stock wheels (again STOCK LOOKING) for daily driving but get a set of beefy track wheels. I plan on completely refreshing the drivetrain (engine, rear, trans, etc) but I am not going to turn this into a track only car. I want to enjoy driving this around on a semi-daily basis. I haven't decided what I am going to do for fuel management yet.

I plan on starting a build diary and documenting all of this.

Casey, From my search the is what I've observed. They seem to go for around $4k, in clean (stock) condition. If the car has been modded in a bad way (i.e. the car is really beat up and abused, You can pick one up for around 2.5-3.5k (clean shell goes for around 1.5-2k). IF you have the money and want to buy a very clean and nicely modified one (like the one that currently for sale in the classifieds), they are out there and can fetch a very hefty price.



Thanks everyone for all the positive comments, This community is a big motivation for me to do this.

The GVR4s are ridiculous sleepers. Good job on the find!
Re: The new HOPE

Saw this yesterday and it is CLEAN! I was really impressed to see one in this shape with factory paint.

I know this car will bring Lex many a good time.
