-☼-Car History:-☼-
Car History: I don't even know where to start. I have owned several of these cars as many of you reading this probably know. I've had some back luck and the last car I had ended up with a blown engine due to a bad powder coated plenum purchased from latenight custom. After losing my job just before this happened I had no money to get the car fixed and needed money for things like a place to live so I ended up parting the car out. I figured this would be a good time start from a clean state. I was never a big fan of the RT back end so I wanted to get another Vr4. First I purchased a 92' sandstone SL so I would have a daily driver to look for a job as well as get me to and from work once I found one. Bought a project car that was pretty beat front end damage [but the frame was ok] torn interior etc. So I torn the car down and fixed it up. 99' conversion, the 2 piece lip from the stealth, bomex sideskirts, the 3SX combat wing from the stealth etc etc, then had the car repainted the original sandstone color.
Eventually found a job and started working while I continued to part out the stealth. When I had a bit of money saved up I started car shopping. My budget wasen't great so I was looking for a good deal. Ended up finding a 92' vr4 in PA. It needed a bit of work on the outside but the engine was replaced recently and I planned on changing all the cosmetics anyway so I bought it and had the car shipped out the CA. Unfortunetly PA has a lot of snow and there ended up being rust under the car. Having a part out car in my driveway I just started swapping parts. Swapped the struts and installed my tein springs, replaced the whole exhaust system, bought another CF Driveshaft and replaced that etc etc. Now it was time to start with the outside. The last thing I was working on on the stealth was the engine bay, so I figured that's what I would start with this time. Went with a chrome plenum this time from a local shop so I knew it would be done right, from there powder coated valve cover again from a local shop. Now that I had the basics out of the way I wanted to go with a hard pipe kit, so I purchased the DNP, from there I found numerous polished accessories to compliment the rest of what was under the hood, then the metallic blue wire dress up kit so it would not just be chrome and polished pieces under the hood.
From there I went to the interior. I've never been a big fan of brown so it all went. Carpet, seats, headliner, visors, everything. Replaced it with the charcol carpet, headliner and visors, then black and blue seats, e-brake boot, shift boot etc. Blue L.E.D's in the lights, reverse indiglo gauges with blue needle glow kit and more. Built a sound system out of MDF, and vinyl to go in the trunk, replaed the speakers and so on.
On the exterior I wanted to do something different. Pretty much all of my cars have had 99' front ends and sidekirts. I finally opted for the 99' sails to have the complete 99' package, but I wanted a tiwst, something different to set my car apart from other cars with 99 front ends. Aside from the lip and parts you could buy I decided to take on a project. I went with 94' stealth headlights for the robo look, painted the inner housings black and the lens rings daytona blue to compliment the paint on the car, another reason for going with the 94' style lights was so I could do something I've been wanting to try for sometime. Integrated eyelids on the hood. The concept has been thrown around on 3SI for a while back when Jay did the photoshop. I had actually had the idea from my old car club before I even saw the photoshop, but the photoshop inspired me. Seemed like I never had time to do that sort of a project though. Finally one day I was on here and say Disrupters sig pic which was a 97/98 front bumper with the integrated eyelids, so I messeged him asking if he had done it or if it was a photoshop. He told me it was a photoshop but he was playing around with ideas on how to do it. I told him I was looking into doing the same thing and we exchanged ideas and I finally got the motivation to try it. I had a daily driver SL to drive around while working on the project and I purchased a back up hood [Deftracing Top Secret] incase it didn't work out for whatever reason. End result was what you see in the pictures today. A one of a kind vr4 built from the ground up in front of my house into a show car. The car continues to be modified all the time as this is my hobbie, the next step is to purchase the 19T turbo set up as my friend is selling his set up to go with a large single. So hopfully I will see you guys at the track in a year or so.
