I am in the process of putting "Melow Yellow" back on the road after a few years in storage with the occasional drive.
My car in a 94 VR4 which I have owned from new. It has 134,000 miles and had a very comprehensive go through at 120,000 miles (120K service + new oil and water pumps, new A/C (compressor, evaporator and core inside the car), new drive shafts, new wheel bearings, suspension bushings, Tein coil-overs, AP6pot front brake upgrade, many new sensors etc.
It ran great but I got into track-days on bikes so didn't get much use.
About 4 years ago it developed a low idle and became difficult to start when hot. I got the fish smell from the ECU so guessed it was bad.
So now I have decided to put it back on the road and started with the ECU. The old one was fried as you can see from the picture. I was amazed that it even ran let alone run as well as it did.
