Also if changing the rear plugs is so hard for you get a custom intake manifold. Oh better yet hard to work on? Try deleting all the crap like emissions and get rid of stock intercoolers and theres plenty of room. As for pricey? No they aren’t if they were how would so many freaking 16yr olds be building them up? Hmm wasn’t this post started to help ssdragon deciede if he should get a vr4 for his girl? I doubt he would by a custom intake, delete emissions and swap out the side mount intercoolers since it wasn’t going to be a project/race car. Just a daily for his girl who could care less about all that crap. As for 16 yr olds owning these, They should thank there parents for showing them the ideals of working for what you want! Quick ebay look and there are 6 cars but only 2 of them have buy it knows and one is 10k and the other 14.5k! wow I wish i could’ve afforded that when I was 16 washing fucking dishes! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/buying-a-1999-3000gt-vr-4-changing-tranny-to-automatic/196166)._
