They get a bad rap because of morons who mod them with cheap parts without supporting mods. One things I can say for sure as a con is, they SUCK to do any sort of DIY work on. Holy fuck. ---

Iā€™ve got a friend with a VR4 that he has been putting work into for about a year. Added HIDs, recently bigger turbos (donā€™t know the specs) intercooler, new clutch, and probably some other stuff. He also got a set of reconditioned OEM chrome 18s and a new paint job with the factory dark green. Iā€™ve been trying to get him on this board but heā€™s lazy. I havenā€™t gone for a ride in it since soon after he first bought it, but Iā€™ll try and get some pics and specs. Nice ride, looks beautiful in red. ---

The problem is that they are: 1. Difficult to work on 2. EXPENSIVE aftermarket 3. In the hands of kids BTW, gorgeous paint. What Wax/Sealant?
