Ok this is just to prove who's right. My gf today said she saw a VR4, namely VIP VR4. I said "yeah it's that silver sedan aye" (and I'm sure I'm right unless he's repainted) but she reckons it's white.

Who's right? Me or her??? :thinking:

NAUSED
20-12-2006, 06:57 AM
it is white dude.

shes right, sorry man.

Was it ever silver then? /Elmo

it's a white wagon, and vip vr4 is a red lettered number plate. I saw it at the start of december and it had white mags on it, and it didn't have a tailgate spoiler.

i don't think it was ever silver, but who knows.

Oh! Maybe I was thinking of VR4 R instead. Cher!

VIP VR4 was the one on that money TV show early in the year wasn't it. (I'm probably wrong once again lol)

Hmm well i think it had some VR4 related plate to go with it anyways. And yeah I reckon it musta been VR4 R. Cruises along Coronation road in Glenfield from time to time. Havn't seen in a while though

Interesting to see someone who is proud to take pics of their heavily modified engine bay like that. Will have to ask him to take it to Torque Performance for a dyno.

just noticed he upped his starting bid to $20,000 was at $15,000.
i dont see the point in buying that. u wont have much mods to do yourself? you want to enjoy doing things yourself.

damn 20k, ouddovit alright....ill prolly buy a car thats already modded when i catch mine up...

Not to mention it's been thrashed alot. As above he has a heavy foot on public roads and when on the strip he's obviously nailing it trying to better his time. Might've spent alot of money on it but sounds like a car that might be good to stay away from unless you have lots of money. Don't get me wrong it's a sweet car and all /toycar

i just wouldnt buy it period. i think theres a few cars on here that look better than his. but obviously his was modified to go fast. not soo much the looks.

the only things that stand out for me:
Carbon fibre bonnet, and prolly the engine bay (how its set up).

rims, not all that. body... not looked after.

Told you it was TD04s.

I don't like the interior setup at all.

NAUSED

i would disagree with you there, i kind of like his interior setup.

my 2 cents

:inquisiti Does anyone have that pic of the twin air filter setup he was running? I had a look at the old auction listing, but the pics are gone..

I think it was just two short pipes with pods where the factory airbox would be, but id be keen to have something to look at.
