things that bother me


I like the look of the car but hate teh cream interior

I have driven a 2wd 400bhp car for almost a year so I'm wondering if teh drop in power will bother me, the 2wd didn't have the traction so maybe the 4wd will seem at least as fast low end anyway.

[psbarham]

the cream looks better in real life , the photo's don't do it justice , the lack of power will be bit of a let down for you until you reach the first roundabout and you feel the ayc work , first time you see the 3 little lights you will love it even more

I took a bloke out in my VR on Saturday, who was used to 500bhp 2wd Cossies and now owns a 300+bhp 2wd R33, soon to be banging on the door of 500bhp. He said that the VR felt faster than his R33 and if he had tried to drive his R33 like i drove the VR round the twistys ? It would no longer be in 1 piece :2thumbsup

With a few gadgets added to a VR, you won't be lacking in power :evilgrin:

Podman, this^ is the guy to talk to for comparisons (IIRC) Wodj got his VR4 after owning a v. fast Rover, his is also one of the faster ones on the forum.

Have some ideas for you and will reply to your PM tomorrow morning.

Cheers

....the 2wd didn't have the traction so maybe the 4wd will seem at least as fast low end anyway.

6 seconds to 60 (5 with a boost controller and exhaust) when the rain is lashing down is an impressive thing indeed!! IMO traction is the main thing the VR4 has in it's advantage, especially in the rain. The power delivery and handling mean everything happens in a very controlled way. I would imagine in the dry that the VR4 will seem a bit tame compare to a 400+BHP car, but in the wet it will out perform a whole load of cars that it has no right to.

Brunty's car is a facelift, which means it has 280 rather than 260 bhp as standard, but also the newer hub-carriers. The bonus of the hub-carriers is that they will take Evo brembos. Thus a cheap easy to find brake upgrade is easily had!

Comfort, style, performance, traction, value for money. Sums up the VR4 for me!

Good luck viewing the car.

/ends the sales rant!!

[Podman]

I have an Apexi AVCR left over from my previous car, that I guess would do as the boost controller. What boost can they be set too and what is taht compared to standard ?

[Nutter_John]

Hi Podman

The default setting is around 0.5-0.7 bar - most boosters run around 1 bar with no issues .

If you are free tomorrow why not come down to Mallory Park and see what they handle like on the track

Must back what people say about Brunty's car it is very nice indeed

[Brunty]

Still available.

:2thumbsup

[richy rich]

it didnt sell then steve:inquisiti

[Podman]

I'm afraid not, nought wring with it really, nothing more than what he told me anyway. Just decided the VR4 wasn't for me. Sorry Steve. Best of luck with the sale.

[Brunty]

Now with 6months tax

[Brunty]

Now with 6months Tax, four new tyes.

Bit more flexibility on price.

It's all good!:evilgrin:

[Ransom]

Cheers

Hiya

Only selling it because I've got the opportunity to buy a Legnum (Estate) I really like, perfectly happy with the car - perfectly happy with VR4s.

I'm the third owner - original history Mitsubishi, Oil suppliers from about 35k and me from approx 45. Fuly stamped service history bar one minor service (for which I have receipts) done with the assistance of VR4 guru Nick Mann.

I've had the car about two years now it is well known to the club - any further questions just ask (although I won't be on the site much during the coming week as I'm working away from home) pm, mobile and email in the first post on this thread.

:2thumbsup

[Brunty]

All you guys wanting to visit/inspect/test drive the car will have to wait for a while as it will be with WRD until after the weekend being serviced.

Four new tyres have reduced the road noise and improved the ride.

:happy:

[Brunty]

MOT - passed! 12 months before the next owner has to get it tested (if they hurry up!!!).

New front brake pads and service performed by WRD!

My God I should be putting the price up not down!!!

[ciderisgr8]

Sounds like a bargain if ever I saw one :deal2:
Good luck with the sale

[ritch_w]

How much is it Steve? - price seems to have got lost in the thread. Might help any potential buyers out there!

good luck!

Just to announce the car will be back in Autotrader after Christmas and back on Pistonheads when I get round to it. The adverts expired.

[scc]

Hows does it compare with Wodjno's VR4?

:evilgrin:
scc

[Brunty]

Wodjnos is an awesome car - however the facts are that although he overtook me at Japfest 2 I quickly overtook him back and the results of the JTuner session are there for all to see.

[Kieran]

Brunty - I've tidied up the thread a bit for you. Let me know if you want it pruning any further.
