Just saw this and thought someone might be keen. Would still need to pay for ORC and shipping, but I thought that wasn't too bad a price.

I'd get it if I didn't have a Legnum already. :)

[Lurch]

If only I hadn't already bought a legnum ;) Although I prefer the two tone all leather interior.

[ShadyNZer]

can someone explain what a super vr4 is?

[i3ooyah]

the same as a normal vr4 but with exterior & interior differences.

as far as i know the engine specs r the same

[ShadyNZer]

chur....

[dickytim]

Super VR4 as far as I know has bigger brakes, deeped body kit and the recaro interior and seems to be the 1998 pre facer lift version, may be some one else can elaborate

[Kyoshu]

Not entirely sure of the difference either. I think they come with an added spoiler kit, 17's, upgraded brake kit, Mom0 s/wheel instead of the Nardi Torino & recaro interior. But power is still 206Kw.

I read somewhere that they are a bit lighter as well, but don't quote me on that. :)

[Lurch]

The one on that page has the same brakes as my VR-4 :) I'm thinking it's mainly the interior and body kit :)

Never use to like them, but they are starting to grow on me. Might look into prices on the body kit ;) Although removing the standard Legnum spoiler might be fun :(

Don't you guys think the airbag is a bit funny on that car? :thinking:

As far as i know a SuperVR4 is mechanically the same as a normal VR4, but with different bodykit and interior.

Johnah, yeah it is actually now that you mention it. This car did in fact come to NZ, I've seen it on trademe. It was there for a long time before it sold. Still had the same wheels on it.

Paul - some of the guys were a bit wrong in their posts above :) Obviously there is the body kit difference, the red carpet, momo and recaro's, red handbrake, and they were all Auto's. They also only had 260hp because they area prefacelift auto. They came with the factory 16" prefacelift wheels and had stock brakes. The only things they had to increase performance was the Ralliart spoiler and suspension, although I have seen one in this country with stock VR-4 suspension, not sure what was going on there.

They also have the "Ralliart" Fujitsibo 3 inch cat-back exhaust

your wrong Rossco Type-S

Ralliart and Fujitsubo are completely different companys,

its JUST a Ralliart exhaust, (bolt on back box) on the stock system

not a FGK (Fujitsubo) which is a complete 3" aftermarket system (including tuned length headers if you very lucky)

[d i c k i e s]

yeah this car was in NZ and on trademe aswell. but the rims were differernt. it had the standard ones. it was going cheap to on trademe . Under $10k

OK thought it was a ful system. Are you sure that the ralliart back-box is not a Fujitsubo? Looks the same!

My old car had the full Fujitsubo 3" system which VTNZ were convinced was a factory option, so it flew through compliance.

An that would be "YOU'RE wrong" and Companies Gly :-P

[Gly]

yeh i cant spell, and my grammer sucks! i admit that :P
engrish is my second language!

still you`re wrong,
the fujitsubo is not a factory option,

go to my cvr4 car gallery theres a pick of the fujitsubo system in there

also here http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/search/prod-v.php3?prodID=000000000000000794&cnamID=00000315

the ralliart one may have been an option, never the fujitsubo.
but looks nothing like the fujitsubo,
the ralli art one looks alot closer to the stock oval body muffler that most vr4s come with

also the FGK system is Jasma approved, which means its up to japanese emmission and noise specs,
which are alot tighter than our nz ones, so should go flying thru the compliance anyways

[Gly]

theres what the ralliart one looks like

Actually I meant to type exhaust instead of spoiler, I wasn't really thinking :)

Dickies, I disagree about the wheels, I did see this car on trademe with those exact wheels. Still it is difficult to say for sure, there is always one or two super's on trademe.

[d i c k i e s]

im sure it had normal alloys, anyway....

current Super VR4's on trademe at the moment.
