    Thumbs up Soon to be proud owner of...

    Hey guys, i found this site on google the other day after searching for ages for ideas for a new car.
    I currently drive an old EG civic ESi, and a clio Williams2 on the weekends.
    I was supposed to be inheritting my Exs 200sx S13, but after much deliberation etc i think it would be an unwise choice.
    Although the turbo bug has bitten me, and i am desperate for my next car to be a turbo, even if it isnt as insane as the 200sx.
    This is how i came to find this forum; i have always loved the look of the galant, but after reading some info on parkers price, was abit disapointed with the performance figures.
    Then after some digging i came across the Vr4 Import TT

    The next step was to get an insurance quote - well the 1st quote was SO cheap i did another, and another to make sure what i was reading wasnt .
    Considering this car is cheaper to insure than my current car (albeit alittle bit modified..) there is nothing standing in my way of owning one.

    My only other choice of vehicle i was to own was a R33 GTS-t ;-) Although the insurance was a massive deciding factor - infact the best quote i had was over 3times the quote ive had for the VR4 TT!

    SO here i am, searching for the perfect VR4, it has to be Manual, so im assuming it has to be an import as all the british specs ive seen so far are autos?!
    And thats about it really! lol
    Im based im East Anglia, so if anyone knows of any for sale around these parts drop us aline - although by the looks of things i may get my local tuner garage to source one for me.

    Is there anything that i should defiantly avoid, or anything that i should go for?Any help is appriciated, cheers guys Laura.

    Hi Laura, welcome to the club. Check out the For Sales section here. Chances are that if you buy from a member you know a little more about the history of the car and also that it has been looked after by the enthusiasts that we are.

    Manuals are pretty rare so may take you a while to find one for sale

    Hi Laura
    clubvr4.... we are all a very friendly bunch on here, so if you have any question fire away The VR4 is a fantastic car, can't fault it in any way ecxept maybe for fuel comsumption but that is to be expected and is far outwayed by the benifits of owning such a great car.
    Like funkster has already said... check out the for sale section on this site or maybe ask Mo ( Zedy1) as he has quite a few to sell and may have what you are looking for.
    again and happy shopping

    Looks like a nice black manual, perfect.

    Check the auction sheet for damage & repairs, ive seen quite a few repaired ones go through.

    Also, dont pay over the odds...
