well yeah, but realize that your VR is ment for an entirely different purpose than my acura is....

I bought my acura with the intention that it'd last another 5-6 years and 150+ K miles... Ferry my fiancee to and from school, as well as take us on our roadtrip vacations.

My budget was 5500 dollars and for what I paid for this car I think I got the best I could for the money.

Now If I had owned a stock car would these mods have been worth it in the grand scheme? Probabally not, but when Vapor built the car, he had gotten it for 2500 bucks, but it had a blown (hydrolocked) motor, so its only natural to replace with ITR pistons since they are the same as GSR in cost. The AEM intake was used, the RS*R exhaust wasn't necessary but he didnt want to be limited on the high end where the JDM DC sports 4-1 (still kinda cheap since the donor car had a 4-2-1 on it that was sold I think) was helping. Injectors were to richen it out along with the FPR and fpr guage (safety).. SO really everything was kinda needed for this car anyway, and it turned out to be a great daily driver 4 door that ran a 14.6....

Personally I like it because my dad back in 1997 got his GSR coupe, and I drove it for 6 months between having my red Z31 turbo and my Black T78 blown Z31.... I grew fond of it, and now I get to relive those exciting 2-3 shifts (GS-R's can really bang a hell of a 2-3 shift, and it sounds awesome) that in this race got me about 2 feet each shift 2-3 and 3-4.

So maybe in fort myers sometime we can meet up. I'm sure you'll win (we dont have to race) but I just wanna see a VR6 turbo, havent really come across any FI besides superchargers on them. Curious to see!
