Agent 1051 in Modified Magazine

don't get why you quoted that part. or how mark would dislike someone mentioning his car as great example of gvr4 potential. /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/dunno.gif

simply pointing out that i thought these kids just happened to know a thing or two about the gvr4 when in fact one of them just read about them in modified.

edit: i realize what's going on... typo... for should be from.. woops my bad!!! the kid recommended parts FROM 1051's car for mine. /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/smile.gif sorry about that

 

I had this happen just the other night. Wierd part is I had just recently removed the badges from the trunk.

Anyway, My bud & I roll up to the local Gas N Sip to grab munchies, kid follows me into the store, he had been hanging with his buddies around a older 300zx w/ a bad ass body kit & neon /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/rofl.gif /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/rofl.gif, then procedes to start asking questions like a hyper active kid. Is that a vr4, just the engine or the whole thing, is that the same powertrain out of the 3000gt, ect...

First time a non owner has aproached me about the car. kinda cool but I like my un-known status. /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/dunno.gif

Same here. My friend and I were getting in the car and a guy w/2 friends standing around a rattlcanned black Civic hatch (w/red door jambs, engine bay, hatch, etc. /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/rofl.gif ) asked about it. "I was looking at the back of your car... is that a VR4?" /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/idea.gif Said he had a built 2G w/over 400 awhp, about to go 500 on his new $1600 EMS, but his sideways hat and Starter jacket made it hard to take him seriously.

I saw in the article some sort of claim about 450whp+, is there any basis for that?

They used the calculation of trap speed vs. weight of car from two years ago. I've never actually had the car on the dyno.

 

Need to get that pig back on the tarmac!

 

[turbowop]

Werd. I'll probably get back to the track next spring after I fix a couple small things over winter. If I don't, I'll never hear the end of it from all the other NWDSM guys up here. /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/blush.gif /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/grin.gif

BTW, thanks guys for all the support and comments. I really appreciate it. This has turned out to be a pretty cool deal. /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/smile.gif

So true /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/grin.gif

 

sh*t man. My neigbor just handed me a copy and I was like OH sh*t!!! Never even saw this thread /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/uhh.gif

Good stuff Mark. Very well deserved /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/worthy.gif

 

I got a copy the other day /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/smile.gif

 

[kitcho]

got my copy today. nicely done.

 

[Lancer99]

I have to go get me a copy too! O and congrats too!

 

[speedyvr4]

Ive had me a copy for a couple weeks now. I'm too lazy to read the rest of the 7 pages now. Article was great, I read it twice. Thats my 3rd vr4 mag. I also saved from the trash a car and driver from 96 including a article where the 2g mitsu gst,vs 95 ford probe gt, vs integra gs-r, vs 240 sx, vs talon tsi awd, vs prelude si, also had an article on the ubber rare 3000gt vr4 spyder. Getting off topic, sorry. I loved the article and it's a great example of how people should do up their vr4 should they need an 11 second beast to go to the groceries.

Somebody should post a list of all the gvr4 magazine articles

 

Got my copy on Friday and read it the second I got it home. 1st off - Mark your car looks awesome and great to see a galant vr4 in a mag. 2nd - It makes all other vr4s go up in value. 3rd - Belize Green is the best color. Final thoughts - one friend called to say holy sh*t one of those heavy old turd buckets made it into modified.

I finally found an issue (the last one) at Booksamillion on Sunday. Congrats Mark!
My wife was pleased to see that "keydiver" finally made it big! /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/grin.gif
She doesn't realize that "keydiver" gets you 9,490 hits on Google, "dsmchips" gets 1840, and "Jeff Oberholtzer" has 692 hits! /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/cool.gif

I found it wild that they cite the "Keydiver" chip just like them might mention AEM or DSMlink with no further explanation. Your product must be just as well known.
