    great video. My 91 vr4 is over at REMY's RIdes in GA
    I have like 8K worth of parts going into the car... Hes rebuilding the engine from block up . Its needed alot of stuff to get it back to road worthy as the previous owner didnt do the right repairs and upgrades.

      I bought a crashed VR-4 and will take out both engine and transmission to put it into my base model since engine and transmission are dying, wasn't taken care of before I got it.

    The worst part is lying on your back messing with the pedals… maybe even worse than that is when you’re fabricating the clutch master hole in the firewall.

    You should make a video going over how to do the neutral safety bybass re pin and hooking up brake lights. That would be so helpful. Also I'm currently dropping my atx tranny, but it's hitting against the engine bay side wall closest to the passenger side. I cannot clear it. Help!

      You have to drop the torque converter with the transmission. It sounds like you are trying to pull the transmission off of the torque converter. Yes after we posted the video we noticed we left that part out we can make a follow up video for it for sure.

    Glad mine came with the 5-speed. And i recently did a full build on the engine.All the rot ont hat thing. Lucky enough that mine was a scottsdale AZ car..Minimal rust. Paints faded but the body and chassis is as solid as they come.

      I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if a prior owner upgraded interior bits to make it more SL like, or could you get the leather seats in the base model?
