RX 4 Speed

Well, April 1st is when insurance officially kicks in... but I couldn't help but get her ready for it. It's always nice getting a break in winter. So when a freak 50 degree day hits, I turned the water on and gave her a wash. I decided to take some pics while I was at it. Sorry if the photos are bad. I was rushing and the camera I have really sucks anyways... Oh, I also took her out around the block to feed the craving...

Spring is just around the corner... can't wait.

What's that white stuff on the ground - is that the "snow" that I've heard of?

Looks good!

Very clean, I will be just like you and I move to AK, car will be stored for the winter...which is ok since I can do the winter project's...

RX 4 Speed

thanks guys... yeah, I hate that white stuff (both snow AND salt) on the ground. It's there almost 6 months out of the year. It sucks that I only get to drive it 1/2 the year. But hey, it keeps the miles off, plus I get to work on the winter projects, AND I keep looking forward to any and every time I get to sit behind the wheel!!!

Hey what kind of catback is that? I think I might have the same one as you, but when I bought my car the guy didnt know what it was. Thanks.

I can't possibly imagine living in a place where I can't drive my car for 4 months out of the year.

Nice car BTW

Hehe, I hate you, I'm moving to florida too...

looks clean! I too just took mine out today for the first time in 3 weeks. I hate the snow

Wow. That's a gorgeous Vintage Red. How did you keep it so red? lol The one I bought is faded like crazy.

RX 4 Speed

thanks guys... yes, it's mostly stock save for reliability mods. The stock look is the purddiest, IMO

CGotto6 - - It's an HKS catback. You're the 2nd person to say we have the same exhaust I love my HKS. It's not loud and obnoxious, yet gets throaty under WOT. Prolly comparable to RB duals?

Montego - - Thanks man... although it's more like 6-7 months out of the year. I take advantage of the weather as soon as the snow and salt is clear. I can't stand that stuff on my car. It still sucks though that I can't enjoy it the whole year I might consider moving south someday... as job permits.

FadedFD - - Yes, that is the original Vintage Red. It's a 93 and always meticulously taken care of. I guess I was also blessed in that my paint (for a 93) did not have any defects like immediate fading or peeling. I heard this was common to some 93's. It's always waxed, never rained on or snowed on, so I guess that helps. My camera sucks too it doesn't show the real red. The photo on my VB garage was taken by my buddy's camera and that's a lot better...

I don't know, that red looks incredible. Very nice ride and I love the stock chromies. You are totally opposite from me, I park mine during the summer! Washing a car with snow around, unbelievable.

Nathan Kwok

RX 4, do you by any chance have the hi-reflex paint option? I have it on my car and I noticed I don't suffer from the fading problems like most other VR cars either. I've only found a couple other people that have it so I don't know if its just a concidence or if its related.

RX 4 Speed

lol... must be nice to actually park it because of the excessive heat, and not the cold It's always cold here. Thanks though... the stock chromes must stay. I always somehow talk myself out of aftermarket rims because these are perfect... lightweight already.

Hey Nathan... I have never heard of hi-reflex paint. Was that an option available from the dealer? I don't believe mine has it... Has anyone else heard of this? Can someone elaborate?

Thanks so much. I have seriously been trying to figure this out for the good part of a year that I have owned the car. I have been being forced to say that is just has a "cat back" on it of some sort. BTW, car looks great. Makes me realize why theres a '93 VR R1 parked in my garage. Keep it clean!

RX 4 Speed

no prob... I will try to. Can't wait till this spring and summer. Hey, post pics of yours or other VR's out there too

DGblk93

Alright - it's not a VR, but it came out in the snow recently too. Gotta get it out when you can!

adictd2b00st

almost there.........this has been a looooong winter i'm sick of driving a 100hp corolla around

Senna

Do they use salt where you are? I wouldn't take a million bucks to move back to Ohio. The salt is a killer. Not to mention 6 months of freekin' winter....well practically. And about 30 days of sunshine each year.

RX 4 Speed

Nice car man... glad to see another person being patient with the snow

Are those RB duals? sweet... Also, are you planning to get a lip?

ptrhahn

iTrader: (9)

Got mine out in between snows to run some errands for the wifey...

DGblk93

Thanks man. Definetly a new lip in the very, very near future. Actually- I've decided to go 99 front and lip. My bumper has some dimples on it from wearing a front liscence plate most of it's life in another state
Yes - that is my RB dual tip. I installed a full 3'' exhaust from the turbo back and I love the RB.

^ About the bumber, in fact - I am looking at exactly what ptrhahn has there on his beauty. I love it. Is that a Rotary Extreme version?

RX 4 Speed

sweet... you'll be all set when you go 99. Let me know how that goes... I keep thinking about going 99 spec too, but when I look at my 93 spec, I keep thinking, "Why change it? It looks good, and is classic."... but you never know. I love both looks I guess...

Hey Ptrhahn, what rims and specs are those? That has a gunmetal finish? I am torn between gunmetal and chrome finishes. If I get new rims, those are definitely what I would consider. Are they SSR's? Sweet car by the way... I do errands for the wife too, but in my daily driver!
