Ive never seen chrome VR4 headlights.
Hi! Been a long time since I posted here.
Anyway, the VR4 is already here in the PI, I only have to pay it in full and it's mine
I have a few questions re: the SVR4. I hope the 8g members here canb help me. I'm planning to make mine a close enough replica of a Silver SVR4.
Here are the questions:
- what is the official name of the color of the Silver Super VR4? I know that the Red is Mica palma Red..but nobody in the other boards that I'm frequesnting seems to know the official name of the Silver version.
- what is the official name of the RECARO seat type found on the SVR-4? Others are also stumped too. They only say RECARO seats...but what type or RECARO racing seats?
I'm targeting this look, this SVR4 inspired me to have my 8g transformed into one...I was quite devastated to find out only weeks earlier that the car was totaled in an accident years ago.
- Does, anybody know what the Silver color is on this epic SVR4?
- What is the name of the RIMS on it? again, my co-members are stumped as to the make and type of the RIMS.
Btw, I'm going to update my thread...finally he's here after months of waiting

bless you bro! Muah! You're the only guy that came up with that sweet-sweet official RECARO SEAT CODE
reelax@
Thanks also for the info re: the headlights being color coded.
qcustoms@
nice project bro. i'll be following your SVR4 build.
Hmmm...where did you get the RECARO seats, carpet and the steering wheel?
I'm still lacking also a lot of things:
- SVR4 Body kit
- RECARO SEATS
- carpet
- MOMO STEERING WHEEL with Airbag
For now i'll keep the INVECS II. I'll change it to Manual as the final piece of the project.
i specialize in parts for the Generation 8 legnum galants so i source them for people..
but being complete super parts ie carpet,wheel,and 1 extra bit when making a super replica is the speedo,note its purple haze round the numbers compared to a standard 1

Why does this tickle my fancy..
qcustoms@
I didn't know that Purple haze thingy. Thanks for the info. i thought I have to change mine in the future
Are there plenty more SVR4 seats out there? and the Momo Airbag steering wheel too?

it tickles your fancy because the SVR4's uber cool!
Question!
What's the difference between an 8g Galant, Aspire and Viento?
There were two dealer channels in Japan, "Galant" and "CAR Plaza". Galant was sold "Galant" dealer and Aspire was sold "CAR Plaza" dealer. They are same car but have some differences, headlight color, tail light color, emblem color and more.
Then Viento was the VR4 look grade. Almost exterior parts are the same as VR4's but 1.8L(or 2.4L) I4 engine without turbo.

the super dash has the purple haze and as you can see yuours does not have it,smal ltouches make the biggest differences ey

Yup, I can see that now...gosh...I didn't realize that I needed more SVR4 parts sigh!
I can now relate to my fellow 8g friends here in the PI as to how hard they're trying to look for parts to make their 8g PHDM Galant's into a VR4...at least mine is not that complicated...I have to find only parts...rare parts that is sigh!

Thnaks bro for the explanation!
judging by your fuel guage id say the sender unit is faulty for the light to be on with so much fuel stil lin it..

I wish I had the cash to import a real VR4. RHD isn't illegal in the US, just needs to meet the overdone safety regulations. As for emissions, (I know they don't meet it) nothing a tune can't fix. Oho...
But hey, I can dream...can't I?
Skyforger@
Don't worry bro, just keep on dreaming...one day it'll come true...look at me...took me 14 years of dreaming to finally have one...and it was a combination of luck, chance and good will for me to finally achieve this guy.

So how's Mante's VR4 doing? Great i hope so.
I'm quite surprised that the VR4's never reached the US...it's the US for goodness sakes and no VR4's? I'm quite surprised by this info.
Too bad I have to convert mine into a LHD sigh! I wish there's a way to retain it.
