New to the game

alright, i just started in the modified scene with my 7g galant. I am looking at trading it in though toward a 3000gt vr4... any suggestions on which year to go with, any warnings, vehicle specific things to look out for, etc?

Welcome! 

welcome.... def get a 94 and above model.  the ones with flip up headlights are known for motor issues (I.E. spun bearings)

Yea, let me tell you about Ive got a 6G72 (same motor that the VR4 uses) in my 3G Eccy... and that thing is terrible
