holy pictures! The Z is by far the unique car there... The other two are nice as well, but will never beat a S30 in looks and style.

Did the VR4 lose the main bearing due to crankwalk? I've read that some 4g63's have a problem with that (usually the 2g 7 bolt engines though, not the 1g 6 bolt).

no crank walk. ut the motor was locked. and it is the 2G that has it "commonly" its almost never seen unless you upgrade your clutch and start doing AWD launches and was most only seen in the 2G but is estimated only like 5% actually see crank walk. its not as common of a problem they make it seem to be. its funny. every year they never had a perfect eclipse. early years had teh strong LSD rear, other had teh stronger front transfer case. all would have a weak part then, then the 2G used forged pistons but they had crank walk. and so on, and so on. only car thats been flawless with the 4G is the evo's. but now he is building the lower end with the 2G pistons so the compression will be upped a little and teh forged pistons will help alot. and tehy head will be bult. and he already has a good amont of parts around to make a mid to low 13's galant running on only a big 16G
