Default Bought 2nd Stealth in the last month.











The color looks different depending on how you view it. Stock 91TT needing motor rebuilt.

I don't have pics of the first one yet. It's at my house. The pics of the 2nd one are from the seller. I'll get my son to take some pics of the 92 and I'll post them up.

How much if you don't mind me asking, I've recently been looking for some fun project turbo cars and these have fallen in my radar as well as the 3000gt vr4, and 300zx turbos

I paid $6000 for the 92 Green Stealth that I bought first and $1300 for the 91 Burgundy one. I couldn't pass up the second one even though I wasn't really looking to buy another Stealth. I bought it as a parts car as the motor needs rebuilding but the rest of the car is in such good shape I think I'll put one of my good motors that I already have in it and drive it/sell it. Decent ones with 150,xxx miles or less are selling for around $3-4K right now. I still see people asking $20K for them but I don't think anyone in their right mind is willing to pay that much for one. 3000GT VR4's are selling for quite a bit more than the Stealths. I don't know why but they are.

Subjective, but probably because the VR-4 style is preferred.

Compared to other 90s Japanese sports cars, the 3s was underappreciated underdog, which was great for us enthusiasts because the price/performance can't be beat. Yes, it doesn't hold a candle to the NSX in style, but can tear it up on the road when built right.

I sold my BPU VR-4 last weekend. Sad to see it go, but happy for the new owner who I hope finishes the build to a 500+ awd beast.

That 1st gen looks pretty nice - would like to see the finished build.

I'll document both cars on here. The 92 is far from stock with all the running gear pretty much new and an LSD in the front dif and a stainless steel housing on the transfer case. It's upgraded with a 93 crank but still has the two bolt main block. It's got an aftermarket turbo kit using the 16g's from an Evo III and a huge front mount. It was making 559 to the tires breaking up in the higher RPM's on the dyno right before it was parked 9+ years ago. I'm going to attack this one like I did my old 93 back in the day and get it down to around 3300 pounds or so and get it up to as close to 700 AWHP as possible using the current parts. It's just a fun car project to play with and pass on to my oldest son that's taken a great interest in the platform. The 91 will probably end up being sold or a daily driver for my youngest son that's just turned 16.
