Even though I sold my VR4 this summer I thought I would pass along some contacts to the group.
For Parts: See or call the guys at METRO AUTO PARTS, 11801 W. Dearbourn Av., Wauwatosa, 414-259-4100. Mention my account #W001 and the discount should be significant. Dearbourn Av. is about 2 blocks South of Blue Mound Rd.
AMSOIL PRODUCTS: Contact Scott Swendson at
WWW.wisconsinsynthetics.com he has toll free numbers and talk to him and mention my name Mike Reagles. He said he would pass along my discount. Do not be put off by the prices on the website, talk to him. I used their 0W-30 in my 92 VR4 and never heard that lifter noise. I like their products and use it in everything I own. Not that this means much. His prices make it affordable.
MECHANIC: I found that Jim Baxter, a Tech from RENNER MITSUBISHI is working out of his garage in Pewaukee. Not to take anything away from JEFF here because he is a super guy and a great mechanic but Baxter will work on other makes too. He just did both rear wheel bearings on my Audi S4 for half the cost that others want for just 1. He has an add on Craigslist, Milwaukee, Services, Automotive, as an “ASE Mechanicâ€
