I lucked out and picked up number 239/1000 1992 galant vr4.
There were many a people callin and wanting the car and kickin the tires.
but since i sold my subaru i had the cash, finally, right place at the right time.

Its pretty sweet already, 16g turbo, 3inch turboback, tuned eprom ecu, agx struts h&r springs.
so i have the 3000gt vr4, talon tsi, and galant vr4 in my driveway. fun.

anyone else on here with a galant vr4?

Galant VR4's may not be the prettiest, but damn are they sleepers. I want one just to hustle with. Haha

They aren't the best looking but neither are the EVOs either. I'd take a Galant VR-4 over an EVO any day because they are definitely sleepers. Very few people know what they are and you'd probably rarely run into someone driving around that would know it's fast.

I just picked it up, and it had been sitting for some time, so there was dirt in all imaginable nook and cranny.
I had to undo alot of the ghetto fab stuff and do it proper. That 16g is a pretty lil turbo.
Its also been expired for some time and I havent added insurance to it yet. So once I complete all the box-o-parts that the
car came with I will post pics of my heroic trio.
I guess all I would need now is a Mirage, Expo, Montero, Van, and I would have a complete Mitsu line up.

No, it was posted recently. Believe you me, I have been trolling Craigslist for a while just waiting for one local.
There was that white one down in Seattle that was pretty nice. But I knew one would come local soon.
The woman washed and waxed it for me yesterday, what do you think about that, so I will be posting pics soon.

Dude must have used it to go fishing or something, it smells of fish pretty bad. So I need to clean all that up too.
It has a tiny little Odyssey battery in it that in my opinion doesnt provide enough juice.
With the hardpipes for the intercooler there I will need to either put the battery in the trunk or find another spot for the
battery up front, need more amps than that little battery can put out, it barely cranks when you try to start it.

I better take my woman out on a really nice date this week, I have been down in the garage (man cave) all week and all weekend, I dont want my chops to feel the consequences.

I have a kensington grey 92 gvr4 with 96k original miles on it. I pulled the heart out of it to put into a black 91 gvr4 that I had picked up to sell. So, now it won't be getting any more miles on it because it has no engine LOL. The replacement engine is sitting next to the car (been like that for a year now). I don't mind not putting it back together just yet because I really don't want to click over that 100k mile mark.

Good find on the galant. Just keep up with the maintenance and it will last a while before it rusts apart :p

Haha. That bay and interior just doesnt look like it has all that done. I cant see the two gauges or turbo timer either, unless thats them right in front of that ugly ass shift boot :). I thought the Galant VR4's said VR4 on the grill....

I believe that car has it all done. Most galant owners like to keep it looking stock.

Laws change alot, we are required to have them, but they cant pull you over solely for that. It has to be something else they pull you over for, like speeding or burnt out tail lights or expired tags or something, then they can add that to the list of things the man holds you down with.
I had very little experience with Saab in the past. Its a decent car. gearing is great, T25 is a good turbo for that car. It even has a front mount intercooler stock. and all the turbo charge pipes are hard pipe stock. Also it runs off manifold pressure instead of mass airflow. it drives real smooth and is amazingly fast. and gets over 500 miles to the tank.
The Galant has a pretty big front mount, cant see it though cause previous owner painted it black. All charge pipes are hard piped, which is nice but a pain in the arse to take on and off cause everything has to go on just right.
If Montero was turbo, I would probably have one too. Shoot, if the Mitsubishi van was turbo, like a bunch I see on youtube, That would be awesome too, rear wheel drive and all. Though there is a Starion/Conquest combo for sale up here on Craigslist.
