Hi Guys, considering selling my beloved Galant Vr4. Its been a great little project but I'm looking for a camper or american pickup and I don't have the space for both with the other cars too.
Model: Mitsubishi Galant Vr4 4WD/4WS
Year: 1988 (imported 1993)
Mileage: Just under 100k (148k in KM's, now changed to Mph)
Tax: Apr 12
MOT: Feb 12
Pics: See below
Location: I'm about 15 minutes south of Glasgow
Price: £1800
Contact details: Scott, on smacin@lineone.net
Ive had the car for 3 years and it has done very little miles. I got the car from a member of Clubvr4 where I have been a member for around 5 years. Ive had a number of the newer twin turbo vr4's and seen this and thought id rescue it.
It came with no history, so I started to keep a good history as much as I could and the car has a wallet, manual and load of receipts. The car looks quite nice and standard but has had a number of modifications. The headline performance modifications from my records are as follows:
poly bushes & selby HD anti roll bars fitted
evo 8 suspension fitted
exedy evo 1 fast road clutch
Evo 8 560cc Injectors
dejon intake with 1g K&N, 2g MAF, Iceman 2g Maf converter & Dejon K&N adapter
C&C 400mm 63mm pipe with flange and 8mm vacume nipple
fitted samco radiator kit
63mm stainless and samco hoses for upper intercooler
63mm stainless and samco hoses for throttle body intake
cusco front strut brace
2g larger throttle body intake
NGK Powerleads
1/2 size race battery
K&N cone filter
Rspec manual boost controller fitted
TD05 Big 16g Turbo fitted
Evo 3 Manfold fitted
Emanage Blue fitted and tuned to 1 bar
Custom full turbo back exhaust fitted (no cat)
Ive done a lot of work to the car, including new pads and discs all round, new tyres, new wheels etc. I have receipts for many thousands for the work done and id rather not add it up!. Its very well equipped with 4 wheel steer and 4 wheel drive as well as climate control and an electric sunroof. All electrics work.
My readers ride thread which goes into more detail can be found here: retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=readersrides&thread=76246&page=3#1454045
The car has superb power, with little happening below 2000rpm. After which it flies and sounds superb. The car rides very very hard since adding the Evo suspension and the thick ARB's all round, but the handling is excellent.
Its in very useable condition but I'll be very honest about it. Please note the following negatives:
1. Bodywork is generally good and has had a respray at some point, but has started to bubble on one wing and the spoiler.
2. Solid ride as mentioned above
3. Electric window drivers side is slow (could be the race battery in the cold)
4. Seats are old school, very soft and very 80's
5. It makes the odd squeek now and then from the suspension or ARB's since fitting. I like it, it makes me laugh everytime, but I thought it worth mentioning.
Thats all I can think off. I did have a rough running issue recently, but the fuel was a bit old and since use and a fresh tank its been fine.
I will miss it loads, its never let me down even though it'll be running 300+ bhp. As mentioned above, I would like £1800 for it, which I think is a bargain
I'm afraid I'm not open to offers as I think it is a good price. Anything less and I would likely keep it.
Ive probably not answered a lot of questions, but feel free to ask away.
