I’m new here since I haven’t post ever, even though I know this forum since 2005. So I want to introduce my cars.
1274 of 2000 A87 1 of 86 of 627 Belize green 100% stock with 210 miles and everything works. Extra: as a personal touch power button to lock and unlock doors from inside handle driver's side.
I got my first Galant VR4 in the beginning of 2005 originally sold in some other state, I believe Florida somehow got all the way to WA state, the woman that sold it to me bought it from an auction in Port Orchard August 2004. She had spent a lot of money fixing this car. she payed to put the bell on and a rear differential betwen other things along and the car wasn’t right, It broke down all the time. She was ready to sent the car to junk yard. That’s when I came to rescue this galant from a sure dead.
When I first saw the car, It was very appealing to me (I have always like rare cars) so first I couldn’t identified the car until I started to inspect it and I couldn’t believe it was a four wheel drive turbo and on top of that AWS before that I didn’t know this car was for real since the only place I saw this car was on a video game from middle 90’s on sega cd. and I used to choose The galant vr4 because it had the best handle of all the cars on the video game.
This car was my project for 2005 so I drove the car and broke down several times so I had to pay a lot of money to keep the car running, keep in mind that I am a enthusiast and my mechanic knowledges are very limited and I like to work on cars just for hobby and as any hobby, one end it up paying a lot of money and you never get to see it back. I still have all the receipts believe or not.
First I had to get and replace parts that were broken or didn’t work at that time. For the cosmetic, bolts, screws etc. I got original parts for both cars from vr4's that were sitting in junk yards. I went trough different junk yards, one time I found this place that they have a least 3 of them most of them crashed and missing engines and transmission. I have witness a least 6 Gvr4 died and resting in junk yards getting dismantled. The car was reliable when I pay to put in an used engine and transmission import from japan. I was very lucky because I got the original engine with the red lid and a cyclone intake; at that point the mechanics that worked in the car recommended to keep the original intake sadly (now, because I should keep that cyclone intake with me at least, it ended up in the dump, I didn’t know better). Now with my experience, I easily could create one of those monsters (400 or 500 hp) that are on the forums with a third of what I put in this car to save it from a sure dead. LOL
1137 of 2000 A88 1 of 158 of Summit White stock most of it. 2" dropped and after market Konig sport 17”rims and as a personal touch power button to lock and unlock doors from inside handle driver's side.White with 180+ miles. It was sold originally in Mitsubishi Bellevue dealer and I believe I am a least the 5th owner. A guy who run a mechanic shop sold it to me April 2006 with 160xxx on it.
My project for 2006.
This car wasn't very different then my green. It broke couple times with minor problems old hoses mostly, radiator etc. and I decided to pay to rebuild the engine complete this time at 170+ miles.
This car it’s been sitting in the garage a least 2 years out of 5 that I have own it. I got to replaced parts that didn’t work and get the car functional as much as possible. On this car the power antenna doesn’t work and neither the A/C the rest works including original cd player, lights all around and cruise control as well.
I just realized that I haven’t drive these cars lately. I think I’m just out of interest or I’ve been working to much on my work van or my pick up. Last time I work on these cars was about a year ago. So I think is time for me to start to look for a new home for them. I might be selling both cars. Any ideas how much should ask?. suggestions are welcome.
