^^ looking very clean and shiny!

my existing 16G turbo managed to do this:



so I bought this (20G wheel and machined Evo III housing):



along with these:



Will get exhaust wheel back cut and the whole lot balanced and then hopefully back together soon, my whale of a VR-4 may be slightly less slow now!

The most immaculate and untouched facelift VR4 has been touched?

oh come on! it's not like I've hacked up the front bumper or put chrome wheels on it. It's a subtle factory upgrade mod which other than the down pipe no one would ever know! Am keeping original parts still etc. It has other small mods like a boost controller, boost gauge, ever so slightly lower but stiffer aftermarket springs (must have been fitted in Japan).

Yeah I was thinking about that a bit later, undetectable to the unwitting eye. I think I'll let this one slide
It will probably still be the most factory fresh Galant owned by anyone under the age of 70, let alone a VR4!

One step closer to getting back to road legal!
3 sets of these to keep the car from pogo-ing due to a snapped driveshaft



Few shots of the revised handbrake linkage - this time the throw is shorter and more effective. Not sure what size the bolts and coupling nuts are but they fit a 10mm spanner, so maybe M6 or M8?




I've cut off another 5-10mm of threads and fitted a spacer nut to the (longer) adjustment bolt. It would be better to cut the extra length from the actuator rod. Photos have come out blurrier than they appeared on the camera :/






I think cutting the rod down to 75mm or even 70mm length (from the far crimping) could be ideal. The movement of the handbrake is now about 30-45* rather than the 80-90*ish it was before

Got the car all certified and went for a warrant, expecting to fly through because there was nothing wrong in the pre-cert inspection.

I failed because the inspector believes my car was not turbocharged from the factory I don't know weather to laugh or cry.

K-sport coilovers & ingalls rear ams, 660cc injectors with chipped ecu & 2g AFM. Sard AFPR & walbro 255 ( rewired ). 240x550x75 cooler & 2.5" pipes that I made. 2.5" TB elbow. Enkei SC12 17" wheels.I just fitted a LC1 & G4 guage this week & am in the middle of fitting a boost controller. Will play with 15psi this weekend.

Quoting NZ VR4 RS:

while we are doing rims and offsets, had to fit some 15mm spacers on the front to clear the GTO brakes and put some 25mm on the back to even it up, plus getting some more track is a bonus..







what offset is this?
