Somewhat unrelated side note: 1078 (my 1st) was also Summit White. No sunroof, though.Ren

Not that I know of. I bought it in like April 2002 and trailered it from Maine to Norfolk, where it was shipped to Iceland. It's been here since June 2003, when I cam back from Iceland.

Honestly, it will take a lot of love to get this little guy back to race-ready condition, and, thanks to many Maine winters, would probably be a better organ donor than project car. However, he has proven to be a truly capable car, and in the hands of the right driver (my co-driver in Iceland...

Sorry for the delay in responding. I replaced the grinding 1-2 tranny and used the newly fixed ClutchNet setup. (Unfortunately I replaced the tranny with one that grinds in 1 through 4 instead of just 1 and 2, but that's another story.)That fixed the problem for the most part. I was still...

Apparently the problem was in the design of the clutch disc. I sent it back to ClutchNet and they fixed it:I called and the guy I spoke with (Russian or some other East European accent) said they replaced the spring housing with an open design. They must have used shorter spacer rivets...

Sorry, just sold it today to someone local.Ren

Cables are all the same from 91-up, IIRC. I have a 90 trans in mine, so the cables needed to be shortened (or swapped for a set of 90 cables, of which I realized after the fact that I had TWO sets... d'oh!).The clutch pedal was adjusted correctly, and the pedal assembly was just rebuilt by...

Well, I swapped out for the gently used Exedy stock clutch shown above, and the problem went away. There is still some grinding in 1st and 2nd, but that's more likely attributed to bad synchros; the reverse crunch is gone. I can get 1st and 2nd to not grind, if I give enough time for the gears...

New price. I'd really like to send this to a good home, but if no interest, it'll get parted out and crushed.Offers?

I pulled the stock Exedy clutch from 1078 for comparison. The PP has almost the exact same dimensions, but the disc is different by a good amount. See pictures below:The major area of concern seems to be the distance between the surface of the rear spring cover plate to the...

This is in response to my thread in the Newbies section: clickCliff's notes:91 GVR4 90 Tranny 91 xfer case 91 shifter with modified 91 cables ClutchNet Red 2x PP and Kevlar discHaving problems shifting into 1st, 2nd, and reverse.OK, I replaced the clutch pedal assembly with...

I'm selling the car that introduced me to Galant VR-4's and this forum. 1078 was originally white, but got a paint job due to being rear-ended. The repair work was pretty good, meaning the panels are all straight but you can tell it's not original (as if the color wasn't enough of a giveaway)...

Well, after looking at 1078's trans, there's no need to shim the pivot ball, as the release fork is already in a better position.I called Shep, and the guy there said the GVR4 clutch pedal assemblies are unique, i.e. AWD DSM is not the same. I would assume they would know for sure, since they...

I just checked the pedal height, clevis free play, and pedal free play. They were all a little off. However, I adjusted everything back to factory specs, and I'm still having the same issues... 1st, 2nd, and reverse grinding. So, I went and adjusted the clutch master pushrod out as far as it...

Master and slave are brand new. I've watched the slave push on the release arm while someone else pushes the pedal, and everything seems to be working like it's supposed to.I don't have an adjustable slave rod.

Paul,Good to hear from you! Life gets in the way of things sometimes. I've been pretty busy with work, and really haven't been messin' with the Galants of late. I sold #1571 (white one with AMG bumpers) to my ex's son, and he's really happy with it. I've got a lot of time off work now (3...

I just finished (well, like 3 months ago) installing a new clutch (ClutchNet Red 2X PP with Fiber Carbon disc) in #224. I also had to swap out the tranny because I let a "friend" drive it. I had a few used spares in the garage, so I swapped in a 90 GSX tranny. I kept my 91 shifter and swapped...

Nothing? No one has heard of this?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that there were some alternatives for our clutch hydraulics that would lessen the pedal effort for our cars; I thought it was from a 3S, but maybe not.I just got a new ClutchNet Red 2X PP and Kevlar disc for #224 (thanks Terry Posten for the recommendation...

Quoting Garfield Wright: Quoting turboren: I searched this, but couldn't seem to find it.... Wasn't there someone on the board here who made stock route hard IC pipes for our cars?RenFor about the same price you can upgrade the fmic & keep the piping if you're on a budget. It would be...

Actually, I think I found the name of the guy, but not sure if he is a member here... Dave Brode. As I recall, he made a whole pipe set for our cars for pretty cheap, but I can't seem to find it online. Anyone know if the kits are still available?

I searched this, but couldn't seem to find it.... Wasn't there someone on the board here who made stock route hard IC pipes for our cars?Ren

Here are some logs that I took when this occured. Maybe I'm just not that savvy with MMCd, but I don't see anything that stands out as something wrong:clickclickclickFrom what I can gather, this seems to happen between abnout 15% and 30% throttle.Anybody got any ideas...

Well, I just found out that I don't have NLTS on that chip anyway, which seems to make even less sense to me. Also discovered that my base fuel press is 40psi with the vac hose on, 44 with it off (fuel press solenoid still in use).

Turned up the boost and it just bogs at anything over 10psi. Turned it back down until this is fixed. I haven't made up that clutch wire yet, either. Can I just use some off-the-shelf diode for that? Doesn't look as though the one pictures in VFAQ is very big.

Cruise and wipers work as they should (well, cruise hunts somewhat, rather annoying), and I haven't noticed any bogging while coming to a stop. As I said earlier, though, the low rev limit thing doesn't happen all the time, and it actually hasn't happened at all in the past couple hundred miles...

Been a while since I've been on the board, but I've been pretty busy this summer workin on my cars. Anyway, I have a couple issues with #224 that I'd like to see if anyone can help with. First, the relevant specs:Blaha hacked 1g mas Big 16g (or evo3, can't remember offhand, and I'm not near...

I hate to do this, but after repeated attempts to PM, e-mail, and call this guy, I haven't gotten any response.Rick last ordered a shirt from me in the fall of 2007. The shirts weren't ready in time for Christmas, but I did get them in early January 2008, and sent them out as I got payments...

I'll check out the wires and relay and get back with you guys. I understand how automotive electrical systems work, but that was a good write-up anyway. As to whether the replacement starter was rebuilt or used (definitely not new), I couldn't say, as it was done before I bought it.I can...

1571 has had this problem since I bought it, and after much searching and head scratching, I still haven't come any closer to a solution.Occasionally, the starter won't spin. When this happens, I do hear a click, and the clutch pedal is fully down. I have to perform the following to get it to...

I have two, at like $200 a piece (30x40), and it still leaks. Flat rooves suck!

It got so crowded in there that I can no longer use the other side of the garage to put a car in. It's a little better now, I'll have to take some pics. It doesn't help any that the roof leaks like a sieve on the side where 1078 was, and the land lord won't fix it, so 733 really is taking up...

733/2000 is in the left in the first pic. I bought her from a member in FL in Sep 2003. She's been sitting in my garage on stands since at least March of 2004. First pic is from July 2004. All the rest are from January this year. The garage is a little cleaner now, but she is still on stands. I...

Yes, I have some, but no, they're not posted anywhere... still... working... on... it...

btw, #1571 has AMG bumpers F&R, plus AMG grill, power folding mirrors, and AMG valve cover. Stock VR-4 rear wing, though.

BTW, Mark, isn't your car in the September spot on this year's calendar? It looks black in the calendar, but it could just be because it's being taken at dusk. Otherwise it loos like it has to be your car, unless your car has a black doppelganger driving around out thereKind of ironic that it...

WHEN WHAT WHEREIs this the standard for titles, or do you just need this info in the title? I put this info in the title for my meet tonight, but not in that format.Ren

Thanks for the info.Ren

Sorry, folks, I'm still in CA, so there won't be any shirts for the raffle.Ren

Sort of OT, but what other cars came with non-EVO3 big 16g's? For instance, would an EVO II have come stock with a big 16g?

Thanks, that clears some things up.Ren

Do the Evo3's and big 16g's flow tha same amount? Is the Evo3 supposed to be quicker to spool?Ren

I realize this has more than likely been covered before, but are the evo3 and "big" 16g one and the same?I couldn't find it by searching, but RRE seems to indicate that they are the same. However, some people selling them say, for instance, "big 16g but not evo3."Thanks for the help...

Paid quickly for his shirt; very helpful with a question I had about tint removal.
