Id say mine would daily drive with zero issues. Just want to preserve it as its pristine! Enjoy driving a pristine car to shows and events!

If you get totally stuck, Im in Ireland an have no issue accepting a delivery from EU then re labelling it onto you. I know its a double postage cost but its an option.

Had a great spin out to a cars and coffee meet, couldnt help but stop and take this shot passing these colours...

Ah thats a beauty! Rare is an understatement for it. Good luck in the parts quest and keep the pictures coming!

Yes, its called the NCT, or National Car test. Roadworthy test, but on this as its pre 1993 there is not CAT (Emissions) test performed. Luckily!!!

Passed its bi-annual inspection recently, its always a stress as it can be quite onerous to acheive everything on older cars. Good news was all it needed was a small headlight alignment! Thats it for another two years of testing. Couldnt resist a car park moody snap either!

Happy endings and all that!Delighted with the 'freshen' up. It was messing with my OCD

Got in touch and brilliant news he has one in stock, needs a clean but I can live with that.He signed back in here and has seen this thread. He tried logging back in but it wouldnt let him or let him sign a new account up. I think the Mods need to push a button or something?

That 8MR looks amazing....

Messaged @alongvr4amg but no response yet. Fingers crossed....

Looking to replace the rear cluster light on the left hand side as you look at it. Mine has slight cracking on the white lens so looking for a JDM one in near perfect condition. Unsure if the whole garnish is one, or it seperates. Can anyone confirm? Requir shipping to Ireland.TIA

Welcome back!

This car just gets better the longer you look at it! I hadnt driven it in a while and got chance to sit behind it over the weekend as I brought the Evo aswell to Japfest. Caugth this picture and just liked the moodiness etc! ive loads more on Instagram @miller_63

The old girl dutifully passed its NCT (Car Roadworthy test) and as its a classic we get two years clearance on a successfull pass. Always a great feeling when it comes out with a clean bill of health.

So last update on this. I had the rack totally reconditioned and refitted. The knocking has now dissapeared so all good. There is still some very very minute play in it, which is put down to wear and tear on the worm gear. But overall its made a huge difference. No more 'shakey' steering wheel...

Hey, hows things?Great to see more owners popping up in Ireland. Was this the Galant for sale on DD in a dealer in Dublin?Whereabouts in Ireland are you? We technically could hold a VR4 meet now!

That looks a beautifull example, you can see the value in that and yet to bring a car to that standard then 19k is cheap!

Given the prices I see the USDM Galants selling for, versus the cost of a JDM 6G VR4 import then thats the reason for using the word 'cheap'. Should have used the word 'cheaper' instead.

Given how cheap the USDM VR4's are Id say a replacement shell would be your best avenue.

Welcome! Great to see the younger generation appreciating these cars. They are simply awesome and have a aura about them 99% of new cars simply dont have. Enjoy and post some pictures when you get a chance.

Welcome

Brexit once again proving it was the biggest shooting your own foot incident in history!Cheers man....

Thanks Richard, good to know there are a few experts this side of the pond!

No shop manual here am afraid, any link to it? As an update though, I dropped the rack into a service shop in Dublin two days ago. I got a call yesterday that they had inspected it and they can repair it. I am due to pick it up later on today, with a view to fitting it in the coming days. Ill...

Some nice kits in there too. Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks lads, know which Facebook page that was? Trying to keep it OEM as much as possible though.

As a query, if there is play in the Rack, do those washers and seals in that kit take that play out of it? As well as fresh seals.

Mitsubishi OEM is absolutely fine and all are easily available. Makes a massive difference to feel.

The plastic bushings simply wear out and disintegrate over time, hence why you cant see them. Here is mine from 160k kilometres, 100k miles. Nothing left whatseover of them. Very simple job to do and makes the box feel minty fresh.

Anyone got any tips on how to search for the Koyo Part number? Mine is half missing, id like to try and cross reference other models in case the rack is same... Really struggling now on this

Im the other side of the pond am afraid. Detroit wouldnt be close :d:

Are new racks available to buy? Does the KOYO OEM part cross reference?Im really struggling here!

So an annoying knock has been diagnosed as the Steering Rack. Despite the seals being done last year. If I send it to be rebuilt is there a parts kit I can buy for the rebuild? Whats the likely culprit here? Im not too familiar with steering racks! Help please....Koyo Rack so original OEM...

It will be advertised this side of the pond anyways! Was just wondering on its stateside knowledge. (y)

Edited.

I recently installed new Top Mounts and new shocks, say about 6months ago with less than 500km on them. Front right mount is knocking bad, i dissasembled it and it seems like the sleeve in the top mount was rocking slightly. Re assembled and the knock is worse than before.Is it just unlucky...

Short clip from the drivers seat! A view we would all be familiar with.

Nothing major to report, getting out on the odd spin here and there and its glorious. Attended cars and coffee a couple of weeks ago near me. Love driving this thing, especially at night. Something about Green lit dashboards really gets the JDM feels.Porous fuel filler line was replaced...

Watched that go to auction and was very tempted!! How is it in real life?

Does the AE86 still exist? What a cool car....its tiny beside a GVR4!

Sorry to chase Charles, any luck with those measurements?

Much appreciated. Thanks

Hi Charles,I have car back from paint and looking to position the side decals I got from you a while back. Ive misplaced my photo I took with measurements of the sticker position. Per chance would you have these dims to hand? Thanks Mike

and its back from the paint shop! Im over the moon with it....

Hi Dipak, Can you PM me with what you have please? Im based in Ireland so postage could be easy enough. Thanks

Halfway through its paint job! Flattened back to metal in places, dents and dings extracted. No filler or welding needed.

I haven't got around to trying the screw trick, my GVR4 is away for paint at the moment....its a long process.

That would be great if you could, I still haven't got around to opening the binnacle up. The Initial D chime is non existent in this one, well at least I haven't heard it yet and for sure its exceeded 65mph.

Cheers, Ill give that a go at the weekend coming up.
